Balcony & Parapet Waterproofing in Johannesburg
Leaking balconies, cracked parapet copings, planters and retaining walls sealed properly — for homes, complexes and body corporates.
Balconies, parapet walls and planters are where most hidden leaks start — water gets in at the edges and copings and shows up as damp on the walls and ceilings below. PAQ Man seals these problem areas properly across Johannesburg.
Common problems we fix
- Leaking balconies causing ceiling stains in the room below
- Cracked parapet copings letting water into the walls
- Failed sealant at balcony door thresholds and balustrades
- Planters and flower boxes soaking through to the structure
- Retaining walls pushing damp into rooms and garages
How we waterproof balconies and parapets
We use a torch-on membrane system with proper detailing at every edge, upstand, drain and joint. On tiled balconies we inspect the tiles and screed first and tell you honestly what needs to be done.
How we work
- Free inspection to trace where the water enters
- Remove failed sealants and repair cracks
- Waterproof upstands, copings, outlets and thresholds
- Apply the waterproofing system to the full area
- Final check and guarantee on workmanship
Frequently asked questions
Do you have to remove the tiles to waterproof a balcony?
It depends on the condition of the tiles and screed. If they're loose or the screed is failing, they need to come up so the balcony can be waterproofed properly. We'll tell you honestly after the free inspection.
Why is the wall below my parapet damp?
Usually water is getting in through cracked copings or the top of the parapet and running down inside the wall. Sealing the coping and parapet normally solves it.
Do you work in complexes and estates?
Yes — we regularly work for homeowners, body corporates and managing agents in Fourways, Sandton, Randburg and surrounds.
