Waterproofing

This is a technique that stops water from entering your building. As a rule of thumb, concrete is known to be rigid, but there are a variety of reasons that may cause it to become permeable. These issues include poor craftsmanship, lack of curing, excessive water, incorrect compaction, etc. There will also be joints in a concrete structure (both non-moving and moving), which will always be a source of seepage. Water seepage/leakage occurs due to shrinkage cracks and structural fractures in the concrete. The seepage of water causes corrosion of the reinforcing steel and spalling of the concrete, which eventually endangers the structural integrity of the building. Water is lost due to continuous leakage of water from water retaining structures.

Waterproofing is very essential since it aids in keeping your building dry when it rains. It contributes to the reduction of humidity inside a structure, thus protecting the contents from harm caused by humidity or water exposure, along to other things. The building’s credibility is partly dependent on its authenticity.

Waterproofing is an extremely necessary component of the building process; yet, as a customer, you may not be aware of the many advantages it provides. Waterproofing should be completed for the foundation, basement, terrace, and bathrooms, along other areas of the building. Always make certain that the highest-quality construction materials are utilised in the construction of the structure to which you are contributing. You may contact with a waterproofing contractor who will be able to advise you on the appropriate level of waterproofing.

With waterproofing, one of the difficulties is that the results may not be seen immediately after the construction is completed. However, if moisture, humidity, and leaks continue to accumulate, it may cause significant damage to the structure, walls, floors, and even the foundation of the building. Although it is still possible to make repairs at that stage also, but it is much more costly and time-consuming. In order to avoid an issue from occurring in the initial place, it is always preferable to apply waterproofing solutions during construction itself instead of trying to repair it after it has occurred.

Although it is regrettable, a lack of knowledge may result in more repairs and maintenance problems in the future. Silkon, on the other hand, offers waterproofing solutions of world-class quality. Silkon offers a comprehensive line of waterproofing solutions under the Silproof Series.
