Waterproofing in Sea Point
Sea Point leaks travel between flats. Balconies, shower membranes and windows facing the sea are the usual paths.
Get Instant MatchBalconies and the flat below
A failed balcony screed or a tired door track lets winter gales wet the slab and the ceiling underneath. The body corporate may require a specific method and may need the neighbour included. Shower leaks inside the flat are a different membrane, often a renovation item, but they should not be confused with a balcony. Say which ceiling is stained: yours, or the flat below.
Salt attacks railings and window frames. If the frame is the gap, a coating on the balcony floor will not close it. Photos of the stain and of the outside joint are enough to start.
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 balcony, window, or shower, and whose ceiling is stained, yours or the flat below. Give the floor. A coating on the wrong surface will not close a frame that salt has opened.
Questions
Who pays when the flat below is wet?
That is between owners and the body corporate. This site does not decide liability.
Can work happen from a swing stage?
Sometimes, on taller blocks. Say the floor and whether the outside is accessible.
Is Green Point the same leak?
Often similar. Name Green Point so the provider knows the building.
