Waterproofing Services
By properly waterproofing pitch and flat roofs, homeowners and building managers can rest easy knowing that they have taken the necessary steps to prevent water from seeping into the building and causing damage. Balconies also require special attention as they are exposed to outdoor weather conditions, making them susceptible to cracking, chipping, and peeling.
Similarly, box gutters can become clogged from debris and may require regular maintenance to prevent water backup. To properly waterproof these areas, it is important to consult with a professional to ensure that the best materials and techniques are being utilised for optimal protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Roof waterproofing is the process of applying a protective barrier or membrane to a roof surface to prevent water from penetrating and causing damage. It’s essential because water infiltration can lead to mould growth, structural damage, insulation failure, and costly repairs. Proper waterproofing extends the life of your roof and protects your property investment.
Common signs include water stains on ceilings or walls, dampness in the attic, visible cracks or blisters on the roof surface, and frequent leaks during rain. If your roof is over 10 years old or has undergone patch repairs, it’s a good idea to get a waterproofing inspection.
The most common types include liquid-applied membranes (like acrylic, polyurethane, or bitumen), torch-on membranes, and sheet-based systems like EPDM and TPO. The choice depends on the roof type (flat or pitched), climate conditions, and budget. A professional inspection can determine the best option for your roof.
Depending on the material and quality of installation, roof waterproofing can last between 5 to 20 years. Liquid-applied systems typically last 5–10 years, while high-quality torch-on or sheet membranes can last 15–20 years with proper maintenance.
Yes, if the source of the leak is identified and the damaged area is properly repaired before applying the waterproofing membrane. However, if the roof structure is severely compromised, additional restoration work may be needed. Always consult a waterproofing specialist for a thorough leak assessment.
Roof coatings are typically used for aesthetic and reflective purposes, while waterproofing is specifically designed to create a water-impermeable barrier. Some coatings, like elastomeric ones, offer both benefits, but true waterproofing systems are more durable and effective in preventing water ingress.
Yes. Whether your roof is concrete, metal, tiled, or flat and slab-based, there are waterproofing systems tailored to each. The key is to choose the right method, liquid membranes for flat concrete roofs, flashing and sealants for metal roofs, and under-tile membranes for pitched tiled roofs.
Costs vary based on the size of the roof, type of waterproofing system, and condition of the surface. As of 2025, pricing ranges from R60 to R200 per square metre, including labour and materials. Get multiple quotes and ensure they include surface preparation, material type, and guarantees.
For an average residential roof, waterproofing can take 1 to 3 days, depending on the size, weather conditions, and drying/curing times of the materials used. Larger commercial roofs may take a week or more. Scheduling during dry weather is recommended to avoid delays.
Yes. Regular maintenance includes checking for cracks, ponding water, UV damage, or membrane deterioration. An annual inspection, especially before rainy seasons, can help extend the system’s lifespan and catch issues early. Some contractors offer maintenance plans as part of their service.
