Waterproofing pinholes in Marsden Park NSW

Pinholes are the most repeated finding in the Marsden Park set: eleven separate records, in shower recesses, in a niche and at the main drain. A pinhole is a break in the applied membrane about the width of a pen tip, usually a burst bubble in the coat or debris trapped underneath. It will survive a glance from the doorway and it will not survive a proper look with light behind it. Once the tiles are down it is a leak waiting for a year or two before it announces itself through the wall of the next room.

FAQ

Waterproofing pinholes in Marsden Park NSW: common questions

Is one pinhole worth reporting?

Yes. The membrane's whole function is continuity, so a single break is a path. Closing it before tiling costs minutes of the waterproofer's time.

When can this be inspected?

Only between the membrane curing and the first tile, which on these builds is often two or three days.

Who fixes it?

Your builder, as the party coordinating waterproofer and tiler. We give them the location and the governing clause.
