Waterproofing through the decades in Australia

As a leader in leak detection, waterproofing, remediation and preventative maintenance, Danrae Group delivers exceptional solutions with proven processes – and by staying on top of new innovations in waterproofing.

Maintaining effective waterproofing with a building health check

Danrae Group can advise you on best practice to avoid major and costly waterproofing repairs. An essential procedure for every strata or commercial manager is a building health check.
