Everything you need to know about waterproofing your home
Every South African homeowner can avoid lots of problems by waterproofing their homes.
We have a carport but want to change the frames because it's rusting. Need to install and build a built in braai which will form part of the entertainment area. We also want to add to that and make another room. The carports had plans years back but not sure if it is approved (but it is installed). Plans could be at Athlone Department. Everything else needs plans. Currently have a braai but needs to be broken down. Artificial grass to also be installed by the entertainment area.
One Layer "Derbigum" or other equally approved SP4 waterproofing membrane sealed to solvent based bitumen primed surface by means of torch fusion with minimum mm side laps and minimum mm end laps 1. On slabs m2 2. On turn-up, turn-down not exceeding mm girth 6 m2
The project consists of two parts. The first is a garage attached to the house with a garage door. The second part is a boundary wall and gate. We need the current structure dismantled and a new wall erected. The gate will have a small pedestrian gate attached to it and it will be a sliding gate. The attached pictures show the design we are going for.
The property is a residential complex. The outside walls, some roofs and walkways need painting. Best would be if a contractor could view the property before quoting. As I do not always have my phone with me I would appreciate a WhatsApp. A contractor has started the job but then ran off with the money without doing most of the work.
