Waterproofing in Pretoria
Water damage usually gets worse the longer it is left, and repainting over a damp patch rarely fixes it. PRX Projects waterproofs roofs, parapet walls, window sills and walls in Pretoria East, Centurion and surrounding areas. We start by working out where the water is actually getting in, then recommend a repair that suits the surface. Waterproofing also forms part of our bathroom and building projects, where it is planned in from the start.
What we handle
- Roof waterproofing and roof coatings
- Parapet walls
- Window sills and window surrounds
- Wall waterproofing
- Wet areas in bathrooms and showers
- Preparation, membrane or coating, and junction detailing
How the project runs
- 1. Site visit. We come to you, look at the space and listen to what you want done.
- 2. Scope and itemised quote. You receive a written scope and an itemised quote, so you can see what is included.
- 3. Schedule and build. We agree a schedule and coordinate the trades in the right order while you stay informed.
- 4. Final inspection and handover. We check the finished work with you, fix any snags and hand the project over.
What to think about first
Find the source first
Water often shows up some distance from where it enters. Repairing the stain without tracing the source means the problem returns.
Preparation decides the result
A membrane or coating is only as good as the surface it goes on. Cracks, loose material and old coatings need to be dealt with first.
Junctions and edges
Corners, penetrations and roof-to-wall junctions are where waterproofing most often fails, so they get specific attention.
Frequently asked questions
Can you find where a leak is coming from?
We inspect on site to identify where water is getting in before we recommend a repair.
Will repainting stop a damp patch?
Generally not. Paint over an active leak tends to fail. The source of the water needs to be dealt with first.
Do you waterproof bathrooms?
Yes, as part of bathroom renovations and on its own where needed. See our bathroom renovations page.
