About Cleansteadcore

Founded in 2015, Cleansteadcore emerged from a clear need in Singapore's construction sector. Our founders, specialists with 20 years of combined experience in building protection, recognized that tropical environments demand specific waterproofing approaches. High humidity levels reaching 80-95%, intense rainfall exceeding 2,400mm annually, and constant temperature fluctuations create conditions where standard waterproofing fails within 3-5 years.

We established our practice specifically to address these challenges. Our team includes 8 certified waterproofing specialists trained in tropical climate solutions, using materials tested for Singapore's environmental conditions. Each project begins with soil analysis and water table assessment, as groundwater levels in areas like Bukit Timah and Tanglin often rise during monsoon seasons.

Our Mission

We protect below-ground structures from water damage using proven methods and materials rated for tropical conditions. Our work prevents mold growth, structural deterioration, and indoor air quality issues that affect 40% of basements in Singapore's humid climate. Every installation includes a detailed moisture management plan and post-installation testing to verify membrane integrity.

Our Vision

To establish Cleansteadcore as the leading provider of basement waterproofing solutions across Southeast Asia. We aim to expand our services to neighboring tropical regions while maintaining our focus on technical excellence. By 2026, we plan to open training facilities for waterproofing specialists, sharing knowledge about moisture control in high-humidity environments.

Technical Expertise

Our team has completed 340+ basement waterproofing projects in Singapore, from residential properties in Sentosa Cove to commercial developments in Marina Bay. We work with crystalline waterproofing systems, polyurethane membranes, and bentonite clay barriers—materials that maintain effectiveness in temperatures ranging from 24°C to 34°C. Each specialist undergoes annual certification updates on new waterproofing technologies and application techniques.

Core Values

Technical Precision

We follow manufacturer specifications exactly, using calibrated equipment for membrane thickness and conducting mandatory moisture tests before and after installation. Our quality control process includes infrared scanning to detect potential weak points.

Material Selection

All products we use carry certifications for tropical applications, including resistance to fungal growth and UV degradation. We source from suppliers with proven track records in Southeast Asian markets, ensuring material availability for future repairs.

Client Education

We provide detailed documentation showing water table levels, soil composition analysis, and drainage system layouts. Clients receive maintenance schedules specific to their property, including inspection intervals and early warning signs of water intrusion.

Continuous Improvement

Our team attends quarterly workshops on waterproofing technology and participates in industry forums focused on tropical construction challenges. We track performance data from completed projects to refine our methods and material recommendations.

Completed Projects

Our team has successfully protected numerous residential and commercial properties across Singapore from moisture damage. Each project demonstrates our expertise in selecting appropriate materials and applying proven techniques suited to tropical conditions.

Installed bentonite clay panels with drainage board system to handle high water table conditions typical of coastal areas. Project included foundation crack repair and sump pump installation.

Jurong Industrial Warehouse
Industrial

Jurong Industrial Warehouse Storage

Protected 800 sqm underground storage facility for electronics manufacturing company. Applied epoxy coating system with integral waterproofing additives to concrete floors and walls. The solution prevents moisture penetration while providing chemical resistance for industrial operations. Completed within 6 weeks during off-peak hours.

Orchard Road Retail Basement
Commercial

Orchard Road Retail Basement

Renovated waterproofing system for 400 sqm retail storage space beneath busy shopping district. Removed failed coating and installed cementitious waterproofing with cavity drain membrane. Work scheduled during night hours to minimize business disruption. System now handles condensation and groundwater effectively.

East Coast Terrace House
Residential

East Coast Terrace House Renovation

Restored waterproofing in 180 sqm basement of 1980s terrace house with chronic seepage issues. Excavated exterior walls to apply rubberized asphalt membrane and installed French drain system. Interior walls received crystalline treatment. The owner now uses the space as a home office and storage area without moisture concerns.

Why Choose Our Waterproofing Solutions

Specialized protection for basements and cellars in Singapore's humid environment, using proven materials and techniques designed for tropical conditions

Tropical-Grade Materials

We use cementitious waterproofing compounds and crystalline systems rated for 95% humidity levels. These materials include polyurethane membranes with 180% elongation capacity and epoxy coatings that withstand constant moisture exposure typical in Singapore's climate.

Hydrostatic Pressure Management

Our systems handle water table fluctuations during monsoon seasons. We install drainage channels, sump pumps with 150 liters per minute capacity, and pressure-relief valves. The approach includes both positive and negative side waterproofing depending on basement depth and soil conditions.

Heat-Resistant Application

Materials are applied using methods suitable for 28-34°C temperatures. We schedule work during optimal humidity windows and use quick-setting compounds that cure properly in tropical heat. This ensures proper adhesion and prevents premature drying that compromises waterproofing integrity.

Mold Prevention Technology

We incorporate anti-fungal additives in all coatings and use vapor barriers with 0.02 perm ratings. The system includes dehumidification recommendations and ventilation planning. This prevents the growth of common tropical molds like Aspergillus and Stachybotrys that thrive in damp basements.

Multi-Layer Protection

Each project includes primer coat, two waterproofing membrane layers, and protective screed. We apply 2mm thick liquid membranes followed by cementitious overlays. The layered approach creates redundancy, so if one barrier develops a minor breach, others maintain protection against water infiltration.

Site Assessment Protocol

Before starting, we conduct moisture meter readings, soil permeability tests, and structural surveys. Our team examines crack patterns, checks for efflorescence, and measures existing water seepage rates. This data determines which combination of materials will work for your specific basement conditions.

15-Year Material Warranty

All waterproofing membranes come with manufacturer guarantees covering material defects and performance failures. We provide documentation from suppliers like Sika, BASF, or Fosroc. The warranty includes provisions for tropical climate stress testing and covers both material degradation and application workmanship.

Minimal Disruption Process

Most basement waterproofing takes 5-7 days depending on area size. We work in sections to maintain partial basement access. Equipment includes low-noise dehumidifiers and contained dust extraction systems. The process allows you to continue daily activities while we protect your below-ground spaces from moisture damage.
