Waterproofing Hermanus and Whale Coast Properties

Waterproofing is critical for properties on the Whale Coast. Hermanus's winter storms, wind-driven rain and ocean spray create waterproofing demands that differ from drier inland areas. Failures are expensive - both in repair costs and the disruption to valuable holiday properties.

Flat Roofs and Balconies

Contemporary Hermanus homes often have flat roof sections and ocean-facing balconies. These horizontal surfaces are primary waterproofing risk areas. Inspect annually before winter rain and repair any cracks or membrane failures immediately. A quality waterproofing membrane system should last ten to fifteen years before major remediation.

Window and Door Reveals

Wind-driven rain and ocean spray force water into even small gaps around windows and doors on ocean-facing Hermanus properties. Inspect all reveals annually and replace any cracked or shrinking sealant immediately. Never paint over failed sealant. See our full Hermanus painting guide.
