Reasons why Kakeru Koumuten is chosen for waterproofing work in Aoba-ku, Yokohama

Regarding why our company is entrusted with waterproofing work by customers in Aoba-ku, Yokohama,
“Our strengths in waterproofing work that cannot be imitated by other companies”
are well received by many customers.

In waterproofing work in Aoba-ku, Yokohama,
we have absolute confidence in “costs,” “quality,” and “plans,” so
we would appreciate it if you could compare our estimates with those of other companies.

Because we are confident, we welcome competitive estimates!

1.Specialized equipment for exterior renovations

At Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd., we have organized the following warehouses and material storage areas to provide more affordable and faster exterior renovations such as waterproofing work.
We have established 5 bases centered around Aoba-ku, Yokohama for material storage and showrooms.

In-house Ownership of Scaffolding Materials


We own the scaffolding materials necessary for temporary scaffolding required for waterproofing work, allowing us to assemble temporary scaffolding in-house.
By not outsourcing scaffolding work and using our own scaffolding team, we can also reduce the costs associated with scaffolding construction.

Since everything is done in-house, we can significantly reduce costs through shortened construction periods!
We have approximately enough scaffolding materials for 50 single-family homes!

Storage of Materials in Our Large In-house Warehouse

 
We store roofing materials and waterproofing components.
By ordering a large quantity of materials at once, we can purchase materials at a lower cost!
Additionally, we always have waterproofing components in stock, allowing us to respond quickly to emergency waterproofing work!

In-house waste separation

In waterproofing work, various waste materials are generated.
Most contractors dispose of them all together, but by sorting and recycling waste materials, significant cost reductions in waste disposal fees can be achieved.

Exterior Renovation Dedicated Showroom


In our showroom, not only can you have meetings, but you can also
directly check the actual structure and color tones.

2.Complete In-House Construction

One of Kakeru Koumuten’s major strengths is complete in-house construction.

From inquiry to project completion, everything is handled by Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd., allowing us to keep costs down while providing high-quality waterproofing work.
Additionally, one representative will assist you from the estimate to the completion of the project.
Since the same person will handle sales and construction management, smooth communication is possible.
We are confident in our construction plans and costs, so we welcome competitive estimates!

3. Various Permits and Skilled Workers


We have obtained construction industry permits and permits for industrial waste collection and transportation!
We also have qualified personnel on staff and are confident in our construction techniques.
We are capable of handling large-scale waterproofing projects, such as those for factories!

4. Warranty and Aftercare

Waterproofing work comes with a guarantee!
Depending on the type of waterproofing work, we provide a 5 to 10-year leak guarantee.
If you have any questions about the guarantee, please click on the image above!

Inquiry Details
We have received the following inquiries from our customer.
・There are wrinkles and bulges in the waterproof sheet on the rooftop, and we are worried about leaks.
・We would like an estimate for a complete waterproof renovation, not just partial repairs or a top coat.
・I learned that urethane waterproofing has high waterproofing properties, so I would like an estimate for urethane waterproofing.
・Since this is my first waterproofing project, I would like to compare estimates.

Our Proposal

Since you expressed a desire to renovate using a long-lasting method rather than protective agents like top coats, we proposed a complete “urethane waterproofing project” for the rooftop.

If urethane waterproofing is applied using the adhesion method, air rising from the building can cause bulges in the waterproof layer, so we proposed the “Urethane Waterproofing Ventilation Buffer Method.”

The ventilation buffer method involves applying a ventilation buffer sheet over the entire area before applying urethane waterproofing.
By applying the ventilation buffer sheet first, the air rising from the building is suppressed by the ventilation sheet and expelled through the “ventilation pipe.”

This method can prevent the most common issue with waterproofing, which is bulging in the waterproof layer!

After explaining the materials and methods, we were entrusted with the construction from among four competing estimates!

Timing for Waterproofing Work

Already Experiencing Leaks

If leaks have already occurred, it is necessary to address the issue promptly before the damage spreads.
If left unattended, it can negatively affect the interior and underlying structures, so it is essential to stop the leaks quickly.

