Liquid rubber waterproofing application

Jointless, Flexible Protection for Knysna Flat Roofs & Balconies

Knysna properties—especially those overlooking the lagoon or perched along The Heads and coastal cliffs—face relentless moisture, heavy winter rainfall, and high humidity that quickly compromise traditional torch-on seams.

At The Restorers, our liquid rubber waterproofing creates a single, continuous rubber membrane with up to 300% elasticity. Because it cures without seams, laps, or screws, it permanently seals flat concrete roofs, tiled balconies, box gutters, and parapet wall cracks without failure.

Engineered for Leisure Isle, The Heads, Simola & Pezula Homes

Whether you need to seal an exposed deck slab in Pezula, waterproof a flat parapet roof on Leisure Isle, or stop recurring damp in Brenton-on-Sea and Belvidere, our liquid rubber formulation bonds directly to concrete, timber, metal, and existing bitumen substrates, curing into an impermeable, UV-stable shield.

100% Jointless Seal: No seams, laps, or joints means there are no weak points for water to penetrate, even in standing pools.

300% Elastic Flexibility: The elastomeric formula expands and contracts dynamically with thermal shifts, preventing cracks and leaks.

High Coastal Adhesion: Bonds strongly to concrete, metal, wood, and old torch-on membranes, ideal for retrofits and new builds.

Our Waterproofing Process

Our systematic application ensures maximum adhesion and a perfect, uniform dry film thickness.

01

Substrate Preparation

We grind concrete or scrape old layers, wash the surface, and ensure it is completely dry and structurally sound before applying the base layer.

02

Detail Reinforcement

We apply geo-textile membrane strips embedded in liquid rubber along all corners, parapets, expansion joints, and outlets.

03

First Fluid Application

We apply a thick primer and base coat of liquid rubber to seal micro-pores and create a uniform surface.

04

Multiple Build Coats

We lay down successive build coats to ensure a minimum thickness of 1.5mm, finishing with a UV-stable protective topcoat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about our services in Knysna? Here are answers to some of the common inquiries we receive.

Why is liquid rubber better than torch-on felt in Knysna's coastal climate? ↓

Torch-on felt relies on heat-welded seams that deteriorate under Knysna's salt air and thermal expansion. Liquid rubber is a monolithic, 100% joint-free liquid application that expands and contracts dynamically with the building without peeling or cracking.

Can liquid rubber be applied over existing failing waterproofing? ↓

Yes. After thorough pressure washing, concrete grinding, and surface preparation, liquid rubber adheres tenaciously over aged torch-on membranes, fibre-cement, wood, and concrete slabs, saving costly tear-off expenses.

How long does liquid rubber waterproofing last in Knysna? ↓

When properly applied to the correct dry film thickness with geotextile membrane reinforcement at joints, our liquid rubber systems provide 10 to 15+ years of maintenance-free service.
