What to Know Before Installing a New Roof: Essential Insights from TT Waterproofing
Submitted by: Nellah
Gauteng, South Africa – For homeowners and business managers facing the decision to replace an aging or damaged roof, TT Waterproofing, a trusted name in roofing and waterproofing solutions, shares vital information to help make this process smoother and more transparent. This comprehensive guide addresses key questions, timelines, and unexpected factors that can arise during a roofing installation, ensuring clients understand each stage and can approach their projects with confidence.
Timeline of a Roof Installation
One of the most common questions for any roofing project is, “How long will it take?” According to TT Waterproofing, a new roof installation usually requires between 1 to 14 days from start to finish. The exact timeline depends on factors like roof size, material choice, and seasonal conditions. Once work begins, the active installation generally takes between 3 to 5 days, although unforeseen issues may require additional time. By understanding this timeline, property owners can better plan around their installation project and anticipate any minor delays that might occur if unexpected challenges arise.
What to Expect During Roof Removal
A thorough removal of the old roof is necessary before new materials can be installed. TT Waterproofing follows a meticulous process, removing sections incrementally to ensure no part of the home is left exposed. This step minimises disruption to clients’ properties, with debris management strategies like tarping and careful planning to protect landscaping. In cases where hazardous materials such as asbestos are detected, certified handling ensures a safe, clean environment for both clients and contractors.
Handling Unforeseen Structural Issues
Despite a thorough initial inspection, certain issues like rotting or weakened beams can only become visible once the old roof is stripped away. TT Waterproofing stresses the importance of transparent communication in these situations, as clients will be informed of any additional repairs required to ensure long-term structural stability. Addressing these hidden issues not only supports the roof's integrity but also prevents future leaks and costly damage.
Installation of Protective Underlayments
Underlayments, such as sisilation—a woven, reflective material—are essential for managing moisture and providing additional protection against water damage. This layer is installed beneath the roof sheets to control condensation and bolster the durability of the new roof. TT Waterproofing’s expert team prioritises the highest quality materials and practices to safeguard every roofing investment.
Specialised Treatments for Roof Penetrations and Valleys
Critical areas like chimneys, skylights, and roof valleys are particularly vulnerable to leaks if not carefully sealed. TT Waterproofing uses advanced techniques such as sisilation, flashing, and caulking to protect these sections from water intrusion. Roof valleys, which channel water flow, are reinforced with V-shaped valley sheets tailored from durable materials like aluminium and Zincalume, ensuring seamless water management and enhanced roof longevity.
