Everything you need to know about waterproofing your home
Every South African homeowner can avoid lots of problems by waterproofing their homes.
I have an open balcony on top of a concrete slab. Under the balcony is my scullery as well as a bedroom. Between the tiled floor and the wall around the balcony, water is leaking into the scullery and bedroom. The leaks are only just where the roof and the wall meets, not any other places on the roof. In the corner of the bedroom you can also see the damp on the wall, just opposite the one outlet of the water on the balcony.
Specification: Waterproofing to concrete retaining walls to be one layer Derbigum CG4 waterproofing membrane, with mm side laps and mm end laps, sealed to primed surfaces by means of 'torch-fusion', to receive Delta MS8 Delta MS8 preformed high density polyethylene dimpled drainage and protection layer to receive compacted fill, to engineers specification, on top of geo drainage pipe system as per engineer's specification. Waterproofing to be installed by an Approved Derbigum Contractor under a 10-year guarantee. Dimple drain to receive a cover flashing to protect waterproofing membrane from stone falling between waterproofing membrane and dimple drain during compaction and construction
The bathroom, laundry & garage had been added to the existing house and sone time after the initial build, the corrugated roof of this new structure (which includes these 3 areas) was raised. When it rains, it leaks into the old structure on one side (that we are aware of) where the old and new structures meet..
I have a tiled deck which has developed small cracks. It was built 25 years ago using a tourched on system with a slip sheet and tiled with non glazed vitreous tiles over. What I would like is to leave the tiles in place and waterproof with a Derbigum system and then place artificial grass over the entire deck of 60 M 2 Many thanks, Ronald Rosenberg.
I would like to request a quote for a simple garden layout, mostly planting of lawn/grass and installation of irrigation. Regarding irrigation in particular, I would like to have water tanks installed for gathering rain water to be used when the tanks have water, otherwise a switch system of sorts to use municipality water when tank water is not available, including an automated/timing system for watering the garden. I'm not sure if that is something you do, or if it is something I would have to do beforehand. Nevertheless, I would still like to get an idea of what the installation of irrigation and planting of grass would cost at my home. The garden is in a sorry state and I think this is the right direction to go. Would it be possible for someone to come and look and provide me with a quote or rough estimate, that such a project would cost me? I would prefer email communication as per regarding of the meeting.

1. Do you offer external wood staining for weather protection. 2. We've had damp proofing to our home in the past, and it's starting to come back, although not as bad. There are a few sections (3 levels) however only a few patches which need damp repair. 3. Painting over after damp proofing 3 separate quotes would be ideal

I need a small team of people or a retired person with one gradner, someone hands on who also LOVE gardening. I do not need someone who sits in their bakkie whilst a crowd of people rush through the job with weed eaters and leave a half finished job. I also need people I can contact for referrals. Thank you.
