“Roof replacements are so cheap,” said no one ever in all of history. That’s because they are extremely expensive! Which is why you should look after it as well as you can. And by looking after your roof we mean regular maintenance and timely repairs should something go south.

Another way to look after your roof is with waterproofing. Waterproofing is the process where a layer is applied to the roof in order to make it resistant to water. Waterproofing ensures that your roof is not affected by any amount of water.

Here’s why you should consider waterproofing your roof:

1. To Extend Its Lifespan
As we’ve said before, replacing your roof is costly. The lifespan of a roof is typically 30 years but it can last even longer if you maintain it and by applying a waterproof layer. There are many DIY options but the safest bet would be to hire a professional for the job.

2. To Prevent Damp in Your Home
Roof waterproofing prevents water from entering your home through your roof, thus also prevents damp. Damp isn’t only unsightly and destructive, it’s dangerous to your health. Damp can cause or worsen respiratory infections as well as asthma.

3. To Save You Money
Ultimately the biggest benefit when it comes to waterproofing is to save you money on expensive roof repairs and replacements. While waterproofing will require an investment on your part, keeping your roof in excellent condition will save you money in the long run.
