- Flat roof waterproofing. Concrete townhouse roofs hidden behind parapets, with ponding and leaking outlets.
- Torch on waterproofing repairs. Older torch-on with blisters, lifted laps and cracked upstands.
- Wall waterproofing. Cracked parapets and plastered walls letting rain in.
- Balcony waterproofing. First-floor balconies leaking into lounges and garages.
- Shower waterproofing. Upstairs showers leaking into ceilings below.
- Waterproofing maintenance. Scheduled roof inspections and recoats for complexes.
Parapet Roofs
- Hidden roofs. Flat roofs behind parapets are rarely seen, so outlets block and membranes age unnoticed.
- Parapet tops. Cracks along the top of parapets let water into walls below.
- Upstands. The membrane must turn up the parapet and be sealed or flashed at the top.
- Outlets. Leaves and debris block outlets, and water then finds the weakest lap.
Storm Season in Fourways
Summer downpours fill parapet roofs fast when outlets block, and hail can split old membranes. Clear outlets before the storms and plan full re-waterproofing for the dry season.

Get Waterproofing QuotesWhat Affects the Quote
- Strip or overlay. Removing failed layers adds cost but gives a better base.
- Parapet details. Upstands, cappings and crack repairs add time.
- Number of units. Pricing a whole block at once usually lowers the rate.
- Roof falls. Screeding to fix ponding adds R60 - R150 per m².
- Estate rules. Limited working hours and gate procedures can lengthen the job.
Estates and Home Owners Associations
- Approval. HOAs and body corporates often need to approve contractors and colours of visible coatings.
- Access. Contractors usually need to be registered at the gate before work starts.
- Shared roofs. Where roofs run across units, agree who pays for each section first.
Questions to Ask a Fourways Contractor
- Will the old membrane be stripped or overlaid, and why?
- How will the parapet upstands and cappings be done?
- Will ponding areas be screeded to falls?
- Are you able to register at the estate gate and meet its rules?
- What guarantee is offered and what maintenance keeps it valid?
Waterproofing Fourways FAQs
Why does water come through the wall under my parapet?
Often a cracked parapet top or a failed upstand. Water runs down inside the wall, not through the roof.
Should my old torch-on be stripped?
If it is blistered or lifting widely, yes. Sound torch-on can sometimes be overlaid after repairs.
Can one townhouse roof be done without the whole block?
Yes, but the joins to neighbouring roofs need care, and the body corporate may need to approve.
How often should a flat roof in a complex be inspected?
At least once a year, ideally before the summer storms, with outlets cleared each season.
