Spain is sunny most of the time, but the recent spell of wet weather has shown serious defects in many homes on the Costa Blanca and Costa Cálida

<span style='color:#780948'>ARCHIVED</span> - Torrential rains in Murcia and Alicante threaten to flood flat roof homes, warns Leak Proof

The Leak Proof team busy at work waterproofing a property in Torrevieja

As we have experienced in the last couple of days, when the weather turns bad here in Spain it can be torrential for days. And we seem to be having more and more of this type of weather. Before we would have the Gota Fría storms once a year, and now we seem to be having frequent storms three or four times a year as the weather becomes more extreme and unpredictable.

These sudden heavy downpours are causing more properties with flat roofs to have serious problems with leaks. When the water pools on top of these buildings and doesn’t have time to drain off properly, the structure of the roof can become damaged and water can easily enter the property, especially if they are old and haven’t been fixed up in a while.

That’s where Leak Proof come in. With their experienced team that have been waterproofing buildings in the Alicante Province and the Murcia Region for more than 10 years, Leak Proof have been able to refurbish and refresh hundreds of homes using their special polyurethane systems that offer flexible solutions that last the test of time.
