Waterproofing is vital in any structure to prevent water and moisture from entering the structural areas of the home and eventually causing damage.  Roofs, walls, basements and garages are all susceptible to water and also need to be waterproofed.  Water may also cause damage in areas that are poorly ventilated thus it will always be our opinion to ensure ventilation is improved.  If not possible, then a system should be installed to increase the ventilation of the area.

Waterproofing your most important assets, a house or building, is extremely important. Every home, office building or any structure erected that contains a roof and wall, should be installed with water proof material. The effects of rain damage could be really detrimental to any building structure and building owners need to take the necessary precautions to ensure minimal or no damage at all.

It is highly costly if a building structure is damaged by water. The reparation necessary due to a burst pipe can be very costly based on the nature of the damage. A wise building owner will take the necessary precautions prior to any damage being caused to their property via installing the correct waterproofing products.

Waterproofing advisers will be able to advise you accordingly on the exact waterproofing material or product that is essential to your building structure. Restoring a building, especially a home to its original form after the effects of water damage can be stressful and highly inconveniencing. Safe guard your home immediately from the damaging effects of water by waterproofing your roof or wall.

Bituminous products are perfect for the waterproofing of roofs on buildings as they move with the structure. They are not too rigid and do not absorb water. Waterproofing membrane systems are designed to protect both residential and commercial buildings through a mixed substance made up of organic liquids that are highly sticky and viscous. Bitumen is a hydrocarbon and is created naturally from crude oil, it is a useful carbon store and does not generate greenhouse gases. The membranes are therefore a sustainable way of storing carbon on the Earth’s surface

IBR and Corrugated Roofs

There are various methods we can use to repair leaks on metal roof sections, which can include the following:

  • Re-sealing joints and nails using a suitable product.
  • Applying polystyrene/hardboard/torch waterproofing to metal roof.

Tiled Roofs

Tile roof sections may require many different methods to repair leaks. Each roof needs to be assessed individually. Some of the pros include:

  • Excellent tensile strength and elasticity.

  • Excellent weathering properties.

  • Temperature stability.

  • High impact and fatigue resistance.
