Flat Roof and Balcony Waterproofing in Kyalami Estate
Balcony torch on membrane, flat roof servicing with a UV resistant silver coating, and breather pipe waterproofing at a Kyalami Estate property.
Location
Kyalami Estate, Gauteng
Completed
September 30, 2026
Service
Flat Roof Waterproofing
Roof type
Flat Roof
Roof size
36 m²
Original problem
Ageing torch on flat roof waterproofing exposed to UV, plus a balcony needing a new waterproofing membrane
Property type
Residential Estate
Area covered
12 m² balcony, 36 m² roof
Materials used
4 mm torch on membrane, primer, bituminous aluminium UV resistant silver coating
The problems
1. Balcony waterproofing requiring attention
The balcony floor required a new waterproofing membrane system. Without adequate waterproofing, exposed balcony surfaces can allow rainwater to penetrate through joints, cracks and other vulnerable areas, potentially affecting the underlying structure.
2. Ageing flat roof waterproofing
The existing torch on waterproofing system required servicing and additional surface protection. Over time, exposure to sunlight, temperature changes and weather conditions can contribute to deterioration of waterproofing membranes. This can increase the risk of cracking, surface degradation and eventual water penetration.
3. Roof waterproofing exposed to UV damage
The existing waterproofing required a UV resistant protective coating. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation can accelerate the deterioration of exposed bituminous waterproofing materials, potentially reducing their effectiveness and service life.
4. Vulnerable roof plumbing penetration
The sewage breather pipe passing through the roof required waterproofing attention. Roof penetrations are particularly vulnerable to water ingress where the pipe meets the surrounding waterproofing system. Inadequate sealing around these areas can create potential entry points for rainwater.
How ITACORP addressed the requirements
The specified waterproofing work covered several areas of the property:
- Balcony waterproofing: Surface priming and installation of a 4 mm torch on waterproofing membrane across approximately 12 m² of balcony floor.
- Existing roof waterproofing: Servicing approximately 36 m² of existing torch on waterproofing and applying a bituminous aluminium UV resistant silver coating.
- Roof penetration waterproofing: Waterproofing treatment around the sewage breather pipe, followed by matching paint to make good the affected area.
- Surface preparation: High pressure washing of the flat roof before waterproofing maintenance, together with rubble removal.
