18 Years in the Trade
VVS Waterproofing is a specialist contractor built by tradespeople — commercial, remedial and luxury residential work across NSW.
The Owner
Joe HammoudeFounder, VVS Waterproofing
VVS Waterproofing was built on one principle: waterproofing is a technical trade, and it should be treated like one. After more than 18 years on Sydney sites, I have seen what fails and why — and almost none of it is the product.
It is preparation. It is detailing at thresholds, outlets and penetrations. It is being rushed off a deck before a system has cured. So we run every job the same way: assess the substrate, prepare it properly, detail it first, install to specified thickness, test it, and document it.
That is what a builder, developer or strata committee is actually buying — not a bucket of membrane, but a system that will still be watertight in ten years.

Why VVS
What the company was built around.
Specialist, not general trade
Waterproofing is at the core of VVS. We also coordinate the supporting scopes that protect it — substrate preparation, remedial screeds and falls, and tiling where it forms part of the package — but membrane work is the specialty everything else is built around.
Commercial and remedial depth
Base-build packages and rectification in occupied buildings — two different disciplines, both delivered in-house.
Luxury residential capability
High-end homes, terraces and bathrooms where the finish is only as good as the build-up underneath it.
A team that stays
Experienced crews who know our standard of preparation, detailing and protection on every site.
One point of contact
Direct communication from tender through to handover — no layers between the site and the decision maker.

Common questions
What warranty do you provide?+
Workmanship is warranted by VVS, and manufacturer material warranties apply to the specified system. Warranty terms are confirmed in writing per project.
Do you work on commercial construction sites?+
Yes. Commercial and remedial work is our core business. We supply SWMS, ITPs and QA documentation and work to the site's programme and induction requirements.
Can you investigate a leak before quoting rectification?+
Yes. We carry out structured leak investigation with staged testing and issue written findings with photographs before any rectification scope is priced.
Which waterproofing systems do you install?+
We work with ARDEX, Sika and Tremco systems. Selection depends on substrate, exposure, movement, overburden, drainage and application conditions.
