Waterproofing work in the canton of Bern
For a waterproofing specialist, the canton of Bern presents very varied cases. In the city of Bern and in Köniz, rental buildings and condominiums frequently have flat roofs, penthouse terraces and underground car parks whose joints are ageing. In the Oberland, around Interlaken or Thun, heavy snow and temperature swings wear out chalet balconies and roof junctions. The Bernese Jura, towards Saint-Imier, has harsh winters in which frost cracks poorly protected screeds. Near the lakes and the Aare, cellars are sometimes exposed to groundwater. In Bern's listed old town, prior contact with the municipality is essential for any roof work.
- For a penthouse terrace in a condominium, specify whether the waterproofing under the paving belongs to the common parts, as this determines who places the order.
- In the Oberland, ask for the balcony upstands to rise high enough to stay above snow piled against the façade.

Frequently asked questions
What existing records help assess a flat roof in Bern?
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.
