Membrane tanking is a proactive and essential measure for ensuring your property remains strong, dry, and protected, especially in areas where water exposure is a concern. Water ingress can have severe and long-lasting impacts on both the structural integrity and usability of a property. About 90% of building defects are directly related to water ingress or poor waterproofing. Membrane tanking ensures that moisture from the surrounding soil or water table does not seep into the structure and compromise its load-bearing capacity.
Consider a multi-story building with an underground parking facility in Auckland, where high rainfall levels (around 1,200 mm annually) and a fluctuating water table make foundations highly susceptible to water ingress. A properly installed membrane tanking system in such a case prevents costly structural repairs and maintains the parking facility’s usability.
By investing in high-quality tanking solutions, property owners can ensure their buildings remain strong, dry, and fit for purpose, no matter the challenges posed by water ingress. While initial waterproofing adds to construction costs, proper tanking can reduce maintenance and repair costs by up to 50% over the building's lifecycle.
When it comes to exteriors like retaining walls, balconies, terraces and external walls of your property, we offer high-quality exterior membrane tanking services. Our comprehensive methods include sealing cracks, applying proper coatings, and installing proper drainage.

Signs your property might need membrane tanking include:
Damp-proofing prevents moisture from traveling through walls or floors but does not protect against water under pressure. Membrane tanking provides a complete waterproofing solution, even in areas with hydrostatic pressure.
With a properly installed and well specialised membrane system, under certain circumstances, the product could last up to 50 years.
Tanking is a type of waterproofing that specifically refers to applying a waterproof membrane to protect underground structures. Waterproofing refers to various methods and materials to prevent water from entering a structure.
