Frequently Asked Questions

What areas do you serve?

We serve the entire Stellenbosch area and nearby suburbs. Our local network allows us to connect you with suitable professionals familiar with properties and service requirements in Stellenbosch.

How long does waterproofing last?

Quality waterproofing can last 5-10 years or more, depending on the system used and environmental conditions.

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.

Can you waterproof roof surfaces and parapet walls?

Yes. Roof and parapet wall waterproofing is one of our most common services. We apply professional membrane or coating systems to stop current leaks and protect against future water ingress — essential for flat roofs and ageing buildings.

Do you have waterproofing contractors in Stellenbosch?

Yes — we match you with vetted waterproofing contractors working across Stellenbosch, for rising damp, leaking flat roofs, parapets, balconies and retaining walls. Tell us where the water is getting in and we send someone who does that specific work rather than a general handyman.

How much does waterproofing cost in Stellenbosch?

As a guide, rising damp treatment runs about R280–R480/m², torch-on flat roofing and parapets R350–R600/m², and liquid membrane on balconies and walls R150–R300/m². Every job is quoted after an on-site inspection, because the cause matters more than the area.

Why does damp keep coming back after it has been treated?

Usually because the surface was sealed without fixing the source. Boland winters are wet and summers are dry, which opens and closes cracks year after year, so a coating alone gets pushed off. Our contractors trace where the water actually enters and treat that.
