- Full onshore exposure. Driven rain and salt arrive together on the seaward elevation with no shelter.
- Balconies and glazed frontage. Large exposed decks over living space, and sealant around openings working hard.
- Balustrade fixings. Bolted through the slab and penetrating whatever membrane exists.
- Spalling on older blocks. Chloride reaching reinforcing steel in seafront concrete.
- Wind uplift on flat roofs. Membrane edges and terminations under sustained load.
Building Stock
Coastal houses and apartment blocks directly exposed to Table Bay, with concrete flat roofs, extensive balconies and large glazed elevations.
Sealant around windows and doors on the seaward side has a much shorter life here than the manufacturer's figure suggests. It is cheap to renew and a common cause of what looks like a wall leak.

Budget ranges only, not a quotation. Drawn from published South African waterproofing and roofing pricing so you have a starting point before anyone visits.
Ask what each rate includes. A cheap rate that excludes stripping and preparation is not cheaper.
Compare three quotes on specification rather than on the total alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does water come in around my windows?
Perished sealant at the frame is the usual cause on an exposed elevation. It is inexpensive to renew and frequently mistaken for a wall waterproofing problem.
How long does a balcony membrane last on the seafront?
Generally at the shorter end of the range. Salt, UV and foot traffic all work on it, so ten to fifteen years for a membrane under tiles is optimistic here rather than typical.
Do I need to find the leak before waterproofing?
If there is an active leak, yes. Water enters at one point and appears at another, so coating the stained area often misses the entry point entirely. The inspection comes first, then the system is specified for what was found.
Is waterproofing covered by household insurance?
Insurers generally cover sudden damage rather than gradual failure. A membrane at the end of its life is normally treated as wear and tear. Storm damage is a separate question and your policy wording decides it.
What is the difference between waterproofing and damp proofing?
Waterproofing keeps water off and out of a surface, usually from above or outside. Damp proofing deals with moisture already moving through the structure. The diagnosis differs and so does the fix.
How long does a waterproofing job take in Bloubergstrand?
A domestic flat roof is often two to four days including preparation and curing. Larger or multi-section roofs run one to three weeks. Rain stops work entirely, so winter jobs take longer than the working days suggest.
