Protect Your Commercial Kitchen from Moisture, Damage & Downtime
Running a commercial kitchen in Sydney means dealing with constant exposure to water, steam, grease, and cleaning chemicals. Without proper waterproofing, these elements can gradually lead to serious damage. For example, you may experience leaks, mould growth, slippery floors, and eventually expensive repairs. Moreover, if ignored, these issues can worsen over time and compromise both safety and hygiene standards.
At Sydney Epoxy Flooring, we specialize in comprehensive Commercial Kitchen Waterproofing System Services to keep your kitchen dry, durable, compliant, and hygienic.
Why Waterproofing Is Essential for Commercial Kitchens
Commercial kitchens are classified as “wet areas” under Australian Building Codes (AS 3740, AS 4654). Without a waterproofing system in place, kitchens quickly develop:
- Water seepage under tiles
- Mould and mildew along walls and floors
- Grease and steam-related deterioration
- Health and safety violations
- Structural damage from long-term leaks
That’s why investing in professional waterproofing is not a luxury—it’s a necessity.

1. Enhanced Hygiene

3. Health & Safety Compliance
Meet Australian health codes and avoid fines or shutdowns. Proper waterproofing helps you pass inspections with confidence.
