EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT WATERPROOFING MEMBRANES

Waterproofing membrane is a water-resistant layer applied on surfaces to prevent water leakage. Waterproofing can be categorized into two types: liquid-applied or sheet membrane. Water infiltration can be effectively prevented by using these materials on foundations, such as structural slabs. Waterproofing membranes can be used to protect various areas, including basements, roofs, and walls, but their primary purpose is to prevent water from penetrating the foundation and safeguarding your construction from water damage.

In the construction industry, waterproofing materials are sometimes overlooked altogether, while others apply a very thin layer or use low-quality waterproofing membranes, leading to water damage in the entire area. Did you know that water-related issues contribute to 80% of building defects? That's why the quality of the waterproofing membrane is crucial to protect your property.

Benefits of a high-quality waterproofing membrane include:

- Preventing leaks and water damage: Water leaks often result in damage to furniture, flooring, and water stains on ceilings or walls.

- Safety: Poor waterproofing can lead to severe damage to the integrity of a building, making it unsafe for occupancy.

- Strengthening the building's architecture: Waterproofing membranes extend a building's lifespan by reducing humidity that could lead to property and content damage, structural corrosion, rust, and rot.

- Protection against mold: Water leaks can damage furniture, carpets, and cause moisture staining on ceilings or walls, leading to structural issues.

- Creating a healthier environment: Waterproofing creates a cleaner and healthier environment, especially in walls and ceilings, as these areas can foster fungus and mold growth, resulting in various health problems such as asthma, coughing, and frequent illness.

- Reducing maintenance costs: Proper initial waterproofing protects your property from water leaks, reducing the need for costly repairs and maintenance.

No matter the size, location, or type of building, waterproofing membranes are essential for securing the structural integrity of a building. They can be applied to various areas, commonly on flat roofs, balconies, bathrooms, and more.
