Why Marbella homes get this: Marbella's villa stock is dominated by flat or low-pitch roofs with tile-on-membrane or terracotta finishes; the combination of intense UV, salt air, and occasional torrential rain (gota fría / DANA events) drives short waterproofing-membrane cycles of 8–12 years. February–March storms regularly expose flat-roof failures in older urbanisations (Nueva Andalucía, Elviria), generating an emergency-waterproofing peak just before the renovation season closes.
