Waterproofing & roof care in Heuwelsig
Large-stand family homes, mature trees and 30-plus-year-old roofs — Heuwelsig properties protected with complete SealPro systems.
Heuwelsig's generous stands carry some of Bloemfontein's finest family homes, most built between the 1970s and 1990s. Their concrete tile roofs are structurally sound but decades past their original coating life: chalked surfaces, cracked mortar ridges and weathered valleys are the standard condition we find on inspection.
The suburb's mature trees are part of its character — and part of its roof maintenance load. Leaf litter dams valleys and box gutters, holding water against details that were never designed to be permanently wet. Valley clearing and reinforced detailing are part of every Heuwelsig roof project we run.
Many Heuwelsig homes have been extended over the decades, and the junctions between original roofs and newer flat-roof additions are a recurring leak source. Those junctions need reinforced membrane detailing, not mastic — it is the difference between a fix and a callback.

Local questions
Our house was extended years ago and leaks where old meets new. Fixable?
Yes — junctions between original tile roofs and later flat additions are one of our most common Heuwelsig jobs. The junction gets reinforced membrane detailing as part of a proper system.
Do the trees around our house affect the roof?
They do: leaf litter dams valleys and gutters, keeping details wet long after rain. We clear and detail valleys as part of restoration, and recommend a clearing cycle afterwards.
Is a 40-year-old tile roof worth restoring?
Almost always. The tiles have life left; it is the coating, ridges and details that have expired. Restoration costs a fraction of re-roofing and transforms both protection and appearance.
