Your project in the canton of Vaud
The canton of Vaud stretches from the shores of Lake Geneva to the Vaud Alps. Lausanne, built on steep slopes, has many older rental buildings, condominium flats and streets where parking is difficult. On the Riviera, Vevey and Montreux combine Belle Époque buildings with villas overlooking the lake, while the slopes of Lavaux are covered in terraced vineyards. Nyon and Morges combine old towns and residential districts. Yverdon-les-Bains, at the end of Lake Neuchâtel, and Payerne, in the Broye, open onto more rural surroundings. In the Chablais and the Alps, around Aigle, chalets and mountain houses contend with snow. For a façade, windows or an extension, approval may be required, so check with your municipality. State the municipality and postcode, the type of property and access to the rooms or outdoor areas concerned.
- In Lausanne, describe the slope of the street, the floor and parking options for a works vehicle.
- For a winegrower's house in Lavaux, describe access via the vineyard paths and the space available.
- For a chalet in the Vaud Alps, give the altitude and the period when the road is clear.
Waterproofing work in the canton of Vaud
In the canton of Vaud, waterproofing requests reflect the diversity of the territory. In Lausanne, built on a slope, rental buildings run by a property management company have flat roofs, terraces and underground garages that start to leak over the years. In Lavaux, between Lausanne and Vevey, winegrowers' houses backing onto vineyard walls receive water from the hillsides. In Montreux and Nyon, villas on Lake Geneva combine a pool, a terrace and a fitted basement. In the Vaud Alps, above Aigle, chalets face snow and frost. The Orbe plain, towards Yverdon-les-Bains, has a high water table. In a protected site, go through the municipality first.
- For a house in Lavaux, have the wall against the vineyard and the terrace drains examined, as these are the weak points of buildings on a slope.
- In the Yverdon area, ask for an opinion on the water table level before converting a basement into a habitable room.

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