Commercial Roof Slab Waterproofing in Sasolburg, Free State

Location: Sasolburg, Free State
Service: Concrete roof slab waterproofing — ArmTec HyperFlex over existing torch-on (commercial)

A commercial building with rental offices in Sasolburg had a flat concrete roof slab where the original torch-on membrane had failed. With tenants working underneath, the owner needed a durable, seamless overlay that could go straight over the old membrane, so Eco Seal installed the ArmTec HyperFlex system over the prepared torch-on.

The problem

The existing torch-on waterproofing had blistered, cracked and lifted at the laps, with the upstands and outlets no longer sealed. Bituminous torch-on hardens and turns brittle under UV, so once the laps open, water tracks under the sheet and into the offices below. Stripping torch-on off an occupied office roof is disruptive, so a bonded liquid overlay was the right low-disruption fix.

The Eco Seal solution

As an approved SealPro applicator, Eco Seal overlaid the failing torch-on with a fully reinforced ArmTec HyperFlex membrane:

1. Clean and prepare — the torch-on was cleaned down, blisters cut and laid flat, and lifted laps, upstands and outlets made good.
2. Prime — the surface was primed with Penetrar to bond the new system to the aged bitumen membrane.
3. Detail the weak points — laps, movement joints, upstands and pipe penetrations were reinforced with Flex and StretchSeal.
4. ArmTec HyperFlex membrane — HyperFlex was applied with ArmTec reinforcing mesh embedded across the full slab, forming one seamless, elastic sheet over the old torch-on.
5. Protective topcoat — finished with two coats of HydroSeal HF for a UV-stable, heat-reflective seal.

The result

The office building slab now carries a single, seamless waterproof membrane bonded over the old torch-on, with every lap, upstand and outlet reinforced and sealed — the same concrete slab waterproofing and ArmTec HyperFlex system we install on commercial roofs. Minimal disruption to the tenants below and a finish built to last. See more of our waterproofing work.
