I found the waterproofing company to apply a new torch on membrane on our roof and all balconies through procompare. I was hesitant at first but the service works great. The chosen contractor proved to be a skilled applicator showing great attention to detail. The job was done quickly and efficiently.

I has some problems with a balcony leaking and turned to Procompare for their help, as I have had great experience with them in the past. Yet again, they provided several quotes in matter of days. The chosen contractor did a good job for a very reasonable price. I was very happy with the outcome.

We already had a waterproofer sheduled to apply a new torch on membrane on our roof, when we had a leak days before the job, on a weekend. Our contractor was unavailable, so we decided to put in a request on procompare. We were so happy when Darrell called us only after an hour after submitting the request. He offered to come out immediately and see what the problem was. We were amazed. His crew came 24 hours after the initial contact and fixed the leak. I will never use another waterproofing company again!

First step before waterproofing an area is to clean the surface to remove dust, grease, rust, paint and any other material which may affect the adhesion of coatings. After cleaning the surfaces, verify the dectivity and if necessary fix it in order to avoid water stagnation. Lastly, prepare the surface (the preparation process will depend on the type of surface).
A properly installed waterproofing system should last you anytime between 10 and 15 years. On the contrary, a poorly installed waterproofing system can cause water leakages almost immediately after it meets water, avoid such waterproofing mistakes. Roof waterproofing can last longer, especially torch on waterproofing.
Depending on the extent of damage on your waterproofing membrane and the age of it, you can choose between simple patches or a complete replacement.
Torch on waterproofing usually lasts around 20 years.
sqaure meters IBR Flat roof, starting to leak at parepit Require full waterproofing solution Ideally liquid rubber solution The roof has been waterproofed previously with torch-on waterproofing but that is not lasting so I would prefer someone who specialises in liquid rubber waterproofing solutions.
It is an existing concrete roof with torch-on waterproofing that needs to be redone.
I am currently experiencing leaks above the slab and from the gutters, which needs to be rubberised.
We recently waterproofed our balcony using the torch on method and are looking to treat the surface for a finished look. Based in Brakpan. I look forward to hearing back from you.
