Roof Waterproofing

What is roof waterproofing

Rain, water exposure, changing climate, etc., can affect the roof adversely, resulting in a need for waterproofing.
Roof waterproofing is the process of applying water resistant coating/chemicals to the roof or terrace to protect it from cracks and leakages due to prolonged sun and water exposure and extreme climate. It forms a protective layer on the roof preventing water from percolating into cracks while also preventing damage to the roof, ceiling leakages, and several water-related issues.

Know Your Roof

Damages due to inadequate roof/terrace waterproofing


  • Water can infiltrate the house, causing damage to walls, ceilings, and interior spaces
  • Over time, water penetration can affect the house adversely
  • Water leakage from the roof or terrace can result in staining, sagging, or even the collapse of ceilings
  • Leakages can cause paint to peel, blister, or bubble, damaging the aesthetic appeal of the house
  • Water infiltration can lead to electrical hazards, including short circuits and other safety risks
  • Moist conditions due to inadequate waterproofing can attract pests and also promote mould and mildew growth

Why waterproof the roof during new house construction?

Roof waterproofing solutions are necessary during new home construction as they -

  • Shield against water-related damages for lasting strength and aesthetics
  • Preserve interior spaces and ceilings from dampness and mould growth
  • Protect items, including electrical components and furniture, from damp walls or roof leakage
  • Lower maintenance costs by preventing the need for frequent repairs
  • Enhance longevity, safety, and value of the new house

Why is painting a roof not equal to roof waterproofing?

Paint alone cannot effectively waterproof a roof as it’s not designed to withstand the constant exposure to water, UV rays, temperature fluctuations, and physical wear and tear that a roof endures. In fact, constant exposure to water can cause issues like peeling of paint and stains.


While paint may offer temporary protection, it lacks the durability and specialised properties required for long-term waterproofing.


Implementing proper waterproofing techniques involves using specialised materials and methods tailored to the specific requirements of roofing systems and their exposure to water. This ensures a robust barrier against moisture infiltration and maintains the stability and aesthetics of a house. In addition to these, regular maintenance of the roof provides additional safety from wear and tear and water-related damages.
