Warranty, guarantee & insurance details

Money-back guarantee

The 100% money-back guarantee is available only where expressly included in your written quote. It applies if we cannot resolve the waterproofing issue, subject to the agreed scope and guarantee conditions. BlastOff will set out the project-specific terms in the quote before work proceeds.

Warranty & project records

These are standard terms, assessed job by job unless otherwise stated in the quote. Work is photographed at key inspection stages and registered for warranty records. The warranty certificate is issued after final payment; the supplied terms state that the warranty is void while arrears remain.

The 50-year B2 durability requirement for exterior below-ground tanking is subject to manufacturer specifications. It is a durability requirement, not a 50-year workmanship warranty.

Insurance cover

  • Public liability: $5,000,000; an increase up to $20,000,000 can be arranged if needed.

A lasting fix for persistently damp internal walls

A managed rental needed more than another coat of paint. BlastOff exposed the substrate, repaired the defects and built a continuous internal waterproofing system through vulnerable corners and junctions.

01

The challenge

Persistently damp internal walls, ongoing tenant complaints and wall and floor finishes that kept failing.

02

The approach

Walls and floor were ground to bare substrate. Cracks were cut out and repaired with cement epoxy before waterproofing.

03

The outcome

Four membrane coats formed one continuous system. The rooms are now dry and the maintenance ticket was closed.

“Reliable, hardworking, and committed to quality. It’s refreshing to work with a contractor who genuinely cares about customer satisfaction.”

Waterproofing feedback

“We engaged with BlastOff for internal and external waterproofing after no-one could find our leak. Damian and his team found the leak and solved a long ongoing issue in our home. Great experience from start to finish.”
Ariel Cotton

The BlastOff difference

The waterproofing system is only as reliable as the surface underneath it.

BlastOff can manage more of the journey from assessment and preparation through repairs and protection. The exact method depends on the site—every job does not require excavation, blasting, injection or the same membrane.

  1. 01Assess

    Review symptoms, construction, access and likely moisture paths.

  2. 02Prepare

    Remove failed material and create a sound surface where required.

  3. 03Repair

    Address cracks, junctions and defects before waterproofing.

  4. 04Waterproof

    Apply the selected membrane or cementitious system.

  5. 05Protect

    Add drainage, protection or finishes required by the scope.

Two common waterproofing paths

The method should match the moisture problem

These are typical sequences. The quoted scope is confirmed after the site is assessed.

Nixon Park

Water entering below ground needed a connected membrane and drainage solution.

How we solved it

Prepare: Remove failed coatings from the blockwork and floor.

Protect: Install torch-applied tanking with NOVAFLO drainage to carry groundwater away.

Result: A continuous barrier supported by drainage, delivered as one scope.

How we solved it

Prepare: Strip compromised coatings from walls and floor.

Protect: Apply waterproofing across both surfaces, including their junctions.

Result: Continuous moisture protection for a working public amenity.

Layers of paint had hidden a recurring moisture problem instead of fixing it.

How we solved it

Prepare: Remove the built-up paint and expose sound surfaces.

Protect: Waterproof the walls, floor and connecting junctions.

Result: Better protection for the building and its internal finishes during regular cleaning.

Useful answers for planning the next step

Every property is different. These answers explain the typical decision points without promising one system for every site.

Call 09 583 2429
Do I need internal waterproofing or exterior tanking?

It depends on where water is entering, the wall construction, access and the pressure acting on the structure. Exterior tanking stops water at the positive face when access is practical. Internal systems may suit some existing basements and block walls. BlastOff assesses the site before recommending a method.

Does the existing coating need to be removed?

Failed paint or membrane normally needs to be removed so the substrate and hidden defects can be assessed. For internal work, BlastOff can grind coatings back with dust extraction, then repair cracks and prepare the wall for the selected system.

How do you work out where the water is getting in?

The team reviews the visible symptoms, wall and floor junctions, cracks, coatings, surrounding ground and drainage, then selects further preparation or testing where required. The recommended scope is based on the likely moisture path and site conditions.

Can the home or building stay in use?

Often, work can be staged around occupied homes or operating sites. Access, dust control, noise, excavation and service impacts are discussed before work starts so the programme can be planned around the property.

How long does waterproofing take?

Time depends on the affected area, access, substrate condition, repair work, curing times and the specified system. BlastOff provides a project-specific programme after assessing the site.

What affects the price?

The main factors are the size and depth of the affected area, access, preparation and repairs, drainage requirements, the selected waterproofing system and any reinstatement. A site-specific scope avoids pricing the wrong solution.

What warranty and documentation will I receive?

Standard terms include a 10-year workmanship warranty, 10 years for internal waterproofing and external below-ground tanking. Terms are job-specific unless otherwise stated in the quote. Key inspection stages are photographed. The certificate is issued after final payment, and the supplied terms state that the warranty is void while arrears remain. Manufacturer specifications and any PS3 requirements are confirmed for your project.

What should I send for an initial assessment?

Send the Auckland suburb or project location, where moisture appears, how long it has been happening, access constraints and a few clear photos. Commercial enquiries can also include plans, specifications or the relevant scope.
