Roof waterproofing is not a simple procedure that can be carried out by just anyone, and if your roof needs to be waterproofed, make sure you only ever deal with a professional company such as the roof doctor. Below are 4 reasons why a roof specialist should waterproof your roof, and nobody else:

  1. Location of the correct water entry point

 

Water seeks the quickest and easiest way down when it hits a roof, but if that particular path is blocked, it may cause the water to drip (or gush) on another downward path. Working with a reputable roofing contractor is the only way to ensure that the correct entry point is located, which will lead to the fixing of the leak.

  1. Use of specialized products

 

When you work with a qualified, professional roof waterproofing contractor, they will use a specialized waterproofing product that comes with a ten-year guarantee; any issues that may arise during that period, will be fixed free of charge. A roofing contractor that is anything less than professional, is likely to use a product that needs to be upgraded or reapplied frequently, and at extra cost to the homeowner.

  1. Cost effectiveness

 

Working with a reputable company such as the roof doctor ensures that you won’t be stung with costly repairs or re-waterproofing further down the line, as not only do the products they use come with a long-life guarantee, but they’ll be installed correctly and professionally. A roofing contractor without a good reputation and who cuts corners with poor workmanship and low-quality products, may initially charge less for their work, but will cost you more in the long term as you’ll need to make repeated use of their services over the coming years.

  1. Time saving

A professional roof waterproofing contractor will respond in a timely manner to your request, provide you with a swift, detailed estimate of the work needing to be carried out, and schedule the work to be completed at the earliest. This is not only important when it comes to repairing a leaking roof (as the cost of damage can go up by the day until the problem is fixed), but in terms of your everyday life; knowing that your roof is being taken care of frees you up to carry on with your life, without the stress and worry.

Saving money in the first instance by attempting to waterproof your roof yourself, or by hiring a low cost, non-professional roofing contractor, will ultimately cost you more money in the long run, and is never worth the rand you initially save.
