- Sheet roofs on housing. Fasteners and laps as the primary failure point rather than the sheeting.
- Additions and lean-tos. Added roofs joined to the house at abutments that leak in wind.
- Flat ground drainage. Low relief, so surface water sits against walls rather than draining away.
- Damp at floor level. Ground and paving levels raised against walls over time.
- Industrial roofs nearby. Large sheet areas with corrosion and lap problems.
The Housing Stock Here
Suburban housing with pitched tiled and sheet roofs, a substantial stock of semis and additions, and industrial premises with large sheet roofs nearby.
Where ground or paving sits above the damp-proof course, lowering it is often the entire fix and costs a fraction of injecting a new course. It is worth checking before anything is treated.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bridged damp-proof course?
It is where paving, a patio or a garden bed has been built up above the level of the original course, so moisture crosses it. Lowering the external level frequently solves the damp on its own.
How do I know if my damp is rising or penetrating?
Rising damp holds a level line, usually below a metre, and does not change much with the weather. Penetrating damp appears at any height and worsens within hours of rain.
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 Eerste River?
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.
Should I get a written report as well as a quote?
On anything beyond a simple repair it helps. A report setting out what was found and why a system was chosen gives you something to compare against and something to refer back to if the work is questioned later.
What should a waterproofing quote include?
The measured area, the system and product by name, the number of coats or layers, the preparation being done, how upstands and outlets are detailed, access equipment, the guarantee term and the exclusions.
