Everything you need to know about waterproofing your home
Every South African homeowner can avoid lots of problems by waterproofing their homes.
the house is a 7.3x7.3m square, with the front wall height 4.2m (all walls cladded with metal sheeting) and the back wall 3m high. the roof is 7.3x7.4m. id like to request a roofing expert or someone with knowledge of flashing and trim, to quote me for the full installation of metal on all four sides of the building, the roof, and a 7.3x3m lean to stoep roof. the site is in de rust, and doesnt have access to electricity. will need battery operated machines for roofing.
My roof leaks every time that there is heavy rain. If there is continuous light rain, it will not leak. It leaks mostly on the Eastern side, but if the heavy rain continues for a while, then it leaks everywhere in the house. My husband keeps insisting that it is the wind blowing in rain, but even when there is no wind and only heavy rain it will leak.
My patio and garage roofs are currently flat roofs, constructed of metal sheeting covered with torch-on waterproofing. The patio roof was damaged in the hail storm in November last year. I would like quotes to replace both of these roofs with proper angled structures, with either tiles per the main house or metal sheeting of a matching colour. Project objectives: durability, low maintenance going forward, good water run off/guttering. We are looking at an area of approx 75 m2.
Hi there I am in the process of purchasing a home. It currently has a flat sheeting roof which has started to leak. I would like to find out (more or less) what the cost would be per square meter, to convert to Harvey tiles or a tiled roof. I understand a proper quote would be impossible without inspecting the house, and am looking for a base number per square meter if at all possible. Please connect via email only. Thank you!
Goeie naand. Kan julle dalk vir my 'n kwotasie stuur vir Insulation vir my huis in Oudtshoorn. Dis 'n drie slaapkamer huis en slegs die kamers het plafonne. So slegs insulation in die kamers gaan moontlik wees. Kan ek vir julle die huis se planne aanstuur vir 'n kwotasie? Hoor graag julle Groete
Dear RV Smith. My name is . My roof was Very flat. You advised that it does not need corrugated iron instead you put that stuff made from tarr. Ido not know whether you call it dempkos or dampproof or what. The problem I have is that this roof produces substance that makes water from the rain brown and I have water tank to trap rain water and reduce municipal water bill. I therefore request from you what paint can I use to prevent that black tarr liquid from coming out. I do not need reroofing that is what you did.
We are moving into our new property in Rondebosch East over the next few weeks and there is a back part of the home that I need some advice on. The back part of the home has metal sheeting and I would like to extend that area roofing over the open area as well to create some privacy. Need someone reputable who will be able to give the best advice.
Over haul maintenance Wind damage thatched ripped out on roof Had an overhaul in thatch wasn’t compacted tightly resulted in draughts and thatch being ripped off in strong winds and capping needs replacement and a couple a leaks To sum up the previous overhaul was shoddy workmanship hence the problems
Portion of roof over double volume has translucent sheeting (I think it is glass fiber installed 20 years ago: 4 sheets wide and c. 1,5 M long on both sides (E and W)) which was damaged by the recent hail storm. A small hole (± 20mm) appeared after the storm. So I guess the sheets will have to be replaced with corrugated polycarbonate sheets.
