Do you waterproof both residential and commercial properties?

Yes. We design waterproofing systems for homes, apartment blocks, retail and offices, industrial buildings, and sectional-title complexes across Cape Town.

Which flat roof systems do you use?

We install torch-on bituminous membranes and elastomeric liquid systems, specified to Cape Town’s UV, wind and rainfall conditions and the substrate (concrete, screed, metal).

What is torch-on waterproofing and where is it best used?

Torch-on is a heat-fused modified bitumen membrane that forms a seamless, durable barrier. It’s ideal for flat concrete roofs, balconies, terraces, foundations and retaining walls.

Do you line box gutters and problem details?

Yes. We line concrete and asbestos box gutters with high-performance membranes and seal critical details such as laps, outlets and joins to eliminate leaks and corrosion.

Can you waterproof tiled, metal and asbestos roofs?

Yes. We specify system-appropriate solutions for concrete tiles, corrugated/IBR metal and asbestos roofing, including ridge, valley, chimney and parapet interfaces.

Do you handle damp proofing as well?

We diagnose and treat rising damp, lateral damp and failed DPCs using breathable barriers, chemical DPC reinstatement and substrate repairs for long-term moisture control.

Do you waterproof reservoirs and earth dams?

Yes. We apply specialised containment systems for reservoirs, troughs and earth dams, specified for immersion, movement and UV exposure.

What guarantees do you provide?

Projects include written workmanship guarantees, with product warranties according to the specified system and site conditions.

How do you prepare surfaces before waterproofing?

Preparation includes high-pressure cleaning, detailing cracks and joints, priming compatible with the system, and moisture/adhesion checks before application.

How quickly can you attend to a leak?

We prioritise urgent leak calls and aim to attend promptly for assessment and temporary making-safe where required, followed by a full written scope.

Do you provide free quotes and site inspections?

Yes. We offer no-obligation site inspections and written quotations with a clear scope of work and system specification.

Which areas do you service?

We cover Cape Town and surrounding suburbs, including the Atlantic Seaboard, Northern and Southern Suburbs, West Coast and City Bowl.

Can you help with insurance reports for storm damage?

Yes. We assist with assessments, photos and scope reports to support insurance claims for water ingress and storm-related damage.

Are your products eco-friendly and low-VOC?

We specify eco-friendly, VOC-compliant systems suitable for homes, schools and commercial buildings, balancing durability with safety.
