Your project in the canton of Solothurn
The canton of Solothurn extends along the foot of the Jura and the Aare. The town of Solothurn, with its churches and Baroque houses, has an old town where getting around by vehicle is difficult. Olten, a railway hub, and Grenchen, shaped by watchmaking, have rental blocks and districts of family homes. Zuchwil and Biberist form a more residential suburban area, while Balsthal opens onto the Thal valley and its farms. In the north, Dornach lies within Basel's orbit. The canton is German-speaking, but your request can still be written in English. In the old town or for a change to a façade, it is essential to check with your municipality. Give the municipality, postcode and delivery access restrictions, especially if the building is in an old town.
- In Solothurn's old town, say whether access is via a pedestrian street or a courtyard.
- For a family home in Grenchen or Olten, give the year of construction and any work already carried out.
- For a farmhouse in the Thal, describe access to the building and the parts to be renovated.
Waterproofing work in the canton of Solothurn
The canton of Solothurn stretches between the foot of the Jura and the Aare valley. In Solothurn and Olten, the old towns have old houses whose limestone cellars let damp through after rain. In Grenchen, Zuchwil or Biberist, rental buildings and industrial zones need upkeep of flat roofs, terraces and underground car parks. In the Thal, around Balsthal, houses on the Jura slope receive runoff. In Dornach, near Basel, hillside villas often have fitted basements to protect. For work on a visible roof in Solothurn's Baroque old town, get in touch with your municipality first.
- For a basement converted into living space, state how it is used, as a bedroom or office requires stricter protection than a cellar.
- On an industrial flat roof, ask for the outlets and overflows to be checked, as they are often blocked by leaves.

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