LET Water Proofs Existing Structures For Longer Stability
Waterproofing is the process of making an object or structure waterproof or water-resistant, so that it remains relatively unaffected by water or resisting the ingress of water under specified conditions.
Waterproofing is the combination of materials used to prevent water intrusion into the structural elements of a building or its finished spaces. Its main purpose is to resist hydrostatic pressure exerted by moisture in the liquid state.
In building construction, a structure needs waterproofing since concrete itself will not be watertight on its own (but note concrete is easily waterproofed with additives). Conditions like Climatic change, Exposure to weather conditions and sunlight, Poor material used for construction, Repair and structural changes or Earthquake could causes structural problems.
If wooded decks etc are not properly waterproofed, we can notice discoloration, water stain, rotting and fungi growth. Walls not properly waterproofed will give in hydrostatic pressure creating cracks and leaks on walls and floors. Hassles of repair in terms of time taken, breakage and weakening of structure.
