Properties with flat roofs in Spain are especially susceptible to flooding and leaks
The rainy season in Spain is fast approaching, with experts predicting another serious Gota Fría storm some time in the next couple of months, bringing with it the potential for floods and problems in the home.
These kind of heavy storms are becoming more frequent, and can cause major problems for typical Spanish properties that have a traditional flat roof.

Leak Proof, for all your roofing needs in the Costa Cálida and the Costa Blanca
Leak Proof is a British father and son business based in the southern Costa Blanca for over a decade which offers services for all roofing needs, not only in the province of Alicante but also throughout the Costa Cálida and the Region of Murcia.
All kinds of properties and roofs are catered for, whether they are old or new and whether the work required is on a complete roof or only on a specific area. Flat roofs are typical causes for concern regarding leaks, for example on extensions and garages, and the specialist knowledge and techniques used by Leak Proof are also applicable to fibreglass roofing, conservatories, covered passageways and even classic old “finca”-style properties with tiling issues.
30-year guarantees are supplied with fibreglass roofing (also known as GRP Roofing) and membrane roofing, a system for used for both buildings and tanks. The purpose of membrane roofing is to move water off the roof, and the membranes used are most commonly made of synthetic rubber, thermoplastic and modified bitumen.
Leak Proof guarantee that all of the membranes they employ are UV resistant and provide insulation against both hot and cold weather conditions, making them ideal for flat roofs and the floors of solariums, roof terraces and balconies.
In addition, they use a range of specialist waterproof paints for all interior and exterior work, and offer tiling and re-grouting services.
Insurance work and community projects on residential developments and urbanizations are undertaken, and full invoices are provided.
