Why is waterproofing an important process in construction? Waterproofing construction is the development of a “barricade” over the surfaces of structures, roofs, walls and the foundations of a building. It acts as a barricade because it prevents water penetrations through these surfaces.
Waterproofing construction is considered as a skill that is very technical, and it requires the contractor to have years of experience together with sufficient and proper understanding of the engineering needs of waterproofing construction. When the repair works are not done the right way, it can potentially complicate things and cause more problems.
Waterproofing construction is an important process for all types of properties. It is generally required for basement of structures, walls, bathrooms and kitchen, balconies, decks, terrace or roofs, green roofs, water tanks and swimming pools, basically areas that are constantly exposed to moist and water all year round.
Why do you have to be mindful of waterproofing constuction? Waterproofing construction is something that most people tend to neglect because it is something that you are not reminded of on a daily basis, unlike interior and exterior decors that you see everyday. Even though waterproofing construction is “invincible”, it is something that serves a very important purpose for all buildings and is definitely something that should not be neglected.
As a home owner, you should engage a waterproofing contractor as soon as you noticed water leakages. Waterproofing construction is a reasonably priced service that provides a long term solution to water leakages.
As your trusted waterproofing contractor, SWC Construction is committed to solve all your water leakages. One of the many repair methods that we often suggest is High PU Injection Grouting. High PU Injection Grouting is an injection of liquid grouting material into the structure under pressure. During the grouting process, fissures (an opening or line of breakage made by cracking or splitting in structures) and pores are filled with the grouting material, which subsequently hardens and connects the disintegrated surfaces. High PU Injection Grouting can help to fill the cracks fully as once the injection is administered; the foam expands to fill in the entire space of each crack. This fullness gives full coverage and protection from any water seepage.
Of course, the above-mentioned method is only one out of the many available methods. Waterproofing construction consists of many other repair methods as well. Do not hesitate to contact us if you would like to find out more!
