From Westcliff and Northcliff to Voëlklip and Eastcliff, and along the coast to Sandbaai, Onrus, Vermont and Fisherhaven, many Hermanus houses are built for the view: flat roofs, parapets, big windows and balconies over living space. Those are exactly the details where coastal leaks start.
A sea-facing balcony above a bedroom has to keep out wind-driven rain at the door threshold, the drain and the upstand behind the tiles. When the membrane under the tiles fails, water shows on the ceiling below, sometimes metres from where it got in.
We inspect falls, outlets, thresholds and upstands and tell you before any work starts whether tiles have to come up.
Salt-laden air corrodes flashings, fixings, gutters and balustrade bases quickly, and cracked parapet copings let water track down inside the walls. Combined with damp, salt also causes salt damp: flaking plaster and white crystals on interior walls.
We re-detail parapets and flashings, waterproof flat roofs with a system suited to the roof, and treat salt damp at its source.
We quote for individual owners, trustees and managing agents, and keep building work another trade must do separate in the written quote. If you live in Gauteng, we can check your Hermanus home, send photos and a quote, and send before-and-after photos when the work is done.
