Balcony & Terrace Waterproofing

BALCONY, DECK & TERRACE WATERPROOFING

We’re proud to offer a leading service for deck, courtyard, terrace and balcony waterproofing to Cape Town homeowners wanting peace of mind on their investment.

Balcony deck waterproofing by a skilled Cape Town professional is essential to preventing expensive damage to your house because many balconies are located over livable rooms or garages. When considering someone for this service, it is vital you choose a contractor who can do the job right the first time, as coming back to repair faulty works at a later date will be very expensive.

It is important to have your waterproofed balcony built in compliance with all the relevant South African Building Codes and Standards. Drainage, correct set-downs, substrates and falls play a major part not just in the construction of the balcony but also in the success of the chosen balcony deck waterproofing system. There are also certain substrates and waterproofing products that will break down when exposed to the elements and should therefore not be used outside.

Our expert balcony waterproofing will raise the value of your home.

The Importance Of Balcony Waterproofing

Structural Integrity:

Beyond immediate visible damages, consistent water infiltration can significantly undermine the balcony’s structural components. This deterioration leads to issues like cracks, spalling, and, in grave scenarios, structural failure. This can be dangerous, especially in high-rise buildings.

Aesthetics:

A balcony is not just a functional space; it’s an aesthetic one. Water damage can result in unsightly stains, discolouration, and even algae or moss growth. Over time, this detracts from the building’s overall appeal and can reduce its market value.

Durability:

By keeping water and moisture at bay, waterproofing solutions can effectively enhance the balcony’s durability. This results in fewer repairs and a longer lifespan for the balcony’s materials, whether it’s concrete, wood, or tile.

Safety and Health:

Beyond the evident slip hazards from water pooling, a damp environment is a breeding ground for mold and mildew. These can cause respiratory issues and allergies. By ensuring a dry balcony, you’re also ensuring a safer space for residents.
