What is Roof Waterproofing
-
Roof waterproofing is the process of applying waterproof materials and/or coatings to protect the roof from prolonged sun, rain, and extreme climate exposure. This ensures the roof does not develop cracks (that encourage water seepage) and prevents any porous materials from coming in contact with moisture.
-
Roof waterproofing prevents water-related damages to the roof, ceiling, adjoining walls, etc., and protects them from leakages, staining, mould growth, and more.

- Moisture mould and mildew growth,impacting indoor air quality and health.
- Roof leakage over time can compromise buildings stability requiring,potentially costly repairs.
Causes of roof leakage/seepage
-
-
- Severe weather, like heavy rain, snow, or heat, stresses roofing materials, causing leaks
- Neglecting regular roof inspections and maintenance results in the deterioration of roofing materials

- With aging, roofing materials can deteriorate, losing effectiveness and allowing leaks to develop
Why is paint not a substitute for roof waterproofing?
-
-
Paints, by themselves, do not establish a moisture/vapour barrier between the surface and its surroundings. This fails to safeguard the roof from harsh climate, humidity, and water-related damages. It further results in seepage of water, which can lead to an array of issues and, thus, repairs. Ordinary paints are also prone to damage themselves due to moisture and can start peeling and blistering over time.
Waterproofing your building before painting, is a necessary step for long-lasting solutions and to prevent any water-related damage.
