Roof waterproofing: Is fall a good time?

One of the biggest enemies for any property is undoubtedly moisture. With visible, immediate and short-term effects both on ceilings and walls, but also on the level of living standards and the atmosphere inside the property we live in. Roof waterproofing is an effective way of shielding our building against such threats, providing a security veil that also upgrades our property and is our best ally in the battle against damp and mould. One question that many property owners  are concerned about, however, is when is the right time for roof waterproofing and what they should look out for when carrying out the work.
