Waterproofing in Claremont
Claremont leaks in winter are usually tiled roofs, valleys and box gutters on older doubles, not sea-facing balconies.
Get Instant MatchValleys and older doubles
Doubles with a roof hidden behind a parapet, and houses with a valley between two pitches, stain upstairs ceilings after a few days of rain. Flat roofs over an added bathroom at the back fail at the joint with the old wall. Trees drop leaves into gutters. None of that is solved by a balcony membrane specified for Camps Bay.
If the property is a flat, say so. A top-floor flat under a failed roof is a body corporate matter as well as a trade matter. Lower floors with a bathroom leak are a different enquiry.
Sending the enquiry
Sending the form on this page is free. It uses the same enquiry path as the rest of Cape Town Construction. A provider on the Lekker Network who covers this area and this kind of work may contact you. The price and the contract, if you hire someone, are between you and that provider. This site does not promise how quickly anyone replies.
What to put in the first message
Say valley, box gutter, parapet, or a flat roof over a back addition. Top-floor flats need the body corporate mentioned. A bathroom leak on a lower floor is a different visit.
Questions
When should I photograph the leak?
During the rain if you can do it safely, and again when it dries, so the path is visible.
Do southern suburbs roofs need the same spec as the coast?
No. Salt is lower here. Detailing is about tiles, valleys and parapets.
Will the enquiry go to a roofer or a waterproofer?
It goes to providers who take this kind of work. Describe the roof so the wrong trade can decline.
