About Handymanagespot
Founded in 2015, Handymanagespot emerged from a clear need in Singapore's construction sector. Our founder, a civil engineer with 12 years of experience in tropical construction, noticed that many basement and cellar waterproofing projects failed within three to five years. The reason was simple: contractors applied temperate climate solutions to tropical conditions.
We started with a single team of four specialists and a commitment to research-based methods. Our first project was a residential basement in Bukit Timah that had flooded three times in two years. We removed the failing membrane system, addressed the hydrostatic pressure issues, and installed a drainage solution designed for Singapore's 2,400mm annual rainfall. Eight years later, that basement remains dry.
Our Mission
We provide basement and cellar waterproofing that works in tropical climates. This means selecting materials rated for constant humidity above 80%, designing drainage systems for intense rainfall, and applying techniques that prevent mold growth in warm conditions.
Every project begins with moisture testing and structural assessment. We measure existing water ingress, test concrete porosity, and calculate hydrostatic pressure before recommending solutions. This diagnostic approach has given us a 94% success rate across 380 completed projects.
Our Vision
We aim to establish science-based waterproofing as the standard for tropical construction. Too many property owners accept recurring dampness as normal. It isn't. With proper materials and installation, basements in Singapore can remain dry year-round.
By 2025, we plan to expand our training program for contractors across Southeast Asia. We currently run quarterly workshops on tropical waterproofing techniques, attended by 15-20 professionals each session. Knowledge sharing improves industry standards for everyone.
Core Values
Evidence-Based Methods
We use materials tested in tropical conditions and follow installation protocols verified through field performance. No guesswork, no shortcuts.
Transparent Communication
Clients receive detailed reports showing moisture readings, material specifications, and warranty terms. You know exactly what you're getting.
Long-Term Solutions
We design systems to last 15-20 years minimum. This requires higher upfront investment but eliminates repeated repairs.
Continuous Improvement
Our team attends annual training on new waterproofing technologies and materials. We test emerging products before offering them to clients.
Experience and Expertise
Our team includes six certified waterproofing specialists, two structural engineers, and three technicians trained in moisture diagnostics. Combined, we bring 67 years of experience in tropical construction. We hold certifications from the Building and Construction Authority and maintain partnerships with three international waterproofing material manufacturers. This gives us access to products specifically formulated for high-humidity environments, including crystalline waterproofing compounds, vapor-permeable membranes, and fungal-resistant sealants. We've worked on residential basements, commercial cellars, underground car parks, and heritage building foundations across Singapore, Johor Bahru, and Batam.
