Our specialized solutions address moisture challenges in Singapore's humid environment, using proven techniques and durable materials designed for tropical conditions.
Application of high-grade polymer membranes creates impermeable barriers against groundwater intrusion. Our installation includes surface preparation, membrane bonding, and seam welding. Protection boards shield membranes from mechanical damage. Drainage channels direct water away from foundation walls effectively.
Penetrating crystalline compounds react with concrete to form permanent hydrophobic crystals within pores. This technology self-seals hairline cracks up to 0.4mm. Application involves surface cleaning, mixing compounds, and multi-layer brushing. Results last decades without requiring maintenance or reapplication.
Submersible pumps with automatic float switches remove accumulated water from collection pits. We install backup battery systems ensuring operation during power outages. Discharge pipes route water minimum 3 meters from structures. Regular testing and maintenance schedules prevent system failures during heavy rainfall.
Dimpled membranes create air gaps between walls and interior spaces, channeling moisture downward to collection points. Installation includes wall profiling, membrane fixing, and drainage pipe connection. This approach works effectively in existing structures without external excavation. Ventilation maintains dry internal environments.
Low-viscosity epoxy resins fill structural cracks under controlled pressure, bonding concrete permanently. We map crack patterns using specialized equipment before drilling injection ports at calculated intervals. Curing takes 24 hours, restoring structural integrity while preventing water passage through compromised sections.
Industrial-grade dehumidifiers maintain relative humidity below 60 percent, preventing mold growth and material degradation. We calculate required capacity based on cubic volume and moisture load. Units feature automatic drainage and humidity sensors. Energy-efficient models reduce operating costs while ensuring continuous protection.
Excavating around foundations allows application of rubberized asphalt coatings directly to exterior walls. We install drainage boards and perforated pipes at footing level. Backfilling uses graded gravel for improved drainage. This method addresses problems at source, providing superior long-term protection.
Perforated pipes surrounded by gravel intercept groundwater before reaching foundations. We slope trenches minimum 1 percent toward discharge points. Geotextile fabric prevents soil intrusion while maintaining water flow. Strategic placement around property perimeters diverts water from vulnerable areas during monsoon seasons.
Infrared cameras detect temperature variations indicating moisture presence behind surfaces. We scan entire basement areas, identifying hidden leaks and damp zones invisible to naked eye. Detailed reports include thermal images, moisture readings, and remediation recommendations. This diagnostic service prevents costly surprises.
Polymer-modified cement slurries bond chemically with concrete substrates, forming monolithic barriers. Application requires dampened surfaces and multiple coats applied in opposite directions. This system withstands hydrostatic pressure from both positive and negative sides. Suitable for potable water contact in storage areas.
Mechanical ventilation systems exchange stale humid air with fresh exterior air. We install exhaust fans, intake vents, and ducting configured for optimal airflow patterns. Automatic controls activate systems based on humidity thresholds. Proper ventilation complements other measures, maintaining healthy indoor air quality.
Polyurethane or epoxy coatings seal concrete floors against rising damp and chemical exposure. Surface preparation includes grinding to open pores and remove contaminants. Primer coats ensure adhesion before applying topcoats. Finished surfaces resist abrasion, chemicals, and moisture transmission through capillary action.
Quarterly inspections monitor system performance, checking pumps, drains, and coatings for deterioration. We clean gutters, test equipment, measure humidity levels, and document conditions. Early detection of issues prevents major failures. Annual reports track long-term trends, helping property owners maintain optimal protection.
24-hour service addresses sudden flooding or system failures. Our team arrives within 90 minutes equipped with portable pumps, generators, and temporary sealing materials. We extract standing water, identify failure causes, and implement immediate solutions. Follow-up appointments schedule permanent repairs once emergency situations stabilize.
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.

Real feedback from property owners who have protected their basements from tropical moisture and flooding
Our basement flooded twice during monsoon season before we contacted Cleansteadcore. They installed a crystalline membrane system combined with external drainage channels. The investment was SGD 8,200, which seemed steep initially, but we've had three heavy rainy seasons since then with zero water intrusion. The crew arrived on time every day, completed the work in 6 days instead of the estimated 8, and the area was spotless when they finished. Worth every dollar for the peace of mind alone.
Professional service overall. They used cementitious coating on our cellar walls and installed a sump pump system. The result is solid and the dampness issue is resolved. Scheduling took slightly longer than expected due to material delivery delays, but the team communicated well throughout. Price was fair at SGD 5,400 for 45 square meters.
Excellent work! The polyurethane injection method they used stopped water seeping through cracks in our foundation completely.
The technical solution works well - they applied EPDM rubber membrane and the basement stays dry now. Communication could have been better during the project, and I had to follow up several times to get updates. The final quality is good, but the process felt disorganized at times. For SGD 6,800, I expected smoother project management. That said, the actual installation crew knew their job and the materials used appear to be high-grade.
We needed urgent basement sealing before the November rains. Cleansteadcore responded within 24 hours and had a team on-site in three days. They applied bentonite clay panels with a protective board layer. The speed didn't compromise quality - inspection after 8 months shows perfect condition. They charged SGD 7,100 for 52 square meters, which included emergency scheduling premium, but still competitive. The project manager explained every step and showed us how to maintain the system. Our storage area went from musty and damp to completely dry. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with tropical humidity issues.
Solid results with bituminous coating applied to exterior walls. The basement is now usable year-round. Initial quote was accurate, no hidden costs. Would prefer if they offered weekend services, as taking time off work for the 4-day project was inconvenient. The crew was respectful and cleaned up daily. Cost was SGD 4,900.
