Signs of a Leaking Balcony
Balcony leaks can be sneaky. Because balconies are exposed to the elements, even small failures in grout or waterproofing can lead to big problems over time. Watch for these signs that your balcony might be leaking:
Cracked or missing grout
Check the grout lines between tiles on your balcony. If grout is split, crumbling, or missing, water can penetrate through the gaps.
Loose or “drummy” tiles
Tiles that sound hollow or feel loose underfoot indicate water has gotten underneath, weakening the adhesive.
White powdery residue
A chalky white deposit (efflorescence) on tile surfaces or grout is a sign of water seeping through and leaving mineral salts behind.
Pooling water
If rainwater tends to pond on the balcony instead of draining off, it could be due to poor slope or clogged drains. Standing water eventually finds its way into cracks.
Water stains below
Look at the ceiling of the room or area directly under the balcony. Brown stains or damp patches on that ceiling mean the balcony above is leaking through.
Peeling paint or rust
On the balcony’s edges or on any metal railings and door frames, bubbling paint or rust can indicate persistent moisture exposure.
If you notice any of these issues, it’s crucial to address them promptly. A leaking balcony left untreated can lead to structural damage in the concrete, rot in wooden framing, or even create slip hazards with algae growth.
Our Balcony Repair Approach
Megasealed has an affordable, proven process to fix balcony leaks while minimizing disruption. We always start with a thorough inspection to determine the extent of the damage. Depending on the condition of your tiles and substrate, we offer two main solutions:
Balcony Epoxy Regrout
If the tiles are in good shape and the leak is mainly through failing grout, we perform a complete regrout using our Megagrout epoxy. First, the old grout is carefully removed from all joints. Then we apply the new epoxy grout, which seals the gaps and creates a waterproof barrier between tiles. This process stops leaks through the tile surface and refreshes the look of your balcony. It’s ideal for balconies with no structural damage.
Balcony Waterproof & Retile
If tiles are extensively damaged, loose, or the balcony’s slope/drainage is inadequate, a more comprehensive repair is needed. In this case, we remove the existing tiles and screed (the cement layer that forms the balcony slope). We install a new screed with proper fall for drainage, apply a high-quality waterproof membrane over it, then retile the entire balcony surface. Finally, we use Megasealed’s epoxy grout in all new tile joints for maximum water resistance. This restores structural integrity and ensures the balcony is fully waterproofed and like new.
