Pretoria, Gauteng — For homeowners and business managers, the prospect of a new roof installation can seem overwhelming. TT Waterproofing, a leading provider of roofing and waterproofing services with over nine years of industry experience, offers essential guidance to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience when upgrading or replacing a roof.

What to Expect During a Roof Installation

Understanding the timeline is crucial. Depending on the size and scope of the project, the entire roof installation process typically takes between 1 and 14 days. Factors such as roof type, material availability, and unforeseen complications can influence this duration. Once the installation begins, TT Waterproofing aims to complete most projects within three to five days. However, hidden structural damage—such as rotting beams or sagging purlins—may extend the project’s timeline. TT Waterproofing’s team maintains open communication, ensuring that any surprises are promptly addressed and discussed with clients before proceeding.

The Roof Removal Process

Removing the old roof is the first step in installation, and TT Waterproofing ensures this process is handled with care and precision. The team removes roofing material in sections, ensuring that no part of the roof is left exposed overnight. Tarps are used to collect debris and protect lawns and gardens from damage. For properties with asbestos roofing, certified removal procedures are followed to ensure compliance with safety standards.

Addressing Hidden Issues and Roof Penetrations

One of the challenges during installation can be hidden problems uncovered after the old roof is removed. TT Waterproofing is committed to discussing these issues with clients before proceeding. Additionally, the company places a strong emphasis on handling roof penetrations like chimneys, skylights, and vents, ensuring that these potential weak points are sealed properly using appropriate materials like sisalation and flashing to prevent leaks.

The Importance of Sisalation Underlayment

A key component in every TT Waterproofing installation is the use of sisalation underlayment. This woven material with a reflective aluminium coating helps manage condensation, boosts energy efficiency, and prevents water from seeping into the ceiling. By reflecting heat, it ensures homes stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, contributing to year-round comfort.

Enhancing Roof Design with High-Profile Ridges

For those looking to add an extra touch of elegance to their property, TT Waterproofing offers high-profile ridges that not only protect the seam where roof slopes meet but also enhance the overall architectural appeal of the roof.

TT Waterproofing’s focus is on delivering high-quality, reliable service while keeping clients informed every step of the way. For more information or to schedule an appointment, contact TT Waterproofing at 078 057 9663 or visit their office at 6 Sebopa St, Mamelodi – RD5, Pretoria, 0122.
