Waterproofing by Innocent Ndou
Highveld thunderstorms arrive from around October and keep coming until March, often with hail and a lot of rain in a short time. Flat roofs and parapet walls, common on older Gauteng homes, are where water sits longest and finds the smallest crack. Sealing them in winter or early spring means the first big storm is less of a surprise.
Damp inside a house can come from several places: a leaking roof, a cracked parapet, rain splashing against the base of an outside wall, or moisture rising from the ground. Innocent looks for the likely cause before choosing a fix. Rising damp can be reduced and managed, but it is hard to stop for good, and you will get an honest view on that.

Getting ready for the job
Waterproofing needs a dry surface, so the work is planned around the weather and may move if rain comes. Clear anything stored on a flat roof or balcony, and make sure Innocent can reach the roof safely by ladder or through an access point. Loose old material is usually scraped off first, so expect some noise and dust.

FAQ
Waterproofing: questions people ask
How much does it cost to waterproof a roof?
The price depends on the size of the roof, its condition, how much old material must come off, how easy it is to reach and which system suits it. A small parapet repair and a full flat roof are very different jobs. Send photos and measurements to 084 602 2030 and Innocent will quote per job.
When is the best time to waterproof in Gauteng?
The dry months, roughly April to September, are easiest because surfaces stay dry and products can cure properly. Waiting until the first storm shows you the leak means working between showers. If a leak is already causing damage, get in touch anyway and Innocent will look at what can be done.
Can waterproofing fix rising damp?
Rising damp comes up from the ground through the wall, so it is harder to treat than a roof leak. Waterproofing can help reduce it and protect the plaster and paint, but it may not stop it permanently. Send photos of the wall and Innocent can tell you what is likely causing the damp.
Do I need to repaint after waterproofing?
Often, yes. Damp leaves stains and loose paint behind, and walls usually need to dry out properly before a new coat goes on. Innocent also does painting, so the waterproofing and the repaint can be quoted together and handled by one person.
