Torch-On Waterproofing Somerset West | Roofs, Slabs, Concrete Surfaces & Leak Repairs

Mshankwe Investments provides torch-on waterproofing in Somerset West for residential, commercial, and body corporate properties. We use Index torch-on membrane to seal flat roofs, roof slabs, and exposed concrete surfaces against water leaks.

Our process starts with an on-site roof assessment to identify the leak source before we quote. We remove failed membrane, allow the concrete to dry, apply Index primer, and heat-bond the new membrane to the slab.

We finish the membrane with silver reflective paint for UV and heat protection. Small leaks can be patched where the damage is isolated, while larger failures can receive a full membrane replacement.

Why Choose Mshankwe for Strand Concrete Plaster Repair?

A Clear Leak Assessment

We assess the leak before we quote the work. Our team identifies where the water is entering and checks whether the problem needs a small membrane repair or a full index roll replacement. You receive a written quote, usually within 24 hours, with no charge for the assessment.

The Right Repair For The Leak

Not every leak needs a full waterproofing replacement. We patch isolated damage where possible. When the existing index roll or membrane has failed across a larger area, we remove the old membrane and install a new Index torch-on membrane.

A Step-By-Step Installation

We remove the failed index roll or membrane down to the concrete slab. We let the slab dry for a day before applying Index primer. We then torch on the new Index membrane and finish it with silver reflective paint. A full installation takes 3 to 4 days, including the drying period.

Our Torch-On Waterproofing Services
in Somerset West Strand

We install Index torch-on on flat roofs where water leaks through the slab. We first assess the roof to find the leak source. Where the existing roll has failed, we remove it down to the concrete slab before installing the new membrane.

Flat Roof Waterproofing

Waterproof concrete roof slabs with Index primer and Index torch-on. After removing the old roll, we allow the concrete to dry for one day before applying the primer. We then heat-bond the new membrane to the prepared slab.

Roof Slab Waterproofing

We use membrane to patch isolated leak that is limited to a specific section. We assess the damaged area first and determine whether a local repair can address the problem without replacing the full membrane

Small Leak Repairs

We replace failed waterproofing where the existing membrane has deteriorated across a larger area. We scrape off the old membrane, prepare the concrete slab, apply Index primer, and install the new Index torch-on membrane.

About Our Torch-on Waterproofing in Somerset West

At Mshankwe Investments, we provide torch-on waterproofing for residential, commercial, and body corporate properties. A leaking roof can allow water into flat roofs, roof slabs, and exposed concrete surfaces. The wrong repair can leave the leak unresolved and lead to more waterproofing work later. We understand this concern, which is why we assess the roof before quoting and identify the actual source of the leak.

Here’s how we do it:
1. Request a free roof assessment
2. Receive a written quote
3. Prepare the concrete slab
4. Install the Index torch-on membrane

We use Index primer and an Index torch-on roll to seal the prepared surface against water leaks. We also finish the index roll with silver reflective paint after installation.

Concrete Plaster Repair in Strand FAQs

1. How long does torch-on waterproofing take?

A membrane-only repair takes 1 to 2 days. A full Index roll installation takes 3 to 4 days, including the drying period.

2. What happens after the new membrane is installed?

We finish the Index roll or membrane with silver reflective paint. This helps protect the membrane from UV exposure and heat.

3. Do you patch small roof leaks?

Yes. We patch isolated damage where the leak is limited to a specific area. Larger waterproofing failures can require a full membrane replacement.

4. Do you provide a warranty?

Index roll torch-on membrane has a manufacturer's product warranty. We confirm the exact warranty terms for the specific product and job when we quote.

5. How much does torch-on waterproofing cost?

The cost depends on the roof size and extent of the damage. One documented 10-metre leaking slab in Sitari, Helderberg cost roughly R8,000 to R13,000 and took 3 days.
