Wintertime is not typically when people start talking about roof waterproofing services in South Africa, since our driest season tends to put little pressure on structures where water damage is concerned. This does, however, present the perfect opportunity for building and home owners to prepare their structures for next summer, while also keeping them protected against the few that still exist in winter.

Here we will go over why wintertime is the perfect time for waterproofing:

WORK CAN BE DONE MORE EASILY

When you opt for wintertime roof waterproofing services in South Africa, you are picking the perfect time to get contractors to do the work with minimal complications and interruptions, which are usually present as a matter of the weather.

A consistently dry climate will ensure that work can go on unhindered by rain and moisture, for better results in even less time that it usually takes.

THERE IS STILL A DANGER OF WATER DAMAGE

Just because there is no rain doesn’t mean the structure is free of risk of water damage. Consider those damp areas in the structure, such as the basement, bathrooms, or kitchens, where moisture is still very much present.

During the wintertime, where temperatures drop low enough for this moisture to freeze, they may still result in structural damage as a result of this. For this reason alone, waterproofing is essential at any time of the year.

LESS DEMAND MEANS FASTER TURNAROUND TIMES

There is typically far less of a demand for roof waterproofing services in South Africa during the wintertime, which means that you will be able to experience faster turnaround times when hiring contractors.

This significantly enhances the convenience experienced by doing so.

What is the Hydro Rubber waterproof coating made of?

Hydro Rubber is an elastomeric roof coating that is sprayed directly onto an existing roof system.

There are few reasons why building owners choose to install Hydro Rubber. It is more cost-effective than removing the old roof entirely and is considered maintenance, not another roof layer. Most importantly, Hydro Rubber offers a complete, seamless waterproof layer.

How long does a Hydro Rubber coating last?

Depending on the initial application thickness, Hydro Rubber coatings will last a minimum of 10 years. We have performed extensive weather testing to determine how long the coating will last.

What is more, Hydro Rubber coatings often outlast their warranty, especially if they are maintained properly. If you live in an area where hail and thunderstorms often occur you should inspect your roof frequently.

Maintaining your Hydro Rubber coating

Proper annual maintenance will improve the longevity of your Hydro Rubber waterproof coating. The maintenance process starts with a visual inspection for signs of damage from factors like wind, debris or heavy rains. Special attention is paid to areas such as gutters and drains to ensure that rainwater is moving off the roof correctly and any minor repairs are fixed.
