Roof Waterproofers

How to Fix Roof Leaks

Liquid Membranes are the ideal waterproofing product to permanently seal and make watertight “busy” commercial and industrial roofs.
These roof surfaces often include penetrations, upstands, ducts, cable trays, air conditioning & cooling towers, TV & mobile phone responders, satellite dishes, solar panels etc
Liquid Membranes have the unique ability to conform to every roof configuration and seal every roof surface shape.
Spray-On Waterproofing Membranes also exhibit extreme flexibility – this capability allows for structural movement while also fully bonding directly to the substrate.

Best Waterproofing Membrane for Roofs

Liquid Applied Membranes (LAMs) are the new generation of environmentally friendly waterproofing systems.
These are hard wearing, seamless, monolithic and flexible waterproofing systems that can also be structurally reinforced.
Liquid Membranes are capable of resisting UV rays, Salts, Pollution & withstanding “potable” (standing) water.
Liquid Rubber Membranes are also anti-corrosive, rust proofing & encapsulates asbestos – ideal waterproof system for metal roofs.

Commercial Roofing Services

Satisfies all OH& S issues and compliance.
Avoids the use of adhesives, heat welding used for torch-on & older methods of waterproofing.
Suitable for safe applications even in confined spaces such as storage and processing tanks.
Unaffected by a range of acids, alkalis and water borne salts.
Great alternative to conventional epoxy, urethane or solvent based protective coatings.
Extremely fast spray application – up to 3 x times faster than conventional methods like torch-on or sheet membranes

Difference Between Types of Roof Waterproofing Products

Waterproofing membrane for roofs come come in two distinct varieties:

Liquid Applied Membranes
Sheet Membranes – Adhesive & Torch On

The differencesamongroof waterproofing materialssuchasliquid, sheet and torch-on membranes are according to their method of applications.

Liquid Roof Coatings – Liquid Rubber

Liquid applied membranes, like Liquid Rubber, can be rolled, brushed or sprayed onto the surface to create a seamless, waterproofingmembrane over the roof.

1Liquid Applied Waterproofing Systems (LAWS) offer a highly durable solution for both new buildapplications and the refurbishment of existing roof, balcony and walkway systems.
2There are many benefits which can be summarised as follows:

Fully bonded

Using Sheet & Torch On Roof Waterproofing Services

Pre-formed sheets are made off-site and installed through welding and joinery or adhesives.

Light-gauge metals are often good pre-formed sheets for adhesive metal bonding.

Waterproofing Membranes for Concrete and Metal Roofs

Best practice for waterproofing preparation for either concrete of metal roofs, is to determine theslope forof the roof.
High slope would mean fast flow of rainwater.
Low slope would mean low speed flow of water. Water may stagnateatlow slope and flat roofsduring heavy rains.

Waterproofing Repairs to Flat Concrete Roof

Roofs – Concrete & Metal– High wind pressures can cause damage tothe waterproofing membrane.
Chemical compounds may be used for removal of the damaged membrane.
Restoration to its original installation shall be the aim of any contractor.
For concrete roofs that require remedial waterproofing works, substantail amount of preparation work is often required.
Damaged areas of the existing roof waterproofing may need to be cut,scrape and grind by power grinding machines.
Cracks in the surface of the concrete roof must be sealed by approved sealing compounds rior to application of a roof coating.

Metal Roof Repairs

Metal roofs will experience acyclic pressure movement of up and downdirection.Common problems may arise on the lap joints.For metal remedial works, manual removal of damaged membrane must be done.
