Waterproofing for existing structures is covered under guidelines such as AS 3740-2021 (Waterproofing of Domestic Wet Areas) and AS 4654.2-2012 (Waterproofing Membranes for External Above-Ground Use). These standards ensure that waterproofing methods are compatible with both new and existing structures. A proper inspection and repair of cracks, leaks, or damaged substrates are prerequisites for effective waterproofing, which is commonly practiced in Australian conditions.
Precautions after waterproofing are indirectly covered in AS 3740 and AS 4654, which recommend:
Waterproofing significantly reduces moisture levels, which is crucial in preventing mould and mildew, as emphasised in AS 3666.2-2011 (Air Handling and Water Systems of Buildings – Microbial Control). While waterproofing directly addresses water ingress, additional measures such as ventilation and dehumidification are recommended to comply with Australian standards for indoor air quality.
