Waterproofing
Waterproofing
With over 27 years of experience in the construction services, we’ve encountered and addressed a wide range of building remediation issues, including waterproofing and water damage services. Often, structural issues stem from water ingress and waterproofing failure, which may not be immediately apparent to the naked eye. Waterproofing is a crucial aspect of both construction and remedial property maintenance. While it can be a costly investment, it is essential for the stability of the structure. Once waterproofing is compromised, it cannot be restored to its original condition.
Cracks in the foundation, walls and roof can lead to basement, interior walls and roof ceiling leakages over time, especially during the rainy season when damp spots accumulate. These leaks can cause widespread damage throughout the building, affecting electrical appliances, wooden structures and foundation walls. Addressing waterproofing issues promptly can mitigate the risk of such damage and preserve the integrity of the structure.
Signs of leaks causing damages
- Water stains on walls or ceilings are often one of the first visible signs of water intrusion.
- Presence of mold or mildew, particularly in damp or poorly ventilated areas, is a strong indicator of water infiltration.
- Blistering or peeling paint is often a visible sign of moisture behind the surface
- Efflorescence, the appearance of white or grayish stains on the surface of masonry or concrete.
- Rust stains on a concrete facade
- Cracked walls a significant concern
- Dampness in walls/ceilings
