Waterproofing is a set of activities, done to prevent any deterioration of property by water or dampness. The aim of waterproofing is to protect the infrastructure from water.
Waterproofing keeps things dry in the house or at the workplace. The Presence of humidity causes several issues including the formation of mold, corrosion of steel, insect infestation, and poor air quality.
During the rainy season, we face frequent issues related to leakage from Ceilings, Walls, terraces clogging with water, etc. These instances create a bad experience at home and cause not just financial loss but emotional loss too.
Most people take action against a water-related issue when it happens rather than preventing them in the first place. As the say goes "Prevention is better than Cure", waterproofing also shares the same philosophy.
Waterproofing the house before construction saves time, money, and heartbreaks. Starting from the foundation, waterproofing has its application all the way to the roof. If done while constructing the house, it saves time and hassle afterward.
What are the few Advantages of waterproofing your home?
1. Prevent any health-related issues:
Water seeping through the walls and ceiling cause dampness and increase the moisture level of the structure. This will result in an infestation of Mold, Mildews, and insects.
Any such insect lay spores and makes air quality bad for the lungs. If left unattended, it may lead to the deterioration of food and property.
2. Prevent interior of your home:
Incoming water due to rain and ground water cause damage to concrete, steel, and wood. It weakens them and renders cracks which invite more water from the rain.
Dampness and efflorescence make costly wall paints peel off. The beauty of your house gets affected by patches. Also, dampness affects your furniture and invites infestation of termites in them.
3. Increase the value of your property:
A well-waterproofed house gets a premium in the market. It proves that your house is structurally solid and has a long life.
4. Saves money later:
As I mentioned earlier, "Prevention is better than Cure", waterproofing done when there is a leakage or seepage costs more money compared to when done during the construction of the house.
Even if you have missed it during the construction phase, there are still multiple pre-emptive jobs you can do such as Terrace waterproofing, Bathroom and Kitchen waterproofing. These jobs will cost less as you are doing it before any major damage.
As we saw in this article, timely waterproofing is important and has its fair share of advantages.
