Waterproofing upturns and parapets in Medina is one of the jobs we carry out most often in the area. Materials rated for the Marrakech climate, a tidy site, deadlines kept: free survey, written quote within 24 hours, ten-year warranty on the works.
Rainy season Nov–Mar: The Marrakech rainy season runs from November to March: that is when every tired terrace reveals itself. An ignored leak costs up to 10 times the price of waterproofing — damaged beams, lifted tadelakt, mould, repainting — and cuts the value of the property. The right time to waterproof is before the first heavy rain, not after it.
Waterproofing upturns and parapets in Medina: the job
Waterproofing upturns and parapets in Medina starts with the substrate diagnosis: condition of the old membrane, falls, drains, upturns. Only then comes the application of a system suited to the Marrakech climate. 90% of leaks start at the upturns: we raise the waterproofing 15–20 cm up the parapet, with sealed counterflashing and a clean finish. The indicative cost is 90–160 DH/m; after the free survey you receive the firm price in writing, valid and locked.
The Medina context
The Marrakech Medina is our home ground: hundreds of riads with centuries-old flat roofs built from earth, cedarwood and lime, where traditional waterproofing — rammed earth layers and tadelakt — is reaching the end of its life. Every job here must respect ADER rules and the UNESCO listing: no hauling tonnes of rubble through narrow derbs, no altering the roofline of the terraces. We use light materials compatible with pisé: flexible resins, flame-free self-adhesive membranes, parapet upturns rebuilt to standard. Leaks in the Medina are unforgiving: they rot the wooden beams, swell the earthen walls and lift the tadelakt off bedroom walls.
People who call us from Medina for waterproofing upturns and parapets often already have two or three quotes: ours stands out because it is written line by line and the price never moves afterwards.
