Shield Your Home From Cape Town’s Harsh Weather
Cape Town’s winter rains, strong winds, and coastal conditions can wreak havoc on your roof, walls, and foundation. Left unchecked, water intrusion leads to damp, mould, structural decay, and escalating repair costs.
At ExteriorCare™, we specialise in waterproofing Cape Town properties using proven systems that work. From slate roofs in the Southern Suburbs to parapet walls in the CBD, we know how to stop leaks in their tracks.
Our Proven Waterproofing Process
1. Thorough Inspection: We assess all vulnerable areas: roofs, parapets, balconies, flashings, and joints.
2. Detailed Moisture Detection: Using professional tools to find hidden leaks and damp spots.
3. Surface Prep: We clean, prime, and prepare the substrate for maximum adhesion.
4. Waterproofing Application: Depending on your surface, we apply membrane systems, torch-on, or brush-on solutions for long-term protection.
5. Sealing & Finishing: We seal flashings, parapet caps, joints, and penetrations.
6. Final Report: You receive before/after images, recommendations, and a clear breakdown of work done.
Why Waterproofing is Critical in Cape Town
- Heavy Rains: Cape Town’s intense winter storms can penetrate even small cracks and expand them over time.
- Salt Air Exposure: Homes in areas like Sea Point and Hout Bay face constant salt-air erosion, which weakens waterproof barriers.
- Strong Winds: Wind-driven rain often pushes water into exposed wall caps and roof joints.
- Ageing Infrastructure: Many homes in Cape Town are decades old and weren’t built with modern waterproofing in mind.
