Waterproofing for Condos & Apartments in Malaysia

Condo Waterproofing: Unique Challenges

Condo waterproofing is different from landed homes. A leak in your unit can damage the unit below, creating legal and financial complications.

Common Condo Waterproofing Issues

1. Bathroom leaks — most common, affects unit below

2. Balcony water seepage — damages living room of unit below

3. Window frame leaks — poor sealing around window installations

4. Pipe penetration leaks — where pipes pass through slabs

5. Common area roof leaks — JMB/MC responsibility
