Common problems
Waterproofing problems we see most often in Randburg.
Tile roof leaks at ridges and valleys
Much of Randburg's older housing stock has concrete tile roofs where the original mortar bedding on ridges and hips has cracked and lifted. Valleys collect leaves from the area's mature trees, water backs up under the tiles and shows as ceiling stains a metre or more away from the actual entry point.
Townhouse complex roof issues
Randburg has a high density of sectional-title complexes built through the 1990s and 2000s. Leaks usually appear along shared party walls, box gutters and unit-to-unit flashings, which means the repair has to be scoped for the block rather than the single unit that reported the damp.
Balcony leaks over living areas
Tiled first-floor balconies and terraces above lounges and garages are common in Fontainebleau, Ferndale and Olivedale. Once the screed below the tiles cracks or the outlet blocks, water tracks through the slab and appears in the ceiling below, often long after the rain stopped.
Flat extensions and patio roofs
Many Randburg homes have been extended with flat concrete slabs, covered patios and converted garages. These low-fall sections pond water, and the original torch-on membrane is frequently past its service life with open laps, blistering and failed upstands at the parapet.

Common questions
Randburg waterproofing FAQs.
Do you cover Randburg?+
Yes. DryTek is based in Bedfordview and Randburg falls inside our regular Johannesburg service area, along with Northcliff, Linden, Cresta, Ferndale and the surrounding suburbs. We travel to Randburg for on-site inspections at no charge.
Do you work with body corporates and managing agents?+
Regularly. A large share of our Randburg work is sectional-title. We inspect the affected units and the shared roof or balcony areas, provide a written scope and quote suitable for trustee or agent approval, and arrange access with residents before work starts.
How do you find where a leak is actually coming from?+
Water rarely enters where the stain appears. We inspect the roof, gutters, flashings, penetrations and the ceiling void, and where needed run controlled water tests to confirm the entry point. You get a clear explanation of the cause before we recommend a system, so you are not paying to seal the wrong area.
How long does tile roof waterproofing last?+
The lifespan of waterproofing depends on the system used, the condition of the surface, weather exposure and the quality of the original application. Properly prepared and applied waterproofing can provide many years of protection, but different roofs, balconies and other surfaces have different maintenance and renewal requirements. Regular inspections help identify deterioration early and extend the life of the waterproofing system.
Do you take a deposit before quoting?+
No. Inspections and quotes are free and there is no deposit to get one. You can also WhatsApp photos and rough measurements for a preliminary estimate, which is then confirmed by a final on-site measurement before any work is booked.
