How is waterproofing priced in Lagos?

Waterproofing is always quoted after inspection because the scope depends on the surface type, extent of damage, and product required. All jobs are priced on-site before any work begins.

My flat roof leaks every rainy season, will waterproofing fix it permanently?

Yes, if the root cause is addressed properly. Flat roof leaks are almost always caused by membrane failure, ponding water, or poorly sealed penetrations. A properly applied crystalline or torch-on bitumen membrane will stop the leak and last 10-15 years with basic maintenance.

What causes damp walls during Lagos rainy season?

Most Lagos wall dampness during rainy season comes from: cracked external render letting rainwater penetrate porous blocks, failed roof-to-wall junctions, overflowing gutters dumping water against walls, and rising damp from saturated soil. Our waterproofing specialists identify the specific cause before recommending treatment.

Should I waterproof before or after rainy season?

Before, ideally in March to May. Waterproofing a wet surface during heavy rain is impossible and ineffective. Surfaces must be dry for proper bonding. If your roof or walls are already leaking, get an emergency diagnosis now and schedule full waterproofing once conditions allow.

How long does waterproofing treatment last in Lagos?

Quality waterproofing treatment lasts 8-15 years depending on the product and surface preparation. Crystalline treatments that bond into the concrete substrate last longest. Annual inspection and touching up of vulnerable joints extends effective life significantly.
