Flatroof Waterproofing
Flat Roof Waterproofing in Kenya
Due to their low slope, flat roofs are especially vulnerable to water pooling during Kenya’s rainy seasons. When left untreated, stagnant water finds its way through hairline cracks and weak spots, leading to ceiling leaks, compromised concrete, and internal dampness that silently destroys your building from the top down.
At Palette Point Solutions, we provide professional flat roof waterproofing systems tailored for Kenya’s climate, from the intense rains of March–May to the flash floods of October–November. We build a full system of protection using elastomeric membranes, cementitious coatings, torch-on bitumen rolls, and UV-resistant sealants, depending on the specific roof substrate and use case.
Whether you’re waterproofing a concrete slab, podium deck, exposed roof, or a rooftop with mechanical equipment, we assess, prep, and treat your flat roof with scientific precision and industry-proven materials.
Why Flat Roof Waterproofing Matters in Kenya
Stops Water Pooling Before It Penetrates: Flat roofs are naturally prone to water retention. Without a slope to drain it, water infiltrates through microcracks, compromising both waterproofing layers and structural integrity.
Protects Interiors from Moisture Damage: Leaks from flat roofs damage ceilings, insulation, lighting fixtures, and even electrical wiring leading to costly repairs and safety hazards.
Adapts to Nairobi’s Climate Extremes: From intense UV exposure in dry months to heavy rains in wet seasons, our waterproofing systems are designed to expand, contract, and resist breakdown over time.
Increases Roof Lifespan & Lowers Maintenance: Professionally applied waterproofing extends the usable life of your roof by 10–15 years, depending on material used and exposure conditions.
Improves Building Valuation & Insurance Eligibility: Properties with proven waterproofing systems are easier to insure and command higher value in the market , especially for commercial spaces.
Prevents Mold Growth & Damp-Related Health Issues: Moisture from roof seepage causes condensation and mildew, which are major triggers for respiratory issues in children and the elderly.
