How the Leak Proof experts fixed and waterproofed a solarium in Quesada
This rooftop terrace in Rojales was cracked and peeling and the house was in danger of flooding… here’s how they fixed it
Leak Proof are Spain’s leading Waterproofing Company, specialising in flat roof problems. They have over 30 years’ experience in the industry, giving you a guaranteed leakproof surface on completion.
Recently, the team at Leak Proof were called in to repair and Waterproof a rooftop terrace in Quesada, Alicante which required all their skills and experience to undo the shoddy work done by the previous workmen just a couple of years before.
This solarium in Quesada was covered in a blue paint which had obviously been used as some sort of temporary Waterproofing system in the past as it was cracked and peeling up in places, very similar to the red Goucho paint used on a lot of properties in Spain.
From experience, Leak Proof knows that these cheap systems never last more than a couple of years and will end up costing you more in the long run, especially if they are not applied by professionals that work with Waterproofing products on a daily basis.
Leak Proof have been Waterproofing roofs in the Costa Blanca and the Costa Cálida area for more than ten years, and have three times as much experience overall. So they know what they’re talking about.
For the Quesada job, Leak Proof had to use their Husqvarna concrete grinder to remove all of the paint and then go over the surface again to rough up the tiles underneath, as this gives the product a better surface to bond to. It also helps to remove all the glaze off the tiles, ensuring the best possible finish.
After that, they had to perform a thorough cleanup of the area, including hovering and mopping the whole solarium, before applying primer. After that came two coats of polyurethane, followed by a top coat protector to finish off, protecting the roof from fading and scratches.
