Whether it's a residential apartment, commercial property or industrial building in Dublin, our team can survey your flat roof or balcony, providing expert leak detection, repair, and waterproofing services to restore your flat roof or balcony.
Most apartment blocks feature flat roofs and balconies, but they're also vulnerable to leaks when not maintained correctly, holding water which can cause membrane damage. We specialise in identifying, repairing, and preventing balcony leaks and flat roof failures. These problems, if left untreated, can lead to major structural damage, unsafe living conditions, and high repair costs.
What can cause a balcony or flat roof to leak?
- Flat roof and balcony leaks are usually caused by poor maintenance programs, failed waterproofing membranes, incorrect or poor drainage, cracked tiles, incorrect building design or issues with the original construction.
- These leaks often start small and go unnoticed until they cause interior damage with staining becoming apparent and mould growth.
- Apartment blocks in Dublin are susceptible to bird damage with flat roofs being ideal for nesting, it is one of the more common issues that we come across on a weekly basis.
How to identify a balcony leak early:
- Dark staining, mould growth or musty odour inside the property – If mould keeps returning despite cleaning, it could be a sign of excess moisture from a hidden leak.
- Pooling of water on the balcony or flat roof area during rain.
- Cracked or loose tiles on the balcony surface – Water trapped beneath tiles can weaken their adhesion to the surface, causing them to de-bond.
Our Services Include:
Leak Detection
Advanced diagnostics using spark testing equipment, thermal imaging and moisture sensors to locate the source of leaks.
Surveying & Reporting
We follow on with a detailed report outlining the area that the leak is originating and propose a resolution.

Installation or repair of high-performance waterproof membranes and liquid roofing membrane systems to suit the surface of your property. We regularly use materials like torch-on, bitumen, EPDM, and TPO systems. These are designed to protect against UV, water ingress, and temperature fluctuations. We commonly use Lava 20, IKO, Mariseal, Sika and Soudal products when carrying out repairs.
