FAQ: Waterproofing
Concrete slab roofs leak when the waterproof has aged and/or there is insufficient drainage on the slab. Smaller concrete slabs are more susceptible to leaks as they carry more volume of water in a smaller area. It is advisable to add more drain pipes in smaller slabs to avoid flooding, ensure that the slab is sloped towards the drains, the drains are not blocked and the waterproofing is maintained.
zinc/corrugated/IBR roofs leak are normally caused by a lack of sealant on the screws/nails and openings on the joints. You must ensure that all penetrations and joints on your zinc roof are adequately sealed and maintained
Tiled roof leaks are normally caused by cracked/broken roof tiles, deteriorated motar between ridges and open joints between tiles. Ensure that none of your tiles are cracked or broken, your motar is maintained and waterproofed, and your joints are closed and sealed if necessary

Concrete tiled
Broken tiles, cracked motar and blocked valleys are normally the root causes of leaks in these types of roofs. How we fix these normally includes an application of fiber waterproofing and motar application. NB: keep the valleys clean to prevent debris from blocking drainage or storm water
Zinc roof (corrugated/ IBR)
Loose screws and open joints are normally the contributing factors to leakage with these roofs. The solution is to secure all screws and include an application of fiber waterproofing to screw heads and joints.
Polycarbonate roof sheets
Hailstorms can be a nightmare for these sheets as the material is susceptible to hail damage. It is advisable to replace these as opposed to repairing. Close attention must be paid to the thickness and resistance value of the polycarb roof sheets that are installed.
Concrete slab roof
A torch-on method is best to deal with leaks in these types of roofs. Close attention must be paid to pooling water, as this can cause leaks too. This method of waterproofing lasts the longest but is not immune to maintenance requirements.
Gutters and Fascia/ Barge boards
Strong winds and heavy storms can cause significant damage to fascia/barge boards and gutters. These can only be replaced it is not advisable to only repair them.
