An Improvement on Traditional Systems

An improvement on roofing felt, asphalt, Bitumen and other liquid coatings! The EcoProof system requires No Flames, Solvents or Primers and has no joints and has excellent Eco-Friendly credentials. A cost effective alternative to re-roofing and ideal for underground waterproofing.

Spray Applied Or Roller Applied

Depending on size and design of the project EcoProof can be Spray Applied (surface cures instantly) or Brush and Roller applied (surface cures within 4 hours depending on weather) With the ability to cover up to 800 SQ/M per day with our spray grade system and waterproof all the intricate detailing with the Brush and Roller Grade System, EcoProof can provide the solution to your problems.

Minimal Disruption To Building Operations

EcoProof has been installed on several high profile SA projects. EcoProof significantly reduces labour times meaning time on site is significantly reduced resulting in minimal disruption to your operations.

Industrial roof waterproofing without the downtime

For a factory, warehouse or processing plant, a leaking roof is more than an inconvenience. Water damages stock and equipment, creates slip hazards and can shut down production lines. But replacing a large industrial roof is expensive and disruptive, often requiring stock to be moved and parts of the building to be cleared.

EcoProof offers a different route. The system is spray-applied directly over the existing roof, covering up to 800 m² a day, and the surface cures almost instantly. It needs no flames, solvents or primers, so there is no hot work permit headache and no fumes drifting into the building. In most cases production carries on as normal underneath while we work.

The result is one continuous, fully bonded membrane over the whole roof, including laps, fixings, skylight upstands, ridge caps and gutters, which are exactly the places industrial roofs fail.

Industrial roof types we waterproof

Corrugated roofs: quick, cost-effective and able to accommodate roof movement
IBR and metal roofs: sealing rusted laps, screw penetrations and fixings
Flat concrete roofs and slabs, including plant decks
Asbestos cement roofs: encapsulation instead of removal
Complex roofs with valleys, parapets, plant rooms and many penetrations
Box gutters and valley gutters that overflow or leak at the joints

Planning the work around your operation

Large roofs can be phased section by section, and work scheduled around shifts, deliveries and shutdown windows. We inspect the whole roof first, identify where it is failing and what condition the sheeting is in, and give you a written specification and quote.

We work on industrial sites across Gauteng, including Germiston, Boksburg, Springs, Benoni and Brakpan. See Germiston and Springs.

Signs your industrial roof needs attention

Drips or wet patches on the floor, racking or stock after rain
Rust streaks along sheet laps, at fixings or around skylights
Gutters that overflow into the building during heavy storms
Daylight visible through fixings or laps from inside
Old patches, sealant strips or bitumen repairs that have cracked or lifted
Asbestos sheeting that is weathered, mossy or cracking at the edges

Catching these early is far cheaper than dealing with damaged stock, corroded structure or a full re-roof. The dry winter months are the best time to plan industrial roof work, before Gauteng’s summer storm season. See the best time to waterproof your roof.

What you get with our quote

After inspecting the roof we provide a written quote setting out the areas that need attention, the system and preparation recommended, any sheets that must be replaced, and a realistic programme for the work.

Industrial roof waterproofing: common questions

Do we have to stop production while the roof is waterproofed?

In most cases, no. The work is done from the roof, needs no flames, and the spray grade cures almost immediately, so operations can usually continue underneath.

How fast can a large roof be done?

The spray grade covers up to 800 m² a day. The total time depends on the size of the roof, the amount of preparation and the detailing required, and we give you a realistic programme with your quote.

Is waterproofing cheaper than replacing the roof?

Usually, yes, as long as the roof structure and most of the sheeting are sound. You avoid the cost of new sheeting, removal and the disruption of a re-roof.

Can corroded IBR sheets be waterproofed?

Surface rust, laps and fixings can be treated and sealed. Sheets that are rusted through or structurally weak must be replaced first, and we will identify those during the inspection.

Can you encapsulate an asbestos factory roof?

Yes, if it is structurally sound and not friable. A single-coat, spray-applied membrane seals the surface and protects it against further degradation. See asbestos encapsulation.
