Looking for a reliable waterproofing contractor to repair roof leakages?
Finding the right contractor to waterproof your home or any other building can be quite challenging if you don’t know what distinguishes a good waterproofing contractor from the average. For that reason it is very important to know what to look for in a waterproofing contractor before hiring someone. Hiring the right contractor will save you money and make sure the job gets done properly.
Maybe you are building a new house or some other building and want to install waterproof roofs, under-tiling or basements, or damp-proof walls. It is essential to find a contractor that is reliable, and has a portfolio of clients who you can contact.
Before you hire a waterproofing contractor, you first need to play ‘contractor inspector’. The easy guidelines below will ensure you hire a professional contractor who will deliver quality work, value for your money and of course a non-leaking roof, waterproof basement, tiling or walls.
Waterproofing Contractor Inspector Guide
- Find out if the contractor is not a member of the Waterproofing Federation of South Africa (WFSA) and whether there are any unresolved complaints made against the contractor.
- Do proper research on the prospective waterproofing contractor and try and find as much information as possible about the contractor. Look for reports about the prospective contractor.
- Ask the prospective contractor if they can provide proof of insurance.
- Get at least three written cost estimates or quotations from various contractors. Beware of contractors asking a huge down payment before the commencement of the project. Compare the cost estimates with the rest of the market.
- Check if there have been any complaints filed against the prospective contractor. You can search the Internet, visit websites like Hello Peter.com or contact the Waterproofing Federation of South Africa (WFSA).
- Get at least three referrals from previous customers of the contractor. Enquire about the quality of service and workmanship they have received from the contractor and if there are any specific grievances they encountered.
