Moisture in the wall, not paving
Retaining-wall waterproofing is tanking and drainage. It is not a paving retaining wall and not a garden hardscape card.
Walls and retaining walls — moisture, not paving
Wall waterproofing in Somerset West
Wall waterproofing in Somerset West — moisture on walls and retaining walls. Not paving retaining walls, not a painting firm.
01
Wall waterproofing should close the moisture path in a wall or a retaining face — tanking, detailing, drainage as needed — not a paved retaining wall, and not a decorative coat.
Wall waterproofing in Somerset West is moisture work on walls that take rain, soil or irrigation: house walls, boundary walls, and retaining walls that are wetting a room or blowing plaster. It is not a paving page, and it is not building a retaining wall as a hard-landscaping job. Lateral moisture through a retaining face, penetrating rain on an exposed wall, and irrigation against a boundary are ordinary Helderberg briefs. Parapets and garden walls that were never capped or tanked show up the same way. We inspect the wet face, the dry face, ground levels and what is watering the wall. Treatment is a system or a detail, not a decorative coat. Photos of both faces if you can, the suburb, a site inspection. Strand and Gordon's Bay considered from Somerset West. No prices, no written year.
What good work includes
Scope the complete requirement.
Both faces of the wall
A wet room face with a soil face behind it is a different brief from rain on an exposed boundary. We look at both when we can.
Irrigation and ground levels
A lot of 'damp walls' are being watered. We will say so when that is the path, rather than sell a coat.
Good fit for
Practical solutions for real properties.
The work is assessed according to use, condition, access and the result required.

Straight answers
Questions about wall waterproofing.
Final recommendations depend on the site. These are useful starting points.
Is wall waterproofing the same as building a retaining wall?+
No. This is moisture work on the wall. It is not a paving site and not a retaining-wall build.
Boundary walls, retaining walls and garden irrigation — waterproofing or damp proofing?+
Often both words get used. The job is the path: soil, irrigation, rain, or rising moisture. We name the path, then we treat it.
Can you waterproof a wall we cannot access from the soil side?+
Access shapes the spec. Interior tanking is a different brief from exterior work. The inspection says what is possible.