Bulges or Cracks in the Waterproof Layer

If the waterproof section is cracked, it can lead to rainwater intrusion.
If the waterproof layer is bulging, it indicates that moisture is accumulating within the layer.
Bulges can lead to cracks, which can result in leaks, so early detection and action are necessary.

Moss or Mold Growth

Moss or mold can develop due to accumulated moisture or rainwater.
This can be caused by poor drainage or sinking of the waterproof layer due to aging.

Exceeding the Durability Period

Generally, the durability period for waterproofing work is between 10 to 20 years.
Of course, the durability period can vary depending on the construction method and materials, but for some types of waterproofing, it is recommended to apply only the surface protective agent (top coat) approximately every 8 years (such as urethane waterproofing or FRP waterproofing).
We recommend conducting regular inspections starting from 5 years after construction.

Understanding the types of waterproofing and performing appropriate maintenance is essential.
If you are unsure about the type of waterproofing, please send us a photo via email or LINE, and we will help you determine it!

Types of Waterproofing Work

1. Urethane Waterproofing

Urethane waterproofing is a method where liquid polyurethane resin is applied in layers to the waterproofing surface.
Since it is liquid before curing, it can be applied to complex shapes, and unlike sheet waterproofing, it can be installed without seams, which is a significant advantage.
It can be widely applied to balconies, rooftops, and more.
For more details on the advantages, disadvantages, and maintenance methods of urethane waterproofing, please refer to the article below.

2. Rubber Sheet Waterproofing

Rubber sheet waterproofing involves adhering synthetic rubber sheets to the surface to prevent water intrusion.
This type of waterproofing is commonly used on large areas such as rooftops.
Compared to urethane waterproofing, it has the advantage of faster installation since there is no waiting for drying, but it is not suitable for complex surfaces.
For more details on the advantages, disadvantages, and maintenance methods of rubber sheet waterproofing, please refer to the article below.

3. PVC Sheet Waterproofing

PVC sheet waterproofing is a waterproof sheet made of polyvinyl chloride, and like rubber sheet waterproofing, it is applied to the surface to prevent water intrusion.
Similar to rubber sheets, it is not suitable for complex shapes. Although the cost is higher than rubber sheets and urethane waterproofing, its long durability is a significant advantage.
We provide detailed explanations about the advantages, disadvantages, and maintenance methods of PVC sheet waterproofing in the article below.

4. Long Sheet Waterproofing

Long sheet waterproofing, officially known as “anti-slip vinyl floor sheet,” is commonly used in shared areas and staircases of apartments where people walk.
As the name suggests, it is slip-resistant and has high durability and abrasion resistance, making it suitable for walking areas.
Additionally, it comes in various designs, excelling in aesthetic appeal.
However, it tends to be more expensive, and since it does not overlap seams like rubber sheets or PVC sheets, it may give a slightly lower impression of waterproofing capability.
It is rarely used in areas like rooftops of apartments where people do not frequently enter.
We provide detailed explanations about the advantages, disadvantages, and maintenance methods of long sheet waterproofing in the article below.

5. FRP Waterproofing

FRP waterproofing involves creating a waterproof layer by solidifying glass mat with epoxy resin to prevent rainwater intrusion.
It is commonly used in single-family home balconies, with an overwhelmingly short construction period, often completed in as little as one day.
Due to its lightweight and low cost, it is estimated that about 80% of single-family home balconies use FRP waterproofing.
However, it is not suitable for installation on large surface areas, making it less appropriate for rooftops.
We provide detailed explanations about the advantages, disadvantages, and maintenance methods of FRP waterproofing in the article below.

6. Asphalt Waterproofing

Asphalt waterproofing is a waterproof sheet that has asphalt permeated into synthetic fiber non-woven fabric.
The waterproofing shown in the photo is a method where asphalt waterproofing is pressed down with cinder concrete.
This waterproofing is used in buildings with large areas such as rooftops of schools and commercial facilities.
There are various methods for asphalt waterproofing, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, but a significant advantage is its high durability.

