1.Facilities Specialized in Exterior Renovation

Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. has prepared 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 Scaffolding Materials


We own the scaffolding materials necessary for temporary scaffolding required for waterproofing work, allowing us to assemble temporary scaffolding in-house.
By conducting scaffolding work with our own scaffolding team instead of outsourcing, we can also reduce the costs associated with scaffolding work.

Since everything is handled in-house, we can significantly reduce costs by shortening the construction period!
We have enough scaffolding materials for approximately 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 procure materials at a lower cost!
Additionally, we always have waterproofing components in stock, allowing us to respond quickly to emergency waterproofing work!

In-house separation of waste materials

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

Exterior Renovation Dedicated Showroom


In our showroom, you can not only have meetings, but also
directly check the actual structures and colors.

2.Complete In-House Construction

One of Kakeru Koumuten’s major strengths is its 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 work.
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!

We also accept emergency measures for sudden leaks!

Since our sales and construction management are not separated, one dedicated representative will handle everything from the estimate to the completion of the work!
Changing representatives frequently can lead to miscommunication regarding the details and precautions of the work, which could cause problems, so we maintain a system that does not change representatives.

6. Human Resource Development

We regularly provide technical training to ensure that all staff can handle various types of buildings.

Inquiry Details
We received the following inquiries from our customer:
・There are wrinkles and bulges in the waterproof sheet on the roof, so I am worried about leaks.
・Please provide 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 wanted to renovate using a long-lasting method rather than protective agents like top coats, we proposed a complete “urethane waterproofing project” for the roof.

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 tube.”

This can prevent the most common problem in waterproofing, which is bulging of the waterproof layer!

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

Timing for Waterproofing Work

Leaks Have Already Occurred

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

Bulging or Cracking of the Waterproof Layer

If the waterproof area is cracked, it can cause rainwater to enter.
If the waterproof layer is bulging, it indicates that moisture is accumulating within the layer.
Bulging can lead to cracks, which may 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 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 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.
Before curing, it is in liquid form, allowing it to 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 attaching 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, which, like rubber sheet waterproofing, is applied to the surface to prevent water intrusion.
Like rubber sheets, it is not suitable for complex shapes. Although the cost is higher than rubber sheets and urethane waterproofing, its durability is a significant advantage.
For more details on the advantages and disadvantages of PVC sheet waterproofing and maintenance methods, please refer to the article below.

4. Long Sheet Waterproofing

Long sheet waterproofing, officially known as “anti-slip vinyl flooring sheet,” is commonly used in shared areas and stairs 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 apartment rooftops where people do not frequently enter.
For more details on the advantages and disadvantages of long sheet waterproofing and maintenance methods, please refer to 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 construction on large areas, making it less appropriate for rooftops.
For more details on the advantages and disadvantages of FRP waterproofing and maintenance methods, please refer to the article below.

6. Asphalt Waterproofing

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

For more detailed information 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 Kanagawa-ku, Yokohama.
Among the numerous contractors, many people may feel “I don’t know who to ask for help…”.
Choosing the right contractor can be challenging at first, so
I will explain 5 points to consider 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 experience!
You need to refer to the contractor’s website for their construction achievements and reviews to make a judgment.
Some contractors showcase their achievements on social media platforms like Instagram, so checking those can also 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 delete low ratings on their own, 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 any construction defects or issues occur after the work is done, let’s confirm whether they provide a construction warranty!
Contractors who offer warranties are usually confident in their work, making them more trustworthy companies!

If waterproofing work is done, make sure to have photos taken 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 the construction!

Additionally, to ensure early detection of any issues that may arise, confirm whether they will conduct thorough aftercare maintenance!
Since non-specialized contractors may not notice signs of problems or troubles, having a specialized contractor perform regular aftercare maintenance can help prevent issues before they arise!

Our company sends out aftercare maintenance DM every year, so if desired, annual aftercare maintenance can be arranged!

Obtain estimates from multiple contractors (at least three)

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

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

Moreover, obtaining multiple estimates makes it easier to negotiate prices. To request at the lowest possible cost, obtaining estimates from several contractors is essential.
When comparing estimates, check not only the costs but also the details such as “types of materials used” and “construction methods”!

Check if they perform waterproofing work in-house

Confirm whether they carry out waterproofing construction in-house!
If a sales company investigates and then requests a subcontractor, it will incur additional time and costs.
Also, there may be cases where customer requests are not fully communicated to subcontractors, leading to troubles.
By having one company handle everything from sales to construction, responsible waterproofing work can be done quickly and cost-effectively. Kakeru Koumuten handles everything from site surveys to actual construction in-house!

Furthermore, if leaks or troubles occur, a company that employs its own craftsmen can respond to and resolve issues quickly!

Carefully Check the Details of Waterproofing Estimates, Processes, and Materials

Even for the same waterproofing work, there are various types such as “methods,” “materials,” and “processes,” 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, including “high-strength specifications,” “heat-insulating specifications,” and “anti-slip specifications.” 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 base material?” and “are the materials appropriate?”

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