Dr Roof

Roofing slabs on pedestals

Waterproofing beneath slabs on pedestals in Brussels

Tiles laid on pedestals allow water to drain away beneath the roofing membrane. Faults are often found at upstands, drains and areas with a low gradient.

  • Targeted assessment
  • Photos and report
  • Service subject to availability

How the service call works

  1. Assessment

    Analysis on site or remotely, depending on the situation: location, condition of the surfaces and causes of water ingress.

  2. Repair or protection

    Targeted work or temporary measures when access, weather and safety conditions allow.

  3. Report and recommendations

    A summary of findings, useful photos and priorities for what comes next — without any promise of overall watertightness.
