FAQs:

Q: Why should I waterproof my property?

A: Waterproofing allows your roof to effectively protect your ceiling, walls, and support beams from water stains and rot.

Q: What types of roof should be waterproofed?

A: Ideally every roof should be waterproofed, especially if located in an area with frequent rain storms and humidity.  Sloped roofs can offer better drainage capabilities than flat roofs, but depending on roofing material and climate it is still a good idea to waterproof sloped roofs.

Q: Should I DIY or hire a professional?

A: Though it can be tempting to save money or avoid the insurance claim, most small fixes lead to greater damage in the long run.  Professional waterproofing is a complex operation and requires more than waterproof paint.
