Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between rising damp and penetrating damp?
Rising damp comes up from the ground through walls; penetrating damp comes in through roofs, balconies and cracked walls. Each needs a different treatment, which is why we diagnose the true source before quoting.
When is the best time to waterproof?
Before the rainy season, while surfaces are dry and products can cure properly. In Bloemfontein that means late winter and spring are ideal.
How long does waterproofing last?
A properly applied system on a well-prepared surface typically lasts 5–10 years or more depending on the product and exposure. Preparation is what makes the difference, and it's where we don't cut corners.
Can you fix damp that keeps coming back?
Yes. Recurring damp almost always means the original repair treated the symptom, not the source. We find and fix the cause.
Do you waterproof showers and bathrooms?
Yes, wet-area waterproofing before tiling is one of the most important (and most skipped) steps in a bathroom renovation. We do it as standard.
