Who pays to fix a waterproof membrane damaged during construction?

Delaminated membrane due to improper aftercare on-site

Membranes completely destroyed following abuse

from trades.

- someone (????) placed tarp over fresh membrane & then weighed down with steel and timber !!!

- Flashing was not installed at the correct time.

Tarp stuck to waterproofing membrane

All too often construction trades working over the top of newly installed waterproofing membranes do not take enough care.

- Stacking materials and /or rubbish on a new membrane.

- Loading plasterboard or other materials over membranes.

- Placing ladders on top.

- Plumbers dropping metal off-cuts  from above.

- Water splashed on new membranes i.e de-watering.

- Pieces of metal get trampled into the membrane - pop rivets, nails, screws,   bikes, small cars  ..............you get the idea.

Second layer of membrane delaminated

Before

What a beautiful membrane

After trades have worked over a membrane –

regardless of instructions

WHAT A MESS !!!!!!

The disaster that started this post – electrician has *torn* away the waterproof membrane to install conduit!

So don't ruin a perfectly good waterproof

membrane due to on-site carelessness.

Repairing waterproofing membranes can be 

expensive and hold up ongoing construction works.
