Don’t Rely on the Uncertainty of Drainage

Installing a proper draining system can significantly reduce the pressure from the water absorbed by the soil. However, there might still be moisture seeping its way through. Without waterproofing block retaining walls, this moisture may lead to dampness, mould formation, and mildew.

Prevent Sudden Structure Collapse

Heavy water ingress may lead to sudden structure collapse if you don’t waterproof your retaining walls. This situation usually happens when there is constant exposure to water. Then, dampness, mould, and mildew penetrate the internal support, lowering the wall’s structural integrity.

Our waterproofing contractors offer industry-compliant retaining wall waterproofing in Brisbane to save you from the hassle of dealing with the decreased structural integrity of your block retaining walls and paying for rebuilding or repairs.
