Your project in the canton of Lucerne

The canton of Lucerne is centred on the city of the same name, on the shores of Lake Lucerne, and extends into the Entlebuch and the Seetal. Lucerne's old town, with its covered bridges and painted façades, has many old buildings where lorry access is restricted. Kriens, Emmenbrücke and Ebikon form the suburban area, with many rental blocks and condominium flats. On the lakeshore, Meggen and Horw feature villas and houses with views. Further west, Sursee and Willisau have kept small old towns surrounded by countryside and farms. The canton is German-speaking, but you can explain your project in English in your request. For work on an old building or the exterior, check with your municipality. Give the municipality and postcode, the available delivery space and access to the building's different floors.

  • In Lucerne's old town, describe vehicle access and whether there is a goods lift.
  • For a lakeside villa, say whether the plot is sloping and how it can be reached.
  • In a condominium in the suburbs, state whether the work affects the communal areas.

Waterproofing work in the canton of Lucerne

In the canton of Lucerne, the proximity of Lake Lucerne and the Pre-Alpine hills brings a lot of rain. In Meggen or Horw, lakeside villas have basements, terraces and ponds exposed to groundwater. In the city of Lucerne, Kriens or Emmenbrücke, property management companies and co-owners call on waterproofing specialists for leaking flat roofs, balconies and underground garages. The Lucerne countryside, around Sursee and Willisau, has many farms whose pits and silos must remain watertight. In Lucerne's old town, before any visible work on a roof, your municipality will advise you on the procedure.

  • For an underground garage in a condominium, ask for a survey of the cracks letting water through, to choose between injections and a new coating.
  • If you run a farm, state the type of pit or silo and its access, as the coating depends on what it contains.

Frequently asked questions

What existing records help assess a flat roof in Lucerne?

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.
