Why Waterproofing is Important?

Why Waterproofing is Important?

Waterproofing is one of the fundamental construction requirements of any building structure. Modern building structures are waterproofed using membranes and coatings to protect their integrity. However, many residential, commercial and industrial facilities report water damage every monsoon. Most of these problems are due to Waterproofing which may include inadequate Waterproofing, damage to the waterproofing layers or failure of waterproofing systems.

Suppose this water ingress is not fixed promptly. In that case, it will start damaging the structural life of the building and will also affect the service life. So, the WATERPROOFING of the building is highly crucial. In the present time, attention to the compliance of Waterproofing is part of building regulations.

The contractors and waterproofing contractors must follow the guidelines & principles of Waterproofing to ensure the safe, sustainable application of the Waterproofing to prevent water ingress. Selecting the right waterproofing solution, material and applicator is a must.

Lack of proper waterproofing solutions & poor applications can have a fatal risk to human health and assets. Of course, the rectification cost of such damages is higher. However, the damage to human health is implacable. Therefore, it is always wiser to invest in preventive Waterproofing measures rather than rectifying the damage.

“Waterproofing is a Preventive Measure and not a curative measure, whereas fixing Leakage & Seepage are Curative in nature.”

Every building structure requires routine maintenance to address and attend to any damages. These damages could arise due to harsh environmental conditions, cracks, carbonation and water ingress.

Waterproofing is a very effective preventive method. However, repairing the water-damaged structure is expensive.

The importance of waterproofing lies at the beginning of the design of the building, and leakage usually occurs many years later. This is an obvious time asymmetry, which allows developers to expose the risk to users later when considering costs. Development Commercial companies are not professional and do not keep pace with the times to find the most suitable waterproofing solution. When ordinary house buyers buy a house, who will ask you what waterproofing solution is used for your house?
