Leaks after intense rain
Cracked tiles, open abutments, failed flashings, outlets or ageing membranes can all allow water into the build-up. The entry point must be traced before the repair is defined.
ROOF RENOVATION MALLORCA
Roof renovation in Mallorca, defined before work begins.
EcoViva assesses the existing roof, defines the build-up and critical details, selects the right roofing specialists and coordinates execution through completion.
PROBLEMS & DIAGNOSIS
The visible leak is often not the whole roof problem.
Water can enter at one detail and appear somewhere else inside the property. Before proposing a repair or complete renewal, we review the roof type, slope, substrate, drainage, insulation, penetrations and connections to walls and terraces.
Overheating and poor insulation
An uninsulated or discontinuously insulated roof can transfer significant summer heat indoors. Insulation, airtightness and vapour control need to suit the existing construction.
Standing water on flat roofs
Insufficient falls, blocked or undersized outlets and badly resolved thresholds keep water on the membrane and increase stress at joints and details.
Timber and under-roof deterioration
Long-term moisture can damage battens, boards or structural timber. We only retain elements whose condition and role are properly understood.
Condensation mistaken for a leak
Interior moisture is not always rainwater. Ventilation, thermal bridges and vapour movement are checked when the symptoms do not match an obvious external defect.
Failed junctions and penetrations
Chimneys, roof windows, parapets, solar supports, pipes and wall connections are frequent weak points when separate trades have not been coordinated.
A durable roof is a complete water, heat and detail-management system.
SYSTEMS & SOLUTIONS
Pitched and flat roof systems matched to the property.
The final specification depends on the existing structure, architectural character, use of the space below and the condition of the current roof. EcoViva coordinates the complete build-up instead of treating tiles or waterproofing as isolated products.
Traditional pitched roofs
Repair or renewal with curved clay tiles, ventilated eaves, appropriate under-roof layers, battens, flashings and carefully resolved ridges and abutments. Reusable tiles can be retained where their condition allows.
Insulated flat roofs and terraces
Falls, vapour control, insulation and waterproofing are designed as one system. Depending on the substrate and use, the membrane may be EPDM, PVC, TPO, bituminous or liquid-applied.
Drainage and roof details
Outlets, gutters, overflows, parapets, metalwork, thresholds and penetrations are specified with the main roof system so water has a controlled route away from the building.
Timber repairs and roof openings
Where required, specialist timber repairs, roof windows and other openings are coordinated with insulation, ventilation and waterproofing rather than added afterwards.
MALLORCA
Designed for Mallorca’s sun, heat, salt air and sudden rainfall.
High UV exposure and thermal movement age exposed materials, while coastal salt air affects metals and fixings. Short periods of heavy rain test outlets and every junction. Material compatibility, corrosion resistance, drainage capacity and maintainable details therefore matter as much as the visible finish.
ECOIVA
From diagnosis to a controlled roof renovation.
Markus & Maritza personally review the request and keep the technical, commercial and communication sides connected throughout the project.
1. Initial review
We review the property information, photos, plans and the problem you are experiencing.
2. On-site assessment
We inspect accessible roof areas, visible defects, drainage, connections and the interior symptoms.
3. Technical definition
We define repair versus renewal, the layer build-up, insulation, waterproofing, drainage and critical details.
4. Clear scope and proposal
The agreed solution is translated into a coordinated scope, materials and proposal before work starts.
5. Specialist execution
Suitable roof specialists execute the work in the planned sequence, including related interfaces.
6. Quality control and handover
We follow key details, completion points and the final handover with one EcoViva contact.

Roof renovation Mallorca: frequently asked questions
Can a leaking roof be repaired without complete replacement?
Often yes, when the defect is local and the surrounding roof build-up remains sound. We first determine whether a targeted repair is durable or would only postpone a wider renewal.
Do you renovate both pitched and flat roofs?
Yes. EcoViva coordinates traditional pitched roofs, modern pitched roofs, flat roofs and roof terraces, including insulation, waterproofing, drainage and related details.
Which waterproofing membrane is best for a flat roof?
There is no single best membrane for every property. Substrate, movement, drainage, access, detailing and intended use determine whether EPDM, PVC, TPO, bituminous or liquid waterproofing is appropriate.
Can traditional Mallorcan roof tiles be retained?
Usable tiles can often be selected and reused as the visible finish, while the layers below are renewed. Their condition, quantity and the desired final appearance must be checked first.
Can insulation be added during roof renovation?
Usually this is the right moment to assess insulation because the build-up is already accessible. The insulation and vapour strategy must be compatible with the existing structure and waterproofing.
Do you also coordinate roof windows, gutters and solar interfaces?
Yes. These elements are included in the roof detailing so openings, fixings and drainage are not left as disconnected works.
