Beautiful House But Not Durable - When Waterproofing Is Ignored When Building a New House

1. New House But Already Leaking - Not Rarely

Many homeowners share that just a few months after building their house, they see water stains, swollen bricks, and peeling paint.

While the design is very beautiful, the materials are high quality and the interior is well-invested.

The main cause is not the architecture, but the lack of waterproofing from the beginning or the careless, sketchy work.

2. Why Do New Houses Need Waterproofing Right From The Start?

Common mistake: "Concrete is solid, no need for waterproofing".

In fact, most building materials such as cement, bricks, and mortar have the ability to absorb water and conduct moisture.

As water penetrates over time (through rain, moisture, underground pipe leaks...), it will:

- Peeling paint, wall stains.

- Causes mold, bad odor, and interior damage.

- Underground steel corrosion, structural cracking.

- Causing leakage to neighbors (adjacent houses/apartments).

And then, to handle it, you must:

- Break bricks and floors.

- Redo paint, plaster, electricity and water.

- Repair costs 3-5 times higher.

3. Items That Must Be Waterproofed From The Root

4. Waterproofing Cost – Not As High As You Think

Average cost: 100,000 – 350,000 VND/m²

Repair costs if not waterproofed:

- Chiseling tiles, redoing toilet floor: 4 - 8 million.

- Repainting moldy walls: 2 - 5 million/room.

- Replace plaster ceiling due to leaking toilet upstairs: 5 - 10 million.

Do it right the first time - save millions and repairs and inconvenience.

5. Advice From Waterproofing Engineer:

Always waterproof the bathroom floor, terrace, and border walls, even when the house is 100% new.

Do not use waterproof paint instead of specialized materials because paint is only the outer layer and is not durable if water has seeped in from the inside.

Choose the right materials, the right techniques and the right time for construction because wrong handling is both costly and ineffective.

A beautiful home can make you happy from the start.

But a well-waterproofed house will give you long-term peace of mind.
