Several balconies or galleries are leaking

Problem guide · Balcony and terrace

Several balconies or galleries are leaking

Recurring moisture complaints within an apartment complex.

Problem · cause · effect

First understand what is going on.
Only then choose a system.

01 / SIGNAL

What you can observe

Moisture traces, loose finish or leakage are found on several similar balconies, galleries or connections.

02 / BUSINESS CONSEQUENCE

Why timely assessment helps

Individual repairs per home may differ in detail quality and may not structurally solve a repetitive system problem.

03 / SOLUTION DIRECTION

What is being technically investigated

Inventory representative home types, slopes, sills, drains, cracks and connections and then develop one repeatable renovation scope per type.

Possible causes

The visible complaint is not always the real cause.

These causes constitute a targeted checklist, not a remote diagnosis.

01

Repetitive weak connection to facade, sill or edge

02

Insufficient slope or poorly functioning drain

03

Cracks or outdated waterproofing under the finish

Project-specific control

Three components determine the correct next step.

The Problem Guide provides direction, but does not make an unfounded material claim. For a final system choice, we check the situation on location or based on sufficient project information.

  1. 01Slope, drain, sills and connections
  2. 02Cracks, moisture and condition of the existing finish
  3. 03Gewenste eindafwerking en gebruiksbelasting

Value of a complete approach

Don't just recover.
Making the project manageable.

  • One controllable system structure for comparable balcony types
  • Plan resident nuisance and work order per line or building section
  • Document details, test surfaces and delivery uniformly

In-depth and evidence

From recognizable problem to verifiable project information.

Frequently asked questions

Answered briefly and technically honestly.

Do all tiles always have to be removed?+

Not always. Preservation is only possible if the substrate, adhesion, moisture and detailing are demonstrably suitable.

Can a complex be implemented in phases?+

Yes. A test area and repeatable typology help to make phasing and resident communication manageable.

Is only treating the visible leak sufficient?+

Usually not with repetitive complaints; similar details and the water route must be assessed together.

Short route to implementation

Check with two questions whether the project fits.

The project fit prevents an unnecessarily long application. Your problem situation is selected in advance and known data then travels automatically.
