Types of Waterproofing

For some time now, one of the most used materials for waterproofing is “chlorine rubber” which, in addition, has the advantage of its ease of installation and, above all, it is relatively inexpensive, although it has the counterpart that it does not it is durable.
 
Another widely used system is that of " bituminous slats ", this system of sheets resists the elements very well, they adapt perfectly to the surface regardless of its shape. Of course, we remember that if you need to waterproof the roof of your home in Valladolid, the application should only be carried out by a professional waterproofing company.
 
A third system would be that of " liquid membranes” With a polyurethane base. It is a durable system, not like “chlorine rubber” and weather resistant like “bituminous slats”, it also adapts to all types of surfaces and shapes, having a high ease of application. All this makes it one of the best materials for waterproofing.
 
We have only made a presentation here of the main waterproofing methods , but there are many others, such as asphalt fabrics (perhaps the most used), PVC sheets, bituminous slats, liquid membranes, etc. They are the usual ones and the installation must be adapted to the characteristics of the roof, and the needs of each case.

Advantages of Waterproofing a Roof or Terrace

An added advantage of a good waterproofing system is the thermal, cold and heat insulation that it carries. Before waterproofing, we

Whenever you detect water leaks in your home, you should think about making a good waterproofing and thermal insulation of the roof. A comprehensive reform of the roof is necessary to avoid humidity, leaks, detachments and damage, which will always get worse over time and, each time, will be more expensive and difficult to repair.

When to perform a Waterproofing in Valladolid

It is always necessary to waterproof new homes to extend their good condition and offer good insulation conditions against extreme temperatures and humidity. But the waterproofing of buildings deteriorate over time due to several causes: 

  • The first, precisely the passing of the years, which causes, due to the aging of the materials, the appearance of cracks in the asphalt fabric and, therefore, leaks.
  • The second is the placement of collective antennas on roofs and roofs, as well as their successive repairs over time, with the footsteps and movement of materials on a surface that is not suitable for that use.
  • And the third is caused by other factors, such as the installation of air conditioners, which also cause damage to the roofs.


The water leaks by leaks, apart from its difficult to solve, can damage not only the visible humidities, but very serious internal damage in the structure of the building. In addition, economic damage from heat leaks inside the house. If there is a problem with the waterproofing in a building and they are not solved in a short period of time, in the long run they worsen and cause other problems that are more difficult to solve, such as structural ones. A leak ends up damaging the load-bearing walls, which is why good waterproofing maintenance is important, because its main function is to preserve and extend the useful life of the building.

Why it is important to repair dampness and leaks

The repair of moisture is a critical task that must be done by a professional company. The walls, roofs and facades can have mold stains, this is a very clear symptom of damage due to humidity, but, and this is the most important thing, these humidity can seriously affect people's health. Mold can be caused not only by leaking pipes, but can have other causes. Its origin can be in a bad insulation of the house, humidity by condensation, by capillarity, bad installation of the heating, lack of ventilation, etc. The effects of mold can be serious for the people who inhabit these homes, especially the most vulnerable such as children, the elderly, pregnant women, people with respiratory difficulties.
 
Dampness in homes can pose a serious threat to a building as it can affect its general structure, causing loss of strength in load-bearing walls. A good waterproofing job is the best solution to avoid these problems.
