Why water gets in

Waterproofing on the coast, diagnosis first

On the coast, water gets in where you least expect it: an open expansion joint, a badly finished drain, an old membrane under the terrace paving. We have been fixing leaks between Sotogrande and Estepona for more than 15 years, and the source is almost never where the stain appears.

That is why the work starts by finding the source, not by covering up what you can see. We go up onto the terrace or the roof, check the drains, joints and the junctions with the walls, and only then tell you which system it needs.

Before closing up we carry out a flood test, and you receive a fixed quote in writing within 48-72 working hours.

What is included

How we waterproof

A leak is almost never where the stain appears. That is why the work starts by finding the source, not by covering up what you can see.

  • Diagnosis of where the leak comes from
  • Lifting the paving when necessary
  • Repairing and preparing the substrate
  • Creating falls where there are none
  • Waterproof membrane or polyurethane
  • Reinforcing drains, joints and junctions
  • Flood test before closing up
  • New paving over the membrane

By area

Typical leaks in each area

Estepona, Manilva and Sotogrande are only a few kilometres apart, but their homes do not get wet in the same way.

Estepona: terraces on flats and penthouses

In town-centre blocks and penthouses, leaks usually come from terraces with the original membrane, laid decades ago.

What usually fails

Ageing membranes under the paving, unreinforced drains and open expansion joints.

What we do

Find the exact spot and decide whether the paving has to come up or whether it can be solved without lifting it.

Manilva and Sabinillas: frontline properties

In apartments by the sea, the westerly wind drives the rain against façades and terraces.

What usually fails

The junction between terrace and façade, the window and door frames, and parapets exposed to the wind.

What we do

We seal the junctions and waterproof the terrace with upstands that run up the façade.

Sotogrande: roofs, porches and gardens

Villas have large roofs, porches and planters on concrete slabs, with the irrigation very close to the walls.

What usually fails

Large flat roofs, planters with no waterproofing and walls that take water from the irrigation.

What we do

We waterproof roofs and planters, and protect the walls in contact with the garden.

When to waterproof

Ideally before the autumn rains, in dry weather.

Why

Membranes and liquid systems need dry weather to be laid and to cure properly.

If it is already leaking

We can act at any time of year: first we stop the water getting in, then we repair the damage.

Frequently asked questions

What you ask us most

Not honestly. The cost depends on the condition of the substrate under the paving, and that can only be seen at the visit. The visit and the quote are free.

It depends. If the paving is well bedded and the problem is in the joints or drains, it can sometimes be solved without lifting it. If the membrane underneath is broken, we have to get to it.

A medium-sized terrace usually takes between one and two weeks, allowing for each coat to dry. The exact timing goes in the quote.

Top-quality membranes and sheets, chosen to suit the substrate: a walkable roof is not the same as a terrace with tiles on top. The quote tells you in writing which one your job needs.

Yes. As well as terraces and roofs, we treat façades with damp from water ingress.

Yes, along the whole stretch from Sotogrande to Cancelada: Estepona, Manilva, Sabinillas, Casares and Sotogrande. The visit to see the leak is the same day or the next.

Before the autumn rains and in dry weather, which is when membranes and liquid systems are best laid and cured. If it is already leaking, we act as soon as we can.

Where we work
