Waterproofing Hout Bay Properties

Waterproofing is critical for Hout Bay properties. The valley's combination of mountain runoff, winter rain, ocean spray and high humidity creates waterproofing demands that exceed those of more sheltered Cape Town suburbs. Flat roofs, balconies, retaining walls, basement spaces and ocean-facing elevations all need proper waterproofing attention.

Retaining Walls and Basements

Hout Bay's sloped terrain means many properties have retaining walls and semi-basement or below-grade spaces. These are among the highest-risk waterproofing areas on a Hout Bay property - groundwater pressure from the saturated mountain slope above is significant in winter. Negative-side waterproofing (applied from the inside) is often needed in addition to external waterproofing treatment.

Flat Roofs and Balconies

Contemporary Hout Bay homes with flat roofs and ocean-view balconies need quality waterproofing membrane systems inspected annually. See our full Hout Bay guide.
