If you're considering treatments for your roof, one of your first priorities should be waterproofing. Many people don't think about waterproofing when it comes to their roofs, but if you own a commercial property or a multi-family home, it's important. When it rains, a roof that is not waterproof will not protect your building, and that means potential water damage to the structure and whatever is inside, something that you as a property owner cannot afford.
What Is Waterproofing?
Waterproofing is a treatment that is applied to a structure to prevent the passage of water under hydrostatic pressure. In layman's terms, it makes sure that if it rains, the rain won't seep through making the inner roof and the inside of your property wet. Waterproofing is not limited to roofs, and can be applied to walls, decks and other surfaces as well. A good, complete, properly applied waterproof coating not only prevents leaks from water seeping into and through your roof, but can also reduce ambient temperature by reflecting solar radiation.
How Does Waterproofing Work?
Waterproofing simply involves adding a waterproof coating or membrane to the roof of your building. A professional roofing contractor will apply one or more roof felt plies with bitumen or modified bitumen pitch coating. When such a coating is adhered, your roof gains the water protection it needs and can enjoy other benefits as well.

More on Waterproofing
Don't delay waterproofing until it's too late. If you're not sure how well your current roof will protect you against the elements, at least have a roofer come over and take a look. Mold and water damage can cause massive headaches and expenses for your property, and it is a good idea to prevent these problems before they start. Once the water damage has worked its way into your property, no amount of waterproofing will help you – the damage will be done. Remember, prevention is almost always the best solution, and however much your waterproofing job costs, not having a waterproof roof will be costlier in the long run. |
