- Metal roof waterproofing. IBR and corrugated roofs leaking at screws, laps and rusted sheets.
- Roof leak repairs. Finding the leak point and fixing it, often without redoing the whole roof.
- Joint sealing. Sealing the join where an extension or backyard room meets the main house.
- Damp proofing. Damp walls in houses and backyard rooms.
- Wall waterproofing. Cracked plaster and walls that let rain through.
- Tile roof waterproofing. Tiled roofs with cracked tiles and loose ridges.
Extensions and Backyard Rooms
The join between an old roof and a new one is one of the most common leak points.
- Wall flashings. Where a lean-to roof meets a wall, a missing or loose flashing lets water run inside.
- Lap direction. Sheets laid against the fall or with short overlaps leak in heavy rain.
- Low pitch. Very flat metal roofs on backyard rooms hold water at the laps.
- Gutters. Missing gutters dump water against walls and cause damp.

Get Waterproofing QuotesWhat Affects the Quote
- Repair or full coating. Fixing screws, laps and flashings costs far less than coating the whole roof.
- Sheet condition. Holes or heavy rust mean new sheets before anything else.
- Number of roofs. House, extension and backyard rooms may each need work.
- Gutters. Adding or fixing gutters is extra but often stops wall damp.
Budget-Friendly Fixes First
- Replace screws. New screws with rubber washers stop many leaks on metal roofs.
- Reseal laps. Sealing lifted laps with the right tape or sealant fixes leaks along the sheets.
- Fix flashings. A proper flashing at the wall join stops many extension leaks.
- Coat later. A full coating can follow when the budget allows, ideally in dry winter weather.
Summer storms and hail quickly show which fixes are needed. Ask contractors to price the urgent repairs separately from a full job.
Questions to Ask
- Where exactly is the water coming in?
- Can you price the urgent repair and the full job separately?
- Will rusted sheets be replaced or only coated?
- What guarantee comes with the repair?
Waterproofing Soweto FAQs
Do I need to coat my whole roof to stop a leak?
Often not. Many leaks come from screws, laps or flashings that can be fixed on their own.
Why does my backyard room leak where it meets the house?
Usually the flashing at the wall join is missing, loose or badly sealed.
Why are my walls damp near the ground?
It can be rising damp, but missing gutters, high soil or leaking pipes are common causes too.
How much does a small roof repair cost in Soweto?
Ballpark: R1,500 to R5,000 for a small repair, depending on access and materials.
