What is Roof Waterproofing?
Waterproofing is the treatment of a surface to prevent the passage of water under hydrostatic pressure or the process where a building component is made totally resistant to the passage of water and/or water vapor.
Our specialists are professionally trained in waterproofing which helps to prevent water from entering and is the long-term solution to prevent roof leak.
The conventional system of waterproofing involves ‘membranes’. This relies on the application of one or more layers of membrane (available in various types of materials: e.g. bitumen, silicate, PVC, HDPE, etc) that act as a barrier between the water and the building structure, preventing water ingress.
However, the membrane system relies on the perfect application, which has presented difficulties. As such, problems with the application or when the membrane does not adhere properly to the substrate can lead to leakages.
Why Do You Have to Waterproof Your Roof?
Water damage is one of the most common problems that people experience in their homes. Furthermore, the longer the water sits over time, the worse the damage becomes.
Immediately addressing water problems can often save hundreds of dollars in damage repair costs and prevention is better than cure.
How much does it cost to repair ?
* This is one of the repairs that fall under the minimum service charge category. As long as there are not many backed out nails (5-10), you can expect to pay around $300 to repair this leak.
* Pipe boot failure A boot is a type of roof flashing that goes around the base of the pipes coming out of your roof and waterproofs them. There are different kinds of boots a roofer could use, such as lead, plastic, copper, etc.
* The most common boot I see fail most frequently is a synthetic rubber neoprene pipe boot. Once it cracks over time from UV light, water will run down into a closet, kitchen, bathroom, or wherever you have the pipe coming out of your roof.

* How is the roofing leak repaired? The simplest way to repair this leak is to install a little rubber collar over the top of the old cracked neoprene pipe boot. The collar will encase the existing flange (the flat rectangular flashing that’s around the bottom of the pipe) and last you another 10-15 years.
How much does it cost to repair roofing?
*Depending on the house and type of roof you have, it could be done for a minimum service charge, around $300. If your roof is steep and hard to access, it could be up to $400 or more to repair this leak.
* Debris in gutters that stop above a roof-line under a valley A valley is where two roof slopes meet in a V-shape that allows water to flow down a roof freely. When a valley stops in the middle of a roof, it will have a gutter that runs into it so the water can continue flowing down.

* The problem is with the fascia, which is the board that runs along the lower edge of the roof that carries all the gutters. When there’s improperly installed flashing or no flashing at all applied to the fascia board, a leak will happen.
* How is the roofing leakage repaired? To repair this leak, your roofing contractor has to pop the gutter loose and install 3 pieces of flashing. The flashing is brought behind the gutter, onto the roof, and then the last piece is tucked under the valley.
* How much does it cost to repair my landed house roofing? To repair this leak you can expect to pay around $500 per gutter that goes into a roof valley. Be aware, if your roof has one gutter in the middle of a roof valley, then it’s most likely going to have more.
* Collar failure around a gas vent Gas vents are incredibly important because they make sure any carbon monoxide coming from gas appliances vents out through the roof.
* Most of the time, these vents are installed by HVAC workers who slide a collar over an unsealed pipe and flange thinking it will shed the rain right off of it. Under normal circumstances, this works.

* However, with a torrential downpour, water can splash under the collar and lead to water running down the pipe.
