The rain has gone: Why now is the best time to waterproof your home

ARCHIVED ARTICLE -

Flat roof surfaces that need to be waterproofed must be 100% dry for the products to work

It looks like the rain has gone for good and the hot summer weather is finally here to stay. The last thing many homeowners are thinking about now is waterproofing their villas, apartment buildings and businesses to prevent against leakage and flooding.

Yet this is precisely when it’s best to have the flat roof or surface of your Spanish property waterproofed, according to the experts.

“This is exactly the right time to get your flat roof done, while the weather is warm and dry before the rain starts up again after summer,” said Joe Clarke from Leak Proof, a company with over a decade of experience waterproofing flat surfaces like roofs and terraces on the Costa Cálida and Costa Blanca.

He continued: “This is because we need everything to be completely dry for the products to work. There are only two months left before we head towards September again, where the weather can change drastically and the rain can start again at a moment’s notice.”

The torrential and sometimes sudden downpours have already caused excessive damage this spring in Murcia, and the arrival of the good weather for July and August represent the perfect opportunity for preparing your property for the autumn, which meteorologists are expecting to be wetter than usual.

All kinds of properties and roofs are catered for, whether they are old or new and whether the work required is on a complete roof or only on a specific area. Flat roofs are typical causes for concern regarding leaks, for example on extensions and garages, and the specialist knowledge and techniques used by Leak Proof are also applicable to fibreglass roofing, conservatories, covered passageways and even classic old “finca”-style properties with tiling issues.
