Flat Roof Waterproofing Services from F.E.W Waterproofing

Flat roofs are constantly exposed to the full effects of external weathering.

And unfortunately these roofs also can be inefficient in their ability to shed water. Flat roofs also harbour more dirt and debris at joints, details and around penetrations, such as service ducts or pipes.

These all contributes to the acceleration in the deterioration of roof membranes and waterproofing systems.

It is important to use experienced waterproofing applicators who have the experience and knowledge to select the correct products and waterproofing methodology.

The F.E.W Waterproofing team take great care inspecting all surfaces; these must be thoroughly clean prior to installing the waterproofing membrane.

A smooth, monolithic concrete surface is required for proper membrane adhesion - so all surfaces must be free of voids, spalled areas, loose aggregates, and sharp protrusions and with no coarse aggregate visible.

To ensure correct surface preparation we use high pressure washing, broom, vacuum cleaner and/or blown/compressed air to remove dust, loose stones, and debris.

After careful preparation, the concrete must be cured and dry before waterproof application can begin.

This surface was very porous so we applied a special environmentally friendly primer to reduce out gassing.

Liquid Rubber, a heavy-duty membrane, was used as the concrete needed to be protected from the effects of water, salt or chemical damage both above and below grade.

Unlike adhesive or heat (flame) applied sheet membranes, the seamless Liquid Rubber membrane prevents tracking of water underneath; providing superior protection.

Liquid Rubber membrane will not degrade in sunlight and importantly unlike old school bitumen roofing materials and require no naked flames on site.

This product provides excellent waterproofing and chemical resistance through a highly flexible seamless membrane that resists cracking and aging - 30 yrs that we know about so far.

Liquid Rubber applications include poured concrete and block foundations, retaining walls, and tunnel liners, parking deck structures, concrete water and wastewater containment tanks.
