What happens if my home is not properly waterproofed?

Since parts of South Africa, also Johannesburg, experience heavy rains sometimes, having a home that’s not waterproofed correctly can result in costly damages to your property. Water can drip through cracks that stain walls or cause mould to grow on surfaces.

What can I do to prevent water damage in my home?

To ensure you don’t experience any water damage in your home, call a waterproofing contractor in Johannesburg that offers waterproofing inspections.

What are the different causes of water leaks in the home?

Waterproofing isn’t simply for the roof but it’s designed for other parts of the home too. Windows, plumbing, taps and showerheads should be completely sealed to prevent leaks. However sometimes when these areas aren’t sealed correctly they can cause slow drips and leaks to occur. Here are a few causes of water leaks in the home: - Broken washers on taps - Cracked roof tiles - Faulty skylight seals - Improper window frames - Under floor flooding - Worn plumbing

I can’t see water but I smell a damp odour in my house. What’s causing it?

There could be a slow leak in your house that can’t be found without professional assistance. Perhaps a waterproofing contractor in Johannesburg can come to your home with the proper equipment to find the slow leak for you.

What do waterproofing inspectors focus on?

A waterproofing inspector focuses on three types of detected problems: - Penetrating dampness: Leaks coming from burst pipes, broken roof tiles and cracks through the walls. - Condensation: Mould can be found on the ceiling which is the cause of incorrect ventilation. This is caused by a build-up of moisture in the air. - Rising dampness: This is the result of poor damp proof course (DPC) in the roof and walls.

How long does it take for a contractor to inspect your waterproofing?

The waterproofing inspection may take an hour to an hour and a half. It all depends on how big your property is and the ease of reaching the roof & detecting where your plumbing is situated. Waterproofing contractors have the correct equipment to make the process go quicker.

What can I expect from a waterproofing inspection?

An inspector will come to your home in Johannesburg and investigate the entire area to see what’s causing the damage. From there, the inspector will give you a breakdown of what the repair process will be. It’s best to leave the repairs to the professionals because they have the correct materials and equipment to patch up leaks so that it doesn’t happen again in future.
