1.Facilities Specialized in Exterior Renovation

Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. has organized the following warehouses and material storage areas to provide more affordable and faster exterior renovations such as waterproofing work.
We have established five 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 done 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 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 sorting 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 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 colors.

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

5. Flexible and Prompt Response

Our company is equipped to handle various troubles and situations.

If we are unable to access the rooftop for waterproofing checks, we will utilize drones to assess the condition.

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 may cause issues, so our company maintains a system where the representative remains the same.

6. Human Resource Development

We regularly provide technical training so that each staff member can handle various types of buildings.

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

Our Proposal

Since you mentioned wanting a long-lasting renovation rather than just protective agents like a top coat, we proposed a complete “urethane waterproofing project” for the roof.

If urethane waterproofing is applied using a direct 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 controlled by the ventilation sheet and expelled through a “ventilation pipe.”

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 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 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 the accumulation of 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.
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 for large areas such as rooftops.
One advantage over urethane waterproofing is that there is no waiting for drying, allowing for faster installation; however, 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.
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.
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 applied in shared areas of apartments and staircases where people walk.
As the name suggests, it is slip-resistant and has high durability and wear 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 hardening glass mat with epoxy resin to prevent rainwater intrusion.
It is commonly applied in single-family home balconies, and the construction period is significantly short, often completed in as little as 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 construction on large 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 secured with cinder concrete.
This waterproofing is used in buildings with large areas such as rooftops of schools and commercial facilities.
While there are various methods of asphalt waterproofing, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, a significant benefit 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 Midori-ku, Yokohama.
Among the numerous contractors, there are likely many who 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 keep in mind when requesting waterproofing work.

● Have extensive experience in waterproofing work

● Confirm the presence 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 installation.
It is important to hire an experienced and trustworthy contractor to prevent troubles!
You need to refer to the contractor’s website for their past work 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 refer to review sites to look for waterproofing construction companies!
The review site we particularly recommend is “Google”.
Since contractors cannot arbitrarily delete low ratings, it is a reliable source of 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 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 anything arises, contact the contractor immediately as it will facilitate smooth communication shortly after the construction!

Additionally, to detect any issues early, 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 you wish, annual aftercare maintenance is possible!

Obtain estimates from multiple contractors for waterproofing work (at least 3 companies)

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

The costs may vary among contractors even for the same waterproofing work, and the 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 work 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 your requests are not 100% communicated to the subcontractor, 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 on-site surveys to actual construction in-house!

Additionally, if leaks or troubles occur, 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 optimal 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 such as “high-strength specifications,” “heat-insulating specifications,” and “anti-slip specifications.” Therefore, it is essential to confirm whether the construction content is appropriate for the installation location!

It is important to check in detail, not just to judge by cost, 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!
