The current hydrological year is leaving historic figures in Spain. Since the beginning of the period in October, accumulated rainfall has reached 460 liters per square meter, 42% above normal, according to data from the Spanish State Meteorological Agency (AEMET). In recent weeks alone, the passage of 16 storms has pushed rainfall well above the average values for the 1991–2020 period across most of mainland Spain.
Under these circumstances, leaks and water infiltration in industrial and residential roofs once again become an urgent issue for property owners, communities and maintenance managers.
When the rain does not stop, the solution cannot wait
One of the biggest challenges during periods of continuous rainfall is that most repair systems require dry substrates for proper application. However, leaks usually appear precisely when it rains.
AQUAPOL, Eagle Waterproofing’s instant waterproof coating, was specifically developed to work in those conditions: it can be applied on damp or wet surfaces, without the need for prior priming and with an immediate waterproofing effect.
Its wax-based formulation, reinforced with fibers, allows the creation in a single application of a continuous, resistant and flexible membrane capable of sealing cracks and fissures instantly.
Emergency repairs in extreme conditions
Unlike many conventional products, AQUAPOL:
- Can be applied even during rainfall.
- Is suitable for all types of substrates: concrete, fiber cement, metal, bituminous felt, asphalt, bituminous coatings, lead, slate, brick, gutters, downpipes, drains or corrugated sheets.
- Requires no primer.
- Provides a cost-effective and efficient solution for urgent interventions
- Is available in 1 kg, 5 kg and 20 kg formats, in grey and tile red.
Its easy brush application and coverage rate of 1 to 2 kg/m² make it a technical solution particularly suited for maintenance services, installers and rapid intervention teams.
A trend repeated all across Europe
The phenomenon is not exclusive to Spain. All across Europe, September 2025 was one of the wettest on record in parts of Germany, France and the United Kingdom. In the UK, autumn ended with 120% of the average rainfall, confirming a growing trend of climate irregularity and intense precipitation episodes.
In this context, having solutions that are capable of acting immediately can make the difference between a minor incident and a major structural problem.
“More extreme weather conditions require solutions that allow immediate and effective intervention. With AQUAPOL, we provide a reliable technical response that can be applied even when the roof is wet, preventing a minor leak from becoming a major structural issue. In fact, we often say that every professional waterproofing or maintenance should carry a bucket of Aquapol in their van: it works instantly, regardless of weather conditions. It is for a reason that many applicators refer to it as the ‘aspirin of construction’”, says Gemma Mogas, Socia y General Manager de Eagle Waterproofing Ibérica, the European subsidiary of Eagle Group.
Immediate protection when it is needed most
AQUAPOL does not only work as an emergency repair solution, but it also provides effective and durable protection against future rainfall, preventing small leaks from developing into more serious damage.
A solution designed to respond exactly when the problem arises.
