“Our strengths in waterproofing work that cannot be imitated by other companies” have received high praise from many customers.
We have absolute confidence in “cost,” “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 cut costs associated with scaffolding construction.
Since everything is done in-house, we can significantly reduce costs by shortening the construction period!
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 canprocure materials at a lower cost!
Additionally, we always have waterproofing components in stock, allowing us torespond 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 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. This allows us to keep costs down while providing high-quality waterproofing work.

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!
In the unlikely event that leaks are not resolved after the waterproofing work, we will take responsibility and respond accordingly!
Additionally, aftercare maintenance is available every year, and we will send you a DM notification for aftercare maintenance once a year.
During aftercare maintenance, we will check the entire waterproofing system and assess the condition of any deterioration.

| Inquiry Details |
| We have received the following inquiries from our customer. ・There are wrinkles and bulges in the waterproof sheet on the rooftop, so we are 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 work” 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 installing the 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 can prevent the most common trouble of bulging in the waterproof layer!
After explaining the materials and methods, we were entrusted with the work 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.
Bulges or Cracks in the Waterproof Layer
If the waterproof area 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 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 that involves applying liquid polyurethane resin onto 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 attaching synthetic rubber sheets to the surface to prevent water intrusion.
This type of waterproofing is commonly used for 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 long durability is an advantage.
For more details on the advantages, disadvantages, and maintenance methods of PVC sheet waterproofing, 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 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 have a slightly lower impression of waterproofing performance.
It is rarely used in areas like rooftops of apartments where people do not frequently enter.
For more details on the advantages, disadvantages, and maintenance methods of long sheet waterproofing, please refer to the article below.

5. FRP Waterproofing
FRP waterproofing involves creating a waterproof layer by hardening 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 just one day.
Due to its lightweight and low cost, it seems that about 80% of single-family home balconies use FRP waterproofing.
However, it is not suitable for installation on large areas, making it less appropriate for rooftops.
For more details on the advantages, disadvantages, and maintenance methods of FRP waterproofing, please refer to 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 of asphalt waterproofing, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, but a significant advantage is its high durability.
For detailed explanations of 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 Setagaya-ku, Tokyo. Among the numerous contractors, there are likely many 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
● Check for aftercare and warranty availability
● Obtain estimates from multiple contractors (at least 3 companies)
● Confirm whether 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 work troubles are caused by construction defects during the installation.
To prevent troubles, it is important to hire a contractor who is experienced and trustworthy!
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 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 if they provide a “construction warranty“!
Contractors who offer a warranty are usually confident in their work, making them more trustworthy companies!
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 the work is completed!
Also, to ensure early detection of any issues that may arise, confirm if they provide 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 occur!
Our company sends out aftercare maintenance DM every year, so if you wish, annual aftercare maintenance is possible!
Obtain estimates from multiple contractors (at least three)
When requesting waterproofing work, always 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.
Additionally, obtaining multiple estimates makes it easier to negotiate prices. To request at the lowest possible cost, it is essential to get estimates from several contractors.
When comparing estimates, check not only the costs but also the “types of materials used” and “construction methods” to compare the finer details!
Confirm if they perform waterproofing work in-house
Let’s confirm whether we handle waterproofing work in-house!
If a sales company investigates and then requests a subcontractor, it can lead to extra time and costs.
Additionally, there may be cases where the customer’s requests are not fully communicated to the subcontractor, which can lead to troubles.
By having one company handle everything from sales to construction, we can provide responsible waterproofing work that is quick and cost-effective. Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. conducts everything from on-site surveys to actual construction in-house!
Moreover, in the unlikely event that a leak or trouble occurs, 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 used
Even with the same waterproofing work, there are various types such as “method,” “materials,” and “process,” and it is necessary to use the optimal method and materials depending on the construction location 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 such as “high-strength specifications,” “heat-insulating specifications,” and “anti-slip specifications,” so it is essential to confirm whether the construction details are 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?”
Therefore, if the materials used are only “urethane waterproofing materials,” make sure to check the product name and confirm what kind of materials they are!
