Not Sure What's Leaking?

“I can see damage inside, but I don’t know where it’s coming from.”

Ceiling stains, peeling paint, damp walls or cracked plaster can come from many areas above the roof. 

Send photos and we’ll help identify the source.

Leaks on concrete and slab roofs

“I have a flat roof or concrete roof slab”

Ponding water, failed coatings, old membranes, parapet leaks and skylights. 

Leaking tiled balconies and wet areas below

“My balcony, terrace or patio is leaking”

Cracked grout, loose tiles, damp ceilings below, poor drainage, wet wall functions or water pooling.

Metal Roof Waterproofing

Leaks around screws, overlaps, ridges, gutters, or roof joints

“I have a metal, corrugated or sheet roof.”

Metal roofs usually leak at the details, not the whole sheet.

Finding the Right System for Different Roof Waterproofing

Visible water damage inside doesn’t automatically tell us which system your roof needs. 
The right waterproofing method depends on your roof surface, it’s condition, how water moves across it, and the detail points most likely to fail. 

The Roof Surface

Concrete slabs, tiled balconies and metal roofs each need a different waterproofing method.

The Existing Damage

Failed coatings, loose tiles, rust, cracked seams, weak screed or unstable surfaces must be corrected before waterproofing.

Existing or Failed Drainage System

Ponding water, blocked outlets, and other drainage problems often cause repeat leaks. 

Junctions and Crevices

Skylights, parapets, outlets, screws, overlaps and wall junctions are common failure points.

How TaylorMade Handles Roof Waterproofing Assessments

We find the source first. Then we recommend the right solution. Especially for roof waterproofing Johannesburg

1. Check the Visible Damage

Ceiling stains, peeling paint, damp walls or cracked plaster can come from many areas above the roof. 

2. Inspect the Roof Surface Above It

We check whether the issue is linked to a flat slab, balcony, metal roof, skylight, gutter, outlet, parapet, or wall junction.

3. Choose the Correct Technique

May involve board & torch-on membrane, Hypercrete, acrylic, Daraflex, UV coating, or another surface-specific method. 

4. Quote Based on What's Required

Photos, roof size, access, surface condition, and the repair method help define the quote properly.

Not Sure Which Roof Waterproofing System You Need?

Many waterproofing failures happen because the wrong system was used for the roof surface, drainage conditions, or existing damage.

TaylorMade Waterproofing helps identify the actual source of the leak before recommending the correct waterproofing solution.

Roof Waterproofing Systems & Surfaces We Commonly Work On

Different roof types often require different waterproofing methods depending on the surface condition, movement, drainage, exposure to sunlight, and the existing waterproofing system already in place.

TaylorMade Waterproofing works across a wide range of residential and commercial roof waterproofing applications throughout Johannesburg.

Concrete Roof Waterproofing

Concrete roof slabs and flat roofs are some of the most common leak areas across properties for flat roof waterproofing Johannesburg and torch-on waterproofing Johannesburg.

These roofs often suffer from ponding water, failed waterproofing membranes, cracked surfaces, parapet leaks, drainage failures, and long-term weather exposure.

Torch-on waterproofing Johannesburg systems are commonly used on larger flat concrete roofs where long-term durability and reinforced waterproof protection are required.

Balcony & Terrace Waterproofing

Balconies and terraces can leak into the rooms below when waterproofing systems fail beneath tiles, screed, outlets, or wall junctions.

Waterproofing systems for balconies depend on the balcony size, drainage, exposure level, tile condition, and movement across the structure.

Some balcony waterproofing Johannesburg systems may involve Hypercrete, reinforced acrylic systems, or torch-on waterproofing depending on the project requirements. For expert balcony waterproofing Johannesburg.

Metal Roof Waterproofing

Metal and corrugated roofs usually leak around roof details rather than across the entire roof sheet itself.

These projects often require reinforced waterproof coatings, sealing systems, detail waterproofing, and protective weather-resistant coatings.

Waterproofing Systems & Materials We Use

The right system for roof waterproofing Johannesburg depends on the roof surface, the existing damage, water movement, exposure to sunlight, and the type of protection needed. TaylorMade Waterproofing uses different waterproofing systems for different surfaces instead of applying one method to every roof.

Torch-On Membranes

Used for flat roof waterproofing Johannesburg on concrete roofs, roof slabs and exposed flat surfaces needing strong membrane protection.

Acrylic Waterproofing

Used where flexible coating coverage, UV resistance and reinforced detail protection are needed.

Bitumen Waterproofing

Used for durable weather-resistant protection, primers, compounds and selected torch-on waterproofing Johannesburg systems.

FAQ

Roof Waterproofing Questions & Answers

How do I know if the leak is actually coming from the roof?

Water marks on ceilings, peeling paint, bubbling plaster, damp walls, and leaks around bulkheads or skylights are often linked to waterproofing failures above the affected area. In many cases, the visible damage inside is only showing where the water eventually exits.

TaylorMade Waterproofing first checks the roof surface, drainage, parapets, outlets, wall junctions, and other detail areas to identify the likely source properly before recommending a waterproofing solution.

Yes, in many cases, photos help identify the likely roof type, waterproofing condition, drainage problems, and visible failure points before a site visit is arranged.

Sending:

  • photos of the roof,
  • photos of the visible damage,
  • your suburb,
  • and the approximate roof size

helps TaylorMade Waterproofing advise on the most suitable next step faster. Experts in roof waterproofing Johannesburg.

Not always.

Some roof waterproofing problems are isolated to specific areas such as:

  • parapets,
  • outlets,
  • roof overlaps,
  • balcony junctions,
  • skylights,
  • or failed waterproofing seams.

Other roofs may require a more complete waterproofing system when the existing waterproofing has failed across larger sections of the surface.

The correct recommendation depends on the roof condition, age, drainage, and how widespread the waterproofing failure is.

The waterproofing method depends on the roof surface and the type of failure involved.

TaylorMade Waterproofing commonly works with:

  • torch-on waterproofing systems,
  • reinforced waterproof coatings,
  • Hypercrete systems,
  • acrylic waterproofing,
  • UV-resistant protective coatings,
  • and detail waterproofing systems for metal roofs, balconies, and concrete roof slabs.

TaylorMade Waterproofing works across both residential and commercial properties throughout Johannesburg and surrounding areas, including:

  • flat concrete roofs,
  • balconies,
  • tiled roof areas,
  • roof slabs,
  • metal roofs,
  • and larger waterproofing projects requiring long-term waterproof protection.
