Your project in the canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden
At the foot of the Alpstein, Appenzell Innerrhoden is a landscape of green hills, scattered farmhouses and villages with strong character. The village of Appenzell is famous for its timber houses with brightly painted façades, while Gonten, Schwende and Weissbad have more dispersed settlements, often on sloping ground. The Oberegg enclave, closer to the Rhine Valley, combines traditional houses with more recent buildings. Many properties are old, with timber structures that call for specialist skills when it comes to insulation, windows or woodwork. The canton is German-speaking, yet your request can be written in English. For any project affecting the outside of a traditional Appenzell house, check with your municipality. State the village, postcode and width of the access road if the house is on a slope or outside the village.
- For a timber house with painted façades, attach photos of the exterior so that tradespeople can assess the work.
- If your farmhouse is isolated, describe the access road and how passable it is in winter.
- Give the approximate age of the building, as insulation methods differ for old timber houses.
Waterproofing work in the canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden
At the foot of the Alpstein, abundant rainfall and snow that lingers for a long time test every junction on roofs, balconies and bases. Appenzell timber houses, common in Appenzell and Gonten, often stand on a masonry base through which damp can rise towards the beams. Farm annexes, pits and cowshed slabs require coatings that resist slurry. On farms scattered across the slopes, runoff frequently collects against the uphill wall, which must then be drained and protected. If the work changes the appearance of a traditional façade or roof, check with your municipality beforehand.
- On a timber house set on a stone base, have the barrier between the masonry and the first beam checked before treating the interior walls.
- For a farm on a slope, ask the tradesperson to observe where runoff comes from during a downpour, as drainage uphill often solves the problem at source.

Frequently asked questions
What existing records help assess a flat roof in Appenzell Innerrhoden?
Provide the roof plan, earlier waterproofing invoices and any known membrane specification. Describe when water ingress occurs and where it appears indoors, using safe photographs. Ask the contractor to inspect the drainage and underlying layers; do not lift the membrane or insulation to establish their condition yourself.
Why should the cause of water ingress be assessed before coating a surface?
Water may enter through joints, drains or adjoining construction rather than the visible wet patch. Provide photographs and any records of earlier work. Ask how the substrate and interfaces are inspected before a waterproofing system is selected or local repair proposed.
What should I compare in waterproofing contractor quotes?
Compare substrate preparation, membrane or resin system, joints and drainage details. Identify insulation and the final surface finish separately. Ask how the installation is checked and which conditions must be met before application, especially where the area is occupied or exposed to weather.
How should I prepare for the waterproofing contractor visit or work?
Provide safe access and existing roof or terrace documents without lifting membranes or entering unsafe areas. Identify drains and retained features on a plan. Agree protection and the sequence with adjoining trades, leaving assessment of damaged substrates and wet insulation to the specialists.
