Waterproofing
Waterproof often refers to resistant water, moisture, dampness, and humidity to penetrate under pressure.
Waterproofing is the process of making a building structure water-resistant so that it is unaffected by the ingress of water under specific conditions.
In building construction, waterproofing is a fundamental aspect of creating protection for the structure, such as the roof, balcony, and wet areas. Masonry walls are damp-proof to prevent dampness and the concrete in the foundation needs to be waterproofed with a coating as a barrier to water ingress from the rainwater. Water seepage can lead to mould and mildew growth, causing significant damage to the building structure and air quality issues. Properly waterproofing foundation walls is required to prevent deterioration and seepage.
Water is a highly mobile substance capable of reaching all sorts of spaces behind the walls. Dampness arising can lead the water to travel in its various states through walls, floor, and masonry via capillary action, even vertical upward gaps do not deter water movement.
Failed Waterproofing
Failed waterproofing is one of the leading causes of water damage to building structures. The major problem that occurs in the building or homes is wearing out of the waterproofing membrane after years of usage. Another factor is the impact of expansion and contraction on waterproofing systems for rooftops and balconies. Constant changes in temperature, especially in the Singapore climate can stress the waterproofing system.
A waterproofing membrane is a material used to create a barrier to the structure. Depending on the area, different waterproofing techniques may have to be applied. Many types of waterproofing membrane systems are available, cementitious liquid waterproofing membrane, bituminous waterproofing, epoxy membrane, polyurethane (PU) injection grouting, and more. New technologies and membranes are seeking to overcome shortcomings in older methods. They are very adhesive to create a seamless barrier to the structure as well. Standards for waterproofing have improved over the years.
A quality waterproofing system should last for at least 5 – 10years. However, this is largely dependent on the type of waterproofing materials used as well as the workmanship of the waterproofing contractor. Selecting the best waterproofing specialist is crucial to ensure good and reliable workmanship. Thus provide a 100% waterproofing satisfaction to consumer.
