Top Tips for Protecting Your Home from Rain in the Garden Route
Homes in the Garden Route experience their fair share of rainfall—often intense and prolonged. Without proper waterproofing, even small leaks can turn into major issues.
Whether you live in George, Mossel Bay, Wilderness, Knysna, or Plettenberg Bay, moisture protection starts with the right paint and sealants, applied correctly.
Waterproofing That Works in Rainy Conditions
Focus on preparation, waterproof coatings, and smart drainage.
A good waterproofing job always starts with surface preparation. Clean, dry walls and roofs allow coatings to bond properly—maximising protection from rain and humidity.
Next, use high-quality waterproofing paint for exterior areas. On flat roofs, balconies, or parapet walls, always apply rubberised waterproofing systems with membrane reinforcement for long-lasting results.
Don’t forget the small details—like sealing window sills, chimney bases, and where pipes enter walls. These are common failure points in Garden Route homes, especially during long wet spells.
And remember: if water isn’t flowing away from your house, it’s finding a way inside. Clear gutters and direct water away with proper downpipe and surface drainage.
