A Cape Town family business built on expertise, integrity and a 30-year commitment to protecting the homes and buildings we care for.
CBM Waterproofing was established in 1993 with a simple mission: to provide Cape Town homeowners and property managers with honest, expert waterproofing and building maintenance services backed by real guarantees.
What started as a small family operation has grown into a well-respected contracting business, completing hundreds of projects across the Cape Peninsula — from Camps Bay and Constantia to Rondebosch, Hout Bay, Lakeside and beyond.
We are BIBC registered (Ref: 98704) and Compensation Commissioner compliant (Ref: 990001009706), giving our clients the confidence that they are working with a fully legitimate, insured and accountable contractor.
Every project we complete carries a minimum 5-year workmanship guarantee, with certain systems offering up to 10 years.
Fully registered with the Building Industry Bargaining Council, giving clients peace of mind and legal protection.
We specify and install leading product brands to ensure durability and long-term performance — never cutting corners.
"Our business was built on honest work and real results. After 30 years, that philosophy hasn't changed — and it's why clients trust us with their most valuable asset."
CBM Waterproofing is personally managed by the Russell family. You'll deal with the decision-makers on every project.
Richard handles all site assessments and technical specifications. With over 30 years of hands-on experience, he identifies the exact problem and prescribes the right solution — every time.
Andrew oversees every active project from start to sign-off. He manages the team on site and ensures quality standards are met at every stage of the work.
We tell you what you need — not what you want to hear. Honest assessments and transparent pricing, always.
Premium materials, skilled craftsmen and meticulous quality control. We never cut corners — your home deserves better.
As a family business, Richard and Andrew are personally accountable for every project. You deal with the owners, not a call centre.
We show up when we say we will. We finish on schedule. We keep you informed throughout. No surprises.
Our solutions are designed to last. We back our work with real guarantees because we stand behind every job we do.
We understand Cape Town's unique climate — southeasters, Cape rain and salt air — and we specify solutions accordingly.
