How to hire a waterproofing pro in Hong Kong
- Diagnose the seepage source (roof, wall, inter-unit) before choosing a system
- Where inter-unit seepage is the cause, expect the Joint Office / building management involvement
- Ask for a written scope, product spec and guarantee
- Confirm access and scaffolding needs for external work
- Check the contractor's insurance and references
Waterproofing is unlicensed in Hong Kong; roof, external-wall and inter-unit seepage are the common jobs, and seepage disputes between flats go through the Joint Office (FEHD/Buildings Department). External work often needs scaffolding, which drives cost.

Frequently asked questions
How much does waterproofing cost?
It depends on the method and area. Internal sealants and damp-proofing for a small area are the cheapest option; cavity-drain membranes and tanking cost more; a full basement or below-ground waterproofing system is the most expensive, running into five figures. The cause of the water dictates the right system.
How do I choose a waterproofing contractor in Sha Tin?
In Sha Tin, look for a specialist who diagnoses the water source before quoting, proposes a system matched to it, offers an insurance-backed guarantee, and shows relevant qualifications. Avoid one-size-fits-all chemical-injection sales pitches.
Can I waterproof a basement myself?
Small sealant jobs on a minor damp patch are DIY-able, but below-ground waterproofing against groundwater pressure is specialist work — get it wrong and you trap water or flood the space. Full basement systems should be designed and installed by a qualified specialist.
Do I need a guarantee or warranty?
Yes — reputable structural waterproofing comes with an insurance-backed guarantee so the cover survives if the contractor ceases trading. Ask whether the guarantee is company-backed or independently insured, because a company-only warranty is worth little if they close.
How long does waterproofing last?
A properly installed cavity-drain or tanking system can last decades, and quality membranes carry long guarantees. Cheap surface coatings applied over an unaddressed water problem fail fast. Longevity depends on correct diagnosis and installation far more than the product.
What does waterproofing cost in Hong Kong?
A bathroom or small sealant job typically runs HKD 3,000-15,000, roof or membrane systems HKD 12,000-55,000, and full structural waterproofing HKD 40,000-160,000.
