Roof Garden & Roof Terrace Waterproofing for Strata Buildings
Solutions for Long-Term Asset Protection
Roof gardens, podium decks, and rooftop terraces are common features in strata buildings across British Columbia. While they enhance livability and property value, they also represent one of the highest-risk waterproofing assemblies in multi-family construction. When these systems fail, the result is often widespread leakage, interior damage, and costly special assessments.
We specialize in roof garden and roof terrace waterproofing for strata properties, delivering durable, BC Building Code–aligned systems designed to protect the building structure and reduce long-term liability.
Understanding Strata-Specific Waterproofing Risks
In strata buildings, roof gardens and terraces typically sit above:
Parkades
Residential units
Amenity spaces
Mechanical rooms
Failures can affect multiple owners and common property, making proper waterproofing critical. These assemblies must withstand:
Constant moisture exposure
Heavy overburden loads (soil, pavers, planters)
Freeze-thaw cycles
Limited access for future repairs
Once covered, waterproofing systems are difficult and expensive to access—making correct design and installation essential from day one.
BC Building Code–Focused Systems for Strata Properties
Our waterproofing systems are designed to align with BC Building Code principles, including:
Positive drainage to prevent water ponding
Continuous membrane protection at penetrations, terminations, and transitions
Protection from root intrusion and mechanical damage
Compatibility with insulation, drainage mats, and overburden assemblies
Detailing that supports long-term performance and serviceability
We work with strata councils, property managers, engineers, and building envelope consultants to ensure the waterproofing system integrates seamlessly with the building’s overall envelope strategy.
Services for New Construction & Strata Remediation
We provide roof garden and roof terrace waterproofing services for:
New Strata Developments
Podium decks and landscaped amenity spaces
Rooftop terraces and common-area patios
Planter boxes and inverted roof assemblies

Manufacturer-approved installation practices
Photo documentation where required
Coordination with third-party consultants and field reviews
This approach supports strata records, depreciation reports, and long-term maintenance planning.
Protecting the Strata Corporation’s Investment
Waterproofing failures can lead to:
Expensive emergency repairs
Insurance claims and deductibles
Interior damage across multiple units
Reduced property value and owner dissatisfaction
Our goal is to deliver durable waterproofing systems that reduce risk, extend service life, and protect common property assets.
