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.

 

This is a solarium that has recently been done in San Miguel de Salinas. The area was covered in cheap caucho red paint which is a typical short-term solution here in Spain. The problem with this material is that it cracks in hot weather, especially in between the tile joints because it’s non-flexible. But with Leak Proof’s product, which is flexible, you can cover tiled areas and it will never crack.

 

There were a few areas covered in cheap roofing felt as well, which had also deteriorated due to the heat. There were puddles on the roof after rainfall as the levels were wrong in places, which is a big problem as it causes the water to sit and have more time to soak through the cracked areas. It then trickles through the grout below, as grout is a very porous material, then through to the original membrane which is also likely to be damaged thanks to cheap roofing felt and extreme temperatures.

 

A cheap membrane will easily crack in a short period of time in the Spanish weather, so the best solution is Leak Proof’s polyurethane systems, giving you the best protection against the elements and a guaranteed leakproof surface.
