Newer stock, higher ground, more wind
Sonstraal Heights sits high on the Durbanville side and catches wind from both directions. The homes are relatively modern, which means thinner plaster over block, more parapet and box gutter detail, and hairline cracking that appears earlier than owners expect.
A lot of these houses were painted once by the developer and once by the cheapest quote. The second one is usually the reason we get the call.
Where the leaks start
Nearly every leak we diagnose up here starts at a detail rather than in the middle of a roof: a coping, a flashing, a box gutter, a parapet junction or a solar panel bracket that was fitted through a membrane.
So we climb it, photograph it, write down the water path, and only then price the repair. Sealing the whole area with liquid rubber beats chasing a stain around a ceiling.