For more details on the advantages, disadvantages, and maintenance methods of asphalt waterproofing, please refer to the article below.

How to Choose a Waterproofing Contractor

There are many waterproofing contractors available in Hamura City, Tokyo.
Among the numerous contractors, I believe there are many people who feel, “I don’t know who to ask…”.
Choosing the right contractor can be challenging at first, so
I will explain 5 points to be careful about when requesting waterproofing work.

● Have extensive experience in waterproofing work

● Confirm the existence of aftercare and warranty

● Obtain estimates from multiple contractors (at least 3 companies)

● Check if they perform waterproofing work in-house

● Carefully review the details of the waterproofing estimate, including processes and materials used

By confirming the above 5 points, you will be able to choose a reliable contractor.

Check if they have extensive experience in waterproofing work

About 10-20% of waterproofing construction troubles are caused by poor workmanship during the construction process.
To prevent troubles, it is important to hire a reliable contractor with extensive experience!
You need to refer to the contractor’s website for their construction achievements and reviews to make a judgment.
There are also contractors who showcase their achievements on social media platforms like Instagram, so checking those can be effective!
It is also effective to look at waterproofing construction companies on review sites for reference!
A particularly recommended review site is “Google”.
Since contractors cannot arbitrarily delete low ratings, it provides trustworthy reviews.
If there are many negative reviews or no reviews at all, it may be wise to refrain from making a request.

Check if there is aftercare maintenance and construction warranty

In case of any poor workmanship or defects after construction, let’s confirm whether they provide a construction warranty!
Contractors who offer warranties are usually confident in their work, making them more trustworthy!

If waterproofing work is done, make sure to take photos of hidden areas during the process for confirmation!
Check for leaks during rainy weather after the waterproofing work, and if there are any issues, contact the contractor immediately as it will facilitate smooth communication shortly after construction!

Also, to ensure early detection of any defects that may occur, check if they provide thorough aftercare maintenance!
If a problem or trouble arises, non-specialized contractors may not notice early signs, so having a specialized contractor conduct regular aftercare maintenance can prevent troubles before they occur!

Our company sends out aftercare maintenance DM every year, so if desired, annual aftercare maintenance is possible!

Obtain estimates from multiple contractors (at least 3)

When requesting waterproofing work, be sure to obtain estimates from multiple contractors.
We recommend obtaining estimates from at least 3 companies.

Even for the same waterproofing work, costs may vary between contractors, and warranties and after-services may differ as well.

Additionally, obtaining multiple estimates makes price negotiations easier. To request at the lowest possible cost, obtaining estimates from multiple contractors is essential.
When comparing estimates, check not only the costs but also the “types of materials used” and “construction methods,” and compare the details!

Check if they perform waterproofing work in-house

Confirm whether they carry out waterproofing work in-house!
If a sales company investigates and then requests a subcontractor, it will incur additional time and costs.
Moreover, there may be cases where customer requests are not communicated 100% to the subcontractor, leading to troubles.
By having one company handle everything from sales to construction, it enables prompt and cost-effective responsible waterproofing work. Kakeru Koumuten conducts everything from on-site surveys to actual construction in-house!

Furthermore, in the unlikely event of leaks or troubles, a company that employs its own craftsmen can respond to and resolve issues quickly!

Carefully Check the Details of the Waterproofing Estimate, Process, and Materials

Even for the same waterproofing work, there are various types such as “method,” “materials,” and “process,” and it is necessary to carry out the work using the most suitable method and materials depending on the construction site and existing substrate.

For example, even with the same urethane waterproofing, there are different types of processes such as “adhesion method” and “ventilated buffer method,” and there are various types of urethane waterproofing materials like “high-strength specification,” “heat-insulating specification,” and “anti-slip specification.” Therefore, it is essential to confirm whether the construction content is appropriate for the location!

It is important not to judge solely based on cost, but to carefully check whether “the method is appropriate for the substrate?” and “are the materials suitable?”

So, if the materials used are only “urethane waterproofing materials,” let’s check the product name to understand what kind of materials they are!
