As much as we enjoy the greenery, scenic beauty, and monsoons, they also bring some challenges. Extreme weather conditions can cause damage to your homes and buildings unless you seek protective measures during the construction phase itself. In most cases, people notice cracks and leakages only when monsoon hits. Even a small crack poses a threat to your safety inside the house and repairing it can cost you dear. If the problem aggravates, it can even put the entire structure in danger. This very well indicates that you have to take proactive steps to avert any unpleasant situations later.
Waterproofing can bolster the structure and foundation in a big way.
Skipping waterproofing during construction, especially in a tropical monsoon environment can be destructive. The infiltration of water can debilitate the structure of your building and its durability. Also, the resale value of your building will go down.
Let us see how we can prevent seepages and cracks in buildings:
Terrace waterproofing
Before moving for terrace waterproofing, understand the structure of your terrace. Rule out that there are no cracks and gaps. Ensure that the surface is clean and free from dust, debris etc. Now, apply a trusted waterproofing solution like Banwet, also known for Water Tank Waterproofing. Once the solution is cured, inspect the application. It is important that the whole process should be done by expert people, otherwise, it may not be of value to you.
Roof waterproofing
First of all, clean the roof by removing dust and debris. If need be, apply a primer and then use a reliable waterproofing solution. Ensure that the solution is evenly applied across surfaces for maximum protection and allow it to dry. Roof waterproofing with the right material will enhance the longevity of your house or building.
Foundation and Walls waterproofing.
Foundation and Walls waterproofing is crucial because they prevent water infiltration. Without waterproofing, moisture can seep into the foundation, which will weaken the walls and develop mould and mildew. Thus, waterproofing becomes inevitable for foundations and walls, otherwise it will attract cost repair.
Bathrooms and Kitchens
Bathrooms and kitchens are the areas where moisture exists in huge amounts. So, to prevent any possible damage, it is imperative that waterproofing should be done well in advance. Unless bathrooms are waterproof, they can dampen the walls. Proper waterproofing eliminates any such threats and does good for the durability of the building.
PU waterproofing
PU waterproofing is gaining popularity. This liquid coating is ideal for buildings and structures. It is easy to apply and durable too. It has several advantages over the traditional waterproofing methods. It offers chemical resistance, superior finish, UV resistance, and fast curing. PU can be applied internally or externally. There are high-quality PU waterproofing materials like Banwet available in Kerala.
Conclusion
Waterproofing is critical in states like Kerala, where monsoon and tropical weather conditions play havoc on the security and strength of buildings. From terraces to roofs to foundations, kitchens, bathrooms, and water tanks, there is vulnerability, unless you protect them. Waterproofing solutions like Banwet offer the best performance and enhance the durability of the building. For more queries on waterproofing, call +91 6235 755 755 or email us at mail@banwet.com.
