Your terrace or roof is the most externally exposed area which faces harsh weather conditions. This includes not only heavy rains but also scorching summers and shivering winters. Such climatic changes usually lead to thermal expansions in the ceiling of your home and may cause water seepage. Surface weakened over time ultimately results in more damage. This is why you need to apply waterproofing solutions over a certain period.
There are several areas on the terrace that need to be taken care of while waterproofing them. Such areas include pipes that come through parapet wall or the roof, small canals for cables and electric wires, thresholds of the terrace door, water tank corners, and so on. Besides, rainwater drain outlets coming out of the terrace, must be of the proper size and made available all around the roof. Get in touch with a Dr. Fixit expert to assess the best solution for waterproofing your roof.
You need to clean drain outlets and pipes on time, coming from the terrace. Besides, they also need a proper slope, at least 1:100.

Furthermore, two coats of UV resistant Dr. Fixit Newcoat Ezee can be used for roof waterproofing.
