Waterproofing Contractors
Waterproofing contractors are easy to find and hard to choose between. We are a family business that has been diagnosing water in buildings since 2000, and we come back after the first rain to check the problem is actually solved.

How TurboMax Works
The same process on every job, from the first phone call to the rain that proves it held.
- 1Free site inspection.
We come out, get onto the roof or into the wall, and find the actual cause. No charge, no obligation.
- 2Written quote and booking.
Preparation and substrate work priced separately from the waterproofing, so you can see exactly what you are paying for and compare it properly. A deposit secures your date and materials. The balance is only due once the work is finished.
- 3The work, done in the right order.
Repairs and preparation before anything is applied. Preparation is the difference between a system that lasts and one that lifts.
- 4The first rain test, then your guarantee.
Fred phones after the first proper front to confirm it held. Written, minimum 2-year guarantee, with extended guarantees available on request, and a 10-year service guarantee where the work is maintained by us on an agreed cycle.
Why Choose TurboMax
Two things separate us from whoever sealed it last time. We find the cause before we treat it, and we come back after the first rain to check that we were right.
We Find the Cause, Then We Check It Held
Water almost never enters a building where the damage appears. It runs along battens and rafters, gets in behind flashings, or arrives from a shower on the floor above, so we trace it back to the actual entry point before anyone quotes. That regularly ends with us telling somebody their job is smaller than they were told.
Then Fred phones after the first proper rain to confirm it held, before you have to phone him. If it has not, we come back at our cost. He has always treated a comeback as more important than new work, which is why most of what we do still arrives by word of mouth.
Two Generations, On Site
TurboMax has been waterproofing in Cape Town since 2000, on the basis that the market needed a company that could diagnose a problem properly and stand behind the result.
It is still a family business in the literal sense. Fred owns it, quotes every job himself and is on site. His son Thomas started alongside him at fifteen and now runs the second team. So the person who assessed your roof is the person whose name is on the guarantee, rather than a salesman you meet once and a crew you never do.
26years of people phoning us back
The waterproofing trade has a reputation problem. The way out of it is boring and slow: do what you said, in writing, and come back when it rains.
Fred is a man of his word. The work they did on our roof was on time and good quality.
Repaired some leaks, redid the waterproofing and sprayed my entire roof with liquid rubber in 2 days at a reasonable price. They also guarantee their work for 2 years.
Run by a hands-on owner who impressed with his honesty and integrity. After the first rains, he contacted me to enquire about the work.
I received an extremely professional and friendly service. I was provided with expert advice throughout the project, which was completed well within time and under budget.
Excellent, professional, well-priced work. And a completely hassle-free process! 6/5. Thanks Fred!
Thank you TurboMax Waterproofing for your service and after service. I can definitely recommend your professional service.
Where TurboMax Works
We are based in Kuils River and work across Cape Town, the northern and southern suburbs, the West Coast, the Winelands and out to the Overberg.
Questions people actually ask us
Straight answers, including the ones that talk us out of a bigger job.
Do you charge for a quote or a site inspection?
No. Both are free, including the site visit, anywhere in our service area. There is no obligation attached, and if we get there and find your problem is smaller than you expected, or is not ours to fix, we will tell you that.
What guarantee do you give?
Every job carries a written, minimum 2-year guarantee on our workmanship. Extended guarantees are available on request.
What happens if the problem comes back?
You call us and we come back at our cost. Fred treats comebacks as more important than new work, so a returning problem gets an immediate response rather than joining the queue behind new enquiries.
Why are you open on Sundays?
Because leaks happen on weekends and most of the trade is unreachable from Friday evening until Monday morning. A leak that starts on a Sunday morning and waits until Monday has had a day and a half to work into a ceiling, and that is the difference between a repair and a replacement.
How do I pay?
In two payments and no more: a deposit that secures your booking date and materials, then the balance once the work is finished. The payment details come with your written quote. What we do not do is payment plans or instalments.
Free inspection, a written quote, and no obligation
Fred will tell you what is actually wrong before there is anything to decide.
