Waterproofing Services We Provide in Paarl

Expert waterproofing for wine estates, heritage properties, and residential homes

Wine Estate Waterproofing Solutions

Wine estates need specialized waterproofing protecting valuable infrastructure. Cellars require tanking preventing groundwater ingress that could damage inventory and climate control systems. Tasting rooms and hospitality venues need balcony waterproofing for outdoor entertainment areas, proper deck membranes, and drainage systems managing heavy summer rain. We understand estate-specific requirements - retaining wall waterproofing for terraced vineyards, foundation tanking for underground facilities, and pool surround waterproofing for estate amenities.

Heritage Building Waterproofing

Historic properties need sensitive waterproofing approaches protecting structures without damaging character. We install modern waterproofing systems in old buildings - working with thick walls, unusual layouts, and heritage materials. Whether it's basement tanking in Victorian homes, bathroom waterproofing in Cape Dutch manors, or balcony membranes on period buildings, we balance modern protection with architectural preservation.

Bathroom and Wet Area Waterproofing

Comprehensive bathroom waterproofing prevents devastating leaks damaging properties. We install certified waterproofing membranes meeting SANS 10400 building regulations, provide proper tanking around showers and baths, and ensure installations include guarantees. When existing bathrooms leak, we assess whether repairs are viable or complete rewaterproofing is necessary, providing honest recommendations based on actual conditions.

Balcony and Flat Roof Waterproofing

Outdoor areas need robust waterproofing withstanding weather exposure. Balconies require torch-on membranes or liquid systems providing durable protection, while flat roofs need proper drainage preventing water pooling. We install UV-resistant systems lasting in harsh Paarl sun, design drainage managing summer storms, and ensure waterproofing protects structures below from moisture ingress.

Martmarie was great, their service was good.

HesmariePest Control · Jul 2026

I urgently needed a new automated entry gate. The previous one was old and rusted. Roelof Bruwer (RJ Projects) did an amazing job. The weather did prevent him from sticking to the original schedule but he kept me updated. He made a new gate and installed it. He even fixed the level of the track. It runs smoothly... beter than the previous gate. I would definitely recommend him.

Do you offer guarantees on waterproofing work?

Yes, we provide guarantees on workmanship and many waterproofing products come with manufacturer warranties.

Can you waterproof existing structures?

Yes, we waterproof existing roofs, basements, bathrooms, and balconies to fix leaks and prevent water damage.

What types of waterproofing do you offer?

We offer torch-on membrane waterproofing, liquid-applied coatings, cementitious waterproofing, and bitumen systems. The right method depends on the surface — flat roofs, tiled roofs, walls, basements, and bathrooms each require different approaches. We assess and recommend the best solution during a site visit.

Typical rates are around R280–R480/m² for rising damp treatment, R350–R600/m² for torch-on flat roofs and parapets, and R150–R300/m² for liquid membranes. Edges and detailing, not area, drive the real cost.

Can you find and fix a leak, not just waterproof over it?

Yes — our contractors trace the source of a leak or damp problem first, then fix it at the source rather than sealing over the symptom.
