Flat roof waterproofing à Evere
Flat roofs, terraces and extensions: EPDM, bitumen felt or liquid resin. Evere is the flat roof municipality.
7 km from our depot in Grimbergen
What that changes here
Behind almost every Brussels house there is a flat-roofed extension, and behind almost every apartment block a larger area. Access is the problem: the materials go up through the stairwell or over the neighbour’s roof, which needs an agreement. We look at that access on the first visit, not on the day of delivery.
Evere was built mainly after the war: housing estates from the 1950s and 1960s, social housing and apartment blocks with large flat roofs. The building stock is younger than elsewhere in Brussels, but the first generation of bitumen felt laid on those flat roofs is now reaching the end of its life.
What we get called out for in Evere
Evere is the flat roof municipality. We come here for bitumen felt from the 1970s and 1980s gone hard and cracked at the upstands, for outlets set too high, and for insulation that, on this first generation of flat roofs, is simply missing. Often in jointly owned blocks.
Evere porte le code postal 1140 et se situe in the Brussels-Capital Region. Notre équipe part de Grimbergen, à 7 km : nous y planifions l’étanchéité de toit plat en même temps que les chantiers de Schaerbeek, Woluwe-Saint-Lambert et Kraainem, pour qu’un déplacement serve plusieurs toitures.

Common questions
Pour un devis, la visite à Evere se fixe en général sous quelques jours ouvrés. Nous partons de Grimbergen, à 7 km, et nous groupons nos visites par secteur : si un chantier tourne déjà cette semaine à Schaerbeek ou Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, cela peut aller plus vite. En cas de fuite active, nous venons d’abord bâcher et sécuriser ; l’étanchéité de toit plat n’est chiffrée qu’ensuite.
EPDM is laid in a single piece, with no seams across the field of the roof, and lasts thirty to fifty years if it is laid properly: it is the logical choice for an extension or a terrace of normal size. Torch-on bitumen felt still makes sense on large areas and complicated decks. The deck and the actual falls decide, not the catalogue.
Not always. If the deck is sound and the insulation dry, an overlay is possible and costs considerably less. We always probe the insulation: covering over waterlogged insulation means shutting the problem in for ten years.
