PS3 Certified – Council Compliant – Done Right the First Time
Water damage in a bathroom doesn’t start big — it starts silently, behind your tiles.
A small failure in waterproofing allows moisture to seep into your walls and floors. Over time, that leads to mould, rot, structural damage, and costly repairs that often require ripping the entire bathroom apart.
** The truth:
Most bathroom failures in Auckland happen because waterproofing was either done incorrectly or not done to code.


At Dakom Tiling, we make sure that never happens.
We provide PS3-certified bathroom waterproofing in Auckland, fully compliant with NZ Building Code Clause E3 and accepted by the Auckland Council for consented work.
What Happens When Waterproofing Is Done Wrong
Most issues aren’t visible until it’s too late.
By the time you notice something, you could be dealing with:
- Tiles lifting or cracking
- Persistent damp or musty smells
- Black mould inside the walls
- Rotten timber framing
- Concrete substrate damage
And at that point, it’s no longer a simple fix — it’s a full bathroom rebuild.

We regularly fix failed waterproofing jobs across Auckland. In almost every case, the cause is the same: poor application, wrong products, or no certification.
How We Waterproof Bathrooms (Properly)
We don’t cut corners – because corners are exactly where most leaks start.
Using ARDEX-certified waterproofing systems, we apply membranes as a complete system (not mismatched products), ensuring long-term performance.
Every project includes:
- Full waterproofing of shower floors and walls
- Sealing of floor-to-wall junctions (critical failure point)
- Reinforcement of internal/external corners
- Proper sealing around pipes, drains, and penetrations
- Correct membrane thickness + curing time before tiling
The result: a fully sealed wet area system, built to last – not just pass inspection.
PS3 Certification & Auckland Council Compliance
If your bathroom requires consent, waterproofing must meet strict requirements.
We provide a PS3 Producer Statement upon completion, confirming:
- Work complies with NZ Building Code (E3 Internal Moisture)
- Installation follows approved systems and standards
- A qualified applicator completes work
This is essential for:
- Passing council inspections
- Protecting your property value
- Avoiding issues during resale or insurance claims
New Builds & Bathroom Renovations
We work on both:
- New residential builds (working alongside builders/project managers)
- Bathroom renovations (including full strip-out and rebuilds)
Before waterproofing begins, we:
- Assess the substrate condition
- Identify any risks or prep requirements
- Ensure everything is ready for a compliant system
If your project includes tiling, we handle both waterproofing + tiling – giving you:
✔ One contractor
✔ One system
✔ Zero finger-pointing between trades
