A roof can have a sound main surface and still leak where waterproofing changes direction or terminates.
Why this matters for properties in Paphos
Parapets are exposed to sun, rain and movement from more than one direction. Cracked tops, open joints, low upstands and poorly finished terminations can let water bypass the main roof layer.
What to inspect before deciding
Inspect the top and both faces, corners, outlets, railings and services. Look for cracks, loose caps, failed sealant and stains below junctions.
A practical way to plan the work
The waterproofing system should continue through transitions according to its specification. Repairs to render or coping may need coordination before the membrane or coating is finished.
Common mistake to avoid
Focusing only on the horizontal field area leaves edge defects untreated. A continuous system is only as reliable as its transitions and terminations.
