Waterproofing Systems

Sheet and liquid-applied waterproofing for basements, roofs, podiums, wet areas and water features.

Overview

Waterproofing Systems in Abu Dhabi & the UAE

Water ingress is one of the most costly threats to any structure. Best Choice delivers waterproofing systems selected to suit the structure, its exposure and the project specification — from below-ground basements to exposed roofs and wet areas.

Waterproofing Systems — application on site

Waterproofing is one of Best Choice's principal service areas. The company profile documents a broad portfolio of sheet and liquid-applied technologies — liquid membranes, EPDM, PVC, HDPE and bituminous membranes, hot rubberized asphalt, PU foam and coatings, and Polyurea — alongside specialised Combo Roof and Green Roof systems.

Every system is only as good as its detailing and installation. Our team pairs hands-on application experience with dedicated equipment — from spray rigs and asphalt kettles to automatic membrane welders — so that each layer is installed the way the system requires.

Key Benefits

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which waterproofing systems do you install?
Liquid-applied membranes, EPDM, PVC, HDPE and bituminous membranes, hot rubberized asphalt, PU foam and coatings, Polyurea, and Combo Roof / Green Roof systems.
How do you choose the right waterproofing system?
It depends on the element (basement, roof, wet area or water feature), exposure, substrate, access and the project specification. We recommend a system after assessing these.
Can you waterproof an existing roof that is leaking?
In many cases, yes. We inspect the roof, identify the cause of the leak and recommend repair or re-waterproofing based on the condition of the existing layers.
Do you waterproof basements and water tanks?
Yes. Our project experience includes basement, wet-area, water-feature and lake-lining waterproofing.
How long does roof waterproofing take?
It depends on the roof area, the system, access and weather. We confirm a programme after the site inspection.
Do you carry out a site inspection before quoting?
Yes. On request, our team visits the site to assess the area, substrate condition and access, so the proposal is based on the actual conditions.
Which areas of the UAE do you cover?
We are based in Abu Dhabi and our project experience covers Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah and Al Ain.
