Roof waterproofing in Cyprus

Most houses and villas in Cyprus have flat concrete roofs and open terraces. In the summer, the concrete gets scorched by the sun, and in the winter, it's drenched by heavy rain. Temperature fluctuations cause old waterproofing to crack, allowing water to seep in, resulting in stains on the ceiling, mold, and peeling paint. Yarylo Construction provides waterproofing and roof repair services in the districts of Limassol, Paphos, and Larnaca.

Signs that your roof needs waterproofing

• Stains and streaks on the ceiling after rain
• Mould and damp smell in the upper rooms
• Blistering or peeling paint on ceilings and walls
• Cracks and swelling in the roof or terrace covering
• Water stays on the roof for more than a day after rain.
• Condensation under the roof

The sooner a leak is fixed, the cheaper the repair: water destroys the screed, insulation, and reinforcement.

What we do

• Inspect the roof, find leaks and causes of stagnant water
• Removal of old coating if necessary
• Repair of screeds, correction of slopes to gutters
• Membrane waterproofing (PVC, TPO) is durable and UV-resistant
• Bituminous flashings are a proven solution for concrete roofs.
• Liquid polymer waterproofing– for complex structures and small areas
• Roof insulation (extruded polystyrene foam and other materials) – the house heats up less in the summer
• Sealing of abutments, parapets, gutters, air conditioning and solar panel penetrations
• Waterproofing terraces and balconies under tiles
• Protective and reflective coatings

Stages of work

1. Inspection and diagnostics. We find the source of the leak—it's not always above the stain on the ceiling.
2. Choosing a system. We select materials based on roof type, load, and budget.
3. Subfloor preparation. Cleaning, screed repair, slopes.
4. Waterproofing and insulation installation. Particular attention is paid to joints and connections.
5. Inspection. Checking seams and pouring problem areas.
6. Interior renovation. If necessary, we restore ceilings and walls after leaks, including painting and finishing.

When is the best time to do it?

The ideal time is from spring to fall, during dry weather, to get it done before the rainy season. We also fix urgent leaks in windows in the winter, even without precipitation.

Frequently asked questions

Is it possible to simply patch up the crack?

Sometimes spot repairs can help, but if the coating is old, a leak will appear nearby. After an inspection, we'll honestly tell you what's more cost-effective.

How long does waterproofing last?

It depends on the material and the quality of installation. Membrane and high-quality bitumen systems last for many years when installed correctly.

Do you need to insulate your roof in Cyprus?

Yes, insulation significantly reduces the heating of the upper floor in summer and air conditioning costs.

How much does roof waterproofing cost?

Depends on the area, foundation condition, and chosen system. We'll calculate the cost after an inspection.
