In construction, a building or structure is waterproofed with the use of membranes to protect contents underneath or within as well as protecting structural integrity. The waterproofing of construction specifications includes roofing material as well as waterproofing materials. Waterproofing is used in reference to building structures (basements, decks, flat roofs, wet areas, etc.)
We specialize in the following types of waterproofing:
:: Leaking Roofs
:: Damaged Roofs
:: Sagging Roofs
:: Flat Roofs
:: Flashings
:: Gutters
Bituminous roofing products are perfect for the waterproofing of roofs on buildings as they move with the structure as they are not too rigid, and they do not absorb water. Bitumen is a hydrocarbon and is created naturally from crude oil. It is a useful carbon store and does not generate greenhouse gases. The membranes are therefore a sustainable way of storing carbon on the Earth's surface.
Gutters
A gutter is a trough fixed under or along the eaves for draining rainwater from a roof. It's purpose is to redirect water away from the roof, preferably into a drain. Gutters vary in size and shape, depending on the gradient and area of your roof. If your gutter's are too small for your roof, they will not handle a heavy downpour of rain and depending on their layout, could flood your home or cause serious damage to your roof timber and trusses. If your gutter's are installed incorrectly, they will retain water. You might find Mosquitoes and other insects nesting in the water after the rain has passed.
