Flat Roof Re-Torch-On Waterproofing at Kyalami Residential Property
An ageing flat roof waterproofing system was causing persistent leaks and poor drainage. RAB Group completed a full re-torch-on waterproofing solution, restoring long-term protection, improving water flow, and ensuring the property remains protected against Johannesburg’s demanding weather conditions.
The existing waterproofing membrane had reached the end of its lifespan, allowing water to penetrate the roof during heavy rainfall. Blocked rainwater outlets and a deteriorated box gutter further increased the risk of water damage and structural deterioration.
Our team removed the failed waterproofing system, repaired and waterproofed all drainage outlets, restored the box gutter, and installed a new premium torch-on waterproofing membrane. The result is a durable, weather-resistant roofing system designed to provide reliable protection and peace of mind for years to come.
Project Approach
Every successful waterproofing project starts with understanding the root cause of the problem rather than simply covering the visible damage. Our objective was to provide a long-term waterproofing solution that would eliminate leaks, improve drainage, and restore the roof’s ability to withstand Johannesburg’s changing weather conditions.
Following a detailed roof inspection, our team carefully removed the failed torch-on waterproofing membrane and prepared the concrete roof for a complete waterproofing upgrade. We cleared blocked rainwater outlets, repaired and waterproofed each outlet, restored the damaged box gutter, and ensured water could flow freely away from the roof.
The new premium torch-on waterproofing system was professionally installed with careful attention to every joint, flashing, outlet, and edge detail. By combining quality materials with skilled workmanship, we delivered a durable waterproofing solution designed to provide reliable protection and long-term peace of mind for the homeowner.
Key Features
This project demonstrates how a professionally installed torch-on waterproofing system can restore the performance of an ageing flat roof. By resolving drainage issues, repairing the box gutter, and installing a new waterproofing membrane, RAB Group delivered a durable solution that protects the property from water damage while reducing future maintenance requirements.
The completed re-torch-on waterproofing project delivers far more than a leak-free roof – it restores the property’s ability to withstand heavy rainfall while extending the lifespan of the flat roof.
