Façade Waterproofing Services

Trident Facades provides façade waterproofing services for buildings affected by water ingress, failed weatherproofing and defects within the external building envelope.

Water penetration can originate from cladding, windows, joints, membranes, roofs, balconies or interfaces between different façade systems.

Common Causes of Façade Water Ingress

Water ingress can result from:

  • Failed seals
  • Defective joints
  • Damaged membranes
  • Poor flashings
  • Failed window interfaces
  • Defective cladding
  • Cracked render
  • Damaged façade components
  • Failed balcony waterproofing
  • Inadequate drainage
  • Poorly detailed interfaces
  • Deteriorated materials

Finding the entry point is not always enough. The underlying cause and route through the building envelope may also need to be established.

Investigating Water Ingress

Our dedicated survey team can undertake façade condition surveys and intrusive investigations where required.

Investigation can examine:

  • Cladding
  • Membranes
  • Insulation
  • Cavities
  • Windows
  • Curtain walling
  • Flashings
  • Joints
  • Interfaces
  • Balconies

Façade Waterproofing Solutions

Depending on the cause, remedial works may include:

  • Sealant replacement
  • Joint repairs
  • Membrane replacement
  • Flashing replacement
  • Cladding repairs
  • Window interface repairs
  • Render repairs
  • Waterproof coatings where appropriate
  • Balcony waterproofing
  • Drainage improvements
  • Interface remediation

The appropriate waterproofing system depends on the existing construction and source of water penetration.

Waterproofing During Façade Remediation

Waterproofing can form part of a much larger remediation project.

For example, replacing cladding may provide an opportunity to address defective membranes and interfaces behind the existing system.

A wider project may therefore involve:

Investigation → Diagnosis → Remediation Strategy → Design → Removal → Waterproofing → Façade Replacement

Façade Waterproofing for Existing Buildings

We work with building owners, developers, managing agents and property professionals dealing with persistent water ingress and external envelope defects.

Projects can range from isolated repairs to complete façade refurbishment.

Stop Water Ingress at Source

Effective remediation should address the cause of water penetration rather than simply treating the visible internal symptom.
