Cape Town’s diverse weather conditions pose several risks to buildings and infrastructure:
Heavy Rainfall & Water Intrusion – Winter storms can cause roof leaks, foundation erosion, and basement flooding.
Coastal Humidity & Salt Exposure – Properties near Table Bay, Bloubergstrand, and False Bay are prone to accelerated structural wear.
Rising Damp & Mold Growth – Older buildings in areas like Bo-Kaap and Observatory often struggle with moisture retention in walls.
Balcony & Terrace Leaks – Multi-story apartments in Sea Point, Camps Bay, and Milnerton require specialized waterproofing to prevent water seepage.
Roof Deterioration & UV Exposure – The summer sun causes cracks and material degradation, increasing the need for UV-stable waterproof coatings.
Residential Waterproofing – Protection against rising damp, leaks, and exterior wall deterioration.
Commercial Waterproofing – Office buildings, shopping centers, and industrial warehouses require reinforced waterproofing systems.
Roof Waterproofing – Ensuring long-term roof protection against UV rays, heavy rain, and extreme winds.
Balcony & Terrace Waterproofing – Sealing outdoor living spaces to prevent water leaks and structural damage.
Foundation & Basement Waterproofing – Safeguarding homes from ground moisture infiltration.

Applying waterproofing at the right time ensures maximum effectiveness:
Summer (November – March) – Ideal for roof and wall waterproofing, ensuring proper curing under dry conditions.
Autumn (April – May) – Perfect for foundation and basement waterproofing before winter rains.
Winter (June – August) – Best for interior waterproofing and damp-proofing walls.
Spring (September – October) – Preparing balconies, decks, and terraces for summer rainfall.
Each area in Cape Town has specific waterproofing concerns:
Atlantic Seaboard (Sea Point, Clifton, Camps Bay) – Coastal salt corrosion and balcony waterproofing.
City Bowl (Gardens, Oranjezicht, Vredehoek) – Rising damp in historic homes.
Northern Suburbs (Bellville, Durbanville, Brackenfell) – Roof protection against heat and summer storms.
Southern Suburbs (Constantia, Rondebosch, Newlands) – Humidity and rain-related wall deterioration.
West Coast (Table View, Milnerton, Bloubergstrand) – Sand and salt-resistant coatings for beachfront properties.
A luxury retail building in V&A Waterfront used Rhinoluxe Shield for long-lasting roof waterproofing. The coating provided exceptional UV resistance, preventing degradation from prolonged sun exposure.
A historic home in Constantia faced rising damp issues in its cellar and foundation walls. Megaflex was applied, eliminating water penetration and preserving the home’s structural integrity.
