Johannesburg is South Africa’s largest city, a dense urban landscape stretching from Soweto in the south-west to Sandton’s high-rise commercial district in the north. The housing stock spans pre-war brick homes in Jeppestown, Mayfair, and Observatory, through 1970s flat-roofed apartments in Hillbrow and Berea, 1980s and 1990s sectional title complexes in Randburg and Roodepoort, to modern freehold and sectional title developments in the northern suburbs. Each generation of building brings its own waterproofing challenges.
Waterproofing Problems in Johannesburg
In Johannesburg’s older southern and western suburbs, rising damp is chronic. Many homes were built before effective damp proof courses became standard, and original bitumen or slate DPCs have long since failed. The CBD and inner suburbs face significant flat roof waterproofing challenges, with ageing concrete slabs carrying decades-old membrane systems well past their service life. The northern suburbs, predominantly tiled roofs, suffer ridge mortar failure, flashing defects, and post-hailstorm damage every summer. Commercial and industrial properties throughout Johannesburg require regular flat roof assessments.
