What Is Roof Garden Waterproofing?
Roof garden waterproofing is a specialized multilayer system designed to create an impermeable barrier over concrete slabs prior to installing landscaping and vegetation. Unlike conventional roofs, green roofs retain moisture constantly and undergo persistent biological pressure from root systems. Consequently, this solution relies on high-performance elastomeric or bituminous membranes paired with durable root barriers, preventing organic intrusion and leaks into the lower levels of commercial facilities, resorts, and multi-family residential developments.
Beyond water containment, a functional green roof system incorporates engineered drainage cells and filtration geotextiles that channel excess rainwater and irrigation away from the slab. Grupo Eleven Solutions® applies advanced technologies tailored to the specific load and architectural requirements of your property. These industrial-grade solutions protect structures exposed to high humidity, extreme tropical conditions, and intensive foot traffic, ensuring building longevity and avoiding disruptions to ongoing commercial or hospitality operations.

Frequently asked questions
Why is an anti-root barrier required for roof gardens?
Plant roots naturally migrate toward moisture and can penetrate conventional waterproofing membranes, compromising structural concrete. An anti-root layer serves as a physical barrier that prevents biological damage, ensuring the underlying waterproofing remains intact and fully functional throughout the garden's lifespan.
What does your free inspection and diagnostic include?
Our technical team reviews existing slab conditions, perimeter parapets, structural penetrations, and drainage slopes. We assess the building's current exposure to moisture and recommend an engineered roof garden system tailored to your property before work commences.
Do your waterproofing systems carry certifications?
Yes, Grupo Eleven Solutions® utilizes products with recognized national and international certifications, approved by leading global manufacturers. These systems meet stringent standards for tensile strength, elongation, UV resistance, and environmental durability in challenging tropical climates.
What warranty coverage do you provide on roof garden projects?
We provide a written warranty on all our roof garden waterproofing projects. Supported by over 35 years of industry experience and certified application crews, our systems are built for long-term protection under heavy moisture and continuous plant growth.
