Procompare provided us three quotes for our leaking roof. All were very competitive and on time. We went with John and his company. We can honestly say we are extremely pleased with our choice. John is an excellent waterproofer. His service was outstanding. I highly recommend him.

Procompare set me up with Mr Urban and his crew - I can only recommend this contractor: the waterproofing was completed professionally and on time. They cleaned up everything. They answered phone anytime I called. And the price was reasonable.

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.
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.

I need someone to check the area please.
I am not completely sure about the sqm of the roof but it is a three bedroom house and the roof needs to be waterproofed.
I need waterproofing around the foundation of my house, there's water coming out from the ground. The plaster is coming out from inside.
