Inquiry Details

We received an inquiry from a customer living in Aoba-ku, Yokohama, stating, “I am concerned about the deterioration of the waterproofing and am considering a renovation.”
Since they wanted a long-lasting method rather than just a protective agent like a topcoat, we proposed waterproofing work using a high-strength urethane with the ventilated buffer method.

We proposed an estimate for exterior painting as well, based on the idea that “if scaffolding is being set up, exterior painting should also be done.”
The existing exterior wall had a mortar finish with a Jolly Pat texture, so we suggested using Art Fresh, a specialized repair paint for textured walls.
Using paint other than the specialized paint on a Jolly Pat finished exterior wall can cause blistering and peeling of the paint film after a few years, which is why we recommended the specialized paint.

Roof Urethane Waterproofing Construction (Vapor Barrier Method) Procedure

1. High Pressure Washing

First, we will clean everything thoroughly with high-pressure washing! If we apply paint over dirt, it will peel off quickly, so we wash away the dirt to improve adhesion. We will be careful while washing, as excessive pressure can damage the existing waterproof layer! We will move or elevate any obstacles, such as outdoor units, that may interfere with the waterproofing work.

2. Surface Preparation

We will clean any remaining dirt that could not be removed during washing.

3. Primer Application (First Coat)

Since the existing waterproofing is made of PVC sheet, we used a specialized primer for sheet waterproofing. The type of primer varies depending on the substrate and the new waterproofing material, so be sure to use the appropriate primer!

4. Ventilation Sheet Installation & Joint Tape Application

We will install the ventilation sheet across the entire flat area to prevent wrinkles and air pockets. Joint tape will be applied seamlessly at the joints. The sheets used are called ventilation sheets. By installing the ventilation sheet, we allow air rising from the building to escape outside, preventing the most common waterproofing issue: blistering.

5. Installation of Ventilation Pipe

This is a tube for exhausting water vapor that occurs between the waterproof layer and the substrate on the roof.
The vent pipe is securely fixed to prevent movement. The number of installations varies depending on the size.

6. First Layer of Polyurethane Base Material

Apply evenly and flatly.
Also, for vertical rises, use a dedicated polyurethane base material.

7. Second Layer of Polyurethane Base Material

Apply in the same manner as the first layer. Ensure a proper thickness of the membrane around the drains, vertical rises, and vent pipes.

8. Application of Top Coat

serves to protect the urethane main agent. It protects against friction and dirt when walking or moving around. The top coat is typically applied in two layers!
Once the application is complete, we check for any missed spots.

9. Completion of Rooftop Urethane Waterproofing Work

Once it dries, the work is complete! We return everything to its original place and finish up!

What is the Ventilated Cushion Method?

The Ventilated Cushion Method is the optimal technique for waterproofing on rooftops or balconies with existing concrete substrates, to mitigate the phenomenon of moisture forming and causing swelling inside the applied waterproof material.

Additionally, the Ventilated Cushion Method is suitable for rooftops or balconies where leaks have already occurred!

If waterproofing work is done using the adhesion method instead of the Ventilated Cushion Method on a concrete substrate, the steam emitted from the concrete can cause swelling in the waterproof layer from the inside.

To prevent this swelling, the Ventilated Cushion Method utilizes essential ventilated performance ventilated cushion sheets and ventilation tubes, allowing water vapor to escape to the outside, ensuring stable construction without swelling!

Exterior Wall Painting Work Procedure

1. High-Pressure Washing

Through high-pressure washing of the exterior walls, we thoroughly remove dirt and moss! The roof also had accumulated dirt and moss, so we cleaned it up with high-pressure washing!

2. Protection of Various Parts and Crack Repairs


We will protect areas that will not be painted, such as windows, sashes, and floors, using masking tape, blue sheets, and polymer masks. This is a very important task in the painting process! If we neglect the protection, gaps may form, allowing paint to seep in, or we may not achieve clean lines. We will also repair any cracks!

3. Primer

This is the first step of applying paint after high-pressure washing and substrate treatment, and it is the paint that ensures that the middle and top coats adhere well to the surface. Since this is for painting a plaster wall exterior, we are using a highly breathable cationic sealer as the primer!

4. Middle Coat


This is an important process to bring out the performance of the paint, to achieve a beautiful finish, and to eliminate unevenness in the application!

5. Top Coat


This is the finishing touch for the exterior wall painting. We will ensure that there are no uneven areas or missed spots, aiming for a beautiful finish! The paint used is from SK Kaken / Art Fresh! Art Fresh is a repair paint specifically for Jolly Pat. Elastic paints and glossy paints are not recommended as they can cause blistering and peeling.

Summary

This concludes the rooftop urethane waterproofing work and exterior painting work in Kanazawa-ku, Yokohama!

Rooftop waterproofing, when deteriorated, can often lead to leaks. If work is required after a leak occurs, additional costs may arise, so it is important to perform maintenance thoroughly before leaks happen!

In the case of PVC sheet waterproofing, as it ages, blisters and wrinkles can occur at the rising parts.
