Durban Waterproofing & Roofing is honoured to be nominated once again for the Best of Ballito awards in the categories of Best Roofing Company and Best Home Improvement Contractor.

Company founder and director Charlie Brown said he was grateful for the loyal support and trust of customers, suppliers and the Ballito community. With over 20 years of hands-on industry experience, Brown has learned everything there is to know about the industry.

Here are some of his top tips to help homeowners manage their properties in the dry winter months:

1. Inspect your roof: This is the best time to identify and repair cracked tiles, worn flashings or rusted roof sheeting before the heavy rains expose the damages.

2. Check balcony and concrete roof slab drainage regularly: Inspect outlets to ensure they are free of debris to allow free flow of water and drainage. This helps prevent overflow above waterproofing thresholds, which can lead to water ingress into the property.

3. Don’t ignore early signs of damp: Peeling paint, musty smells or bubbling walls often point to waterproofing issues that need to be addressed.

Whether you have a tiled or sheeted roof, balcony or concrete roof slab, waterproofing is critical.

When done by a registered waterproofing company, it acts as a protective measure to prevent costly damage and preserve both the structure and value of your property. As always, prevention is better than the cost of repair.
