Description

Information about a licence or certificate in waterproofing.

You must have a licence before you do any residential building work in NSW, including waterproofing, valued at more than $5000 (incl GST) in labour and materials.

Scope

Waterproofing is any protective treatment of a home to prevent water or moisture getting into it.

It is also the protective treatment of wet areas of a home (such as a shower) to stop the unwanted escape of water from those areas.

The protective treatment used is solid membranes or membranes applied by brush, roller or any other method.

To learn more about what is considered waterproofing, see the definition in schedule 4 of the Home Building Regulation 2014.
