This ensures you have the qualifications and experience to handle waterproofing tasks effectively, preventing water leaks and protecting building integrity.
To become a licensed waterproofer in NSW, you'll typically need a formal qualification.

This program equips you with the knowledge and skills for applying various waterproofing membranes and treatments to protect buildings from water ingress.
The NSW Fair Trading website provides detailed information on waterproofing licences in NSW https://www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/trades-and-businesses/licensing-and-qualifications/waterproofing-licences.
