Proven & Trusted

Is your Balcony or Podium showing Signs of Water Ingress, Structural Damage or Deterioration?

Bridgecrete’s balcony and podium remediation solutions address the full scope of defects across residential, strata and commercial buildings throughout Greater Sydney. With over 18 years of experience delivering balcony and podium repair programs, our remedial teams identify the root cause of defects and deliver compliant, long-lasting solutions that protect your asset and the people who use it.

Balconies and podiums are among the highest-risk building elements for defect and deterioration. Ongoing exposure to weather, UV and foot traffic places significant demands on waterproofing membranes, structural slabs and surface finishes. Left unaddressed, balcony and podium defects lead to water ingress into the building structure, concrete cancer, costly strata disputes and significant safety risks for occupants. Early intervention is always more cost-effective than waiting.

Balcony Waterproofing & Membrane Replacement

Failed or deteriorated waterproofing membranes are the most common cause of balcony defects in Sydney's strata building stock. Bridgecrete diagnoses the cause of membrane failure, removes all existing finishes and membrane systems and installs a new compliant waterproofing system appropriate to the exposure conditions and traffic requirements of the balcony.

Structural Slab & Soffit Repairs

Where water ingress through balcony and podium slabs has caused concrete cancer or structural deterioration, Bridgecrete carries out full remedial repair works to the affected elements. This includes concrete removal, steel treatment, repair mortar reinstatement and protective coating application to restore the structural integrity of the slab.

Tile Removal, Substrate Preparation & Retiling

Bridgecrete manages the complete tile removal, substrate preparation and retiling scope as part of balcony remediation programs. We ensure substrates are correctly prepared to receive new waterproofing and tiling systems, and work with owners and strata managers to select replacement tiles that match the existing building aesthetic where required.

Drainage & Outlet Rectification

Inadequate or blocked drainage is a leading contributor to balcony and podium waterproofing failure. Bridgecrete inspects, clears and where required replaces all drainage outlets, channels and overflow provisions as part of balcony remediation works, ensuring water is effectively managed away from the building structure.

Balustrade & Handrail Replacement

Non-compliant, deteriorated or structurally deficient balustrades present a significant safety risk and liability for building owners. Bridgecrete carries out balustrade and handrail replacement works across all building types, coordinating with engineers and certifiers to ensure all installed systems are compliant with current Australian Standards.

Threshold & Expansion Joint Rectification

Failed door thresholds and expansion joints are a common source of water ingress into balcony and podium structures. Bridgecrete replaces all failed threshold flashings, expansion joint covers and perimeter sealants as part of comprehensive balcony and podium remediation programs, addressing all potential points of water entry.
