Water leakage can cause serious damage to your construction be it a commercial property or residential property. The only way to get rid of the perils of water leakage is to get waterproofing done during the time of construction itself. However, most people see it as an additional expenditure and thus tend to ignore it. Later on, when some time passes, damp patches start to appear on the wall as a result of water leakage from the roof, external walls, sunken bathroom floor, basement, and so on.
The blog post talks about the consequences of ignoring building waterproofing.
Impacts the longevity of the structure
One of the apparent consequences of not giving waterproofing its due importance is that it gradually decreases the durability of your structure. Water seepage due to leaking roof or sunken bathroom floor will reach out to walls and important parts like columns and linter to only soften and loosen the plaster. If left untreated, the water will reach out to the steel bars and start corroding them, causing significant structural damage.
Ruins the aesthetics
It is important to fix water leak in time. If it is ignored, it can ruin the interiors of your establishment, be it commercial or residential. As soon as you notice the very first sign of damp patches on the walls, consult with a waterproofing expert immediately. Water leakage gradually led to the discolouration in the walls which not only make your interiors look shabby, but the moisture built up on the walls start impacting your wooden furniture as well.
Poses health risks
Dampness on walls led to the growth of mould and mildew which can pose serious health threats by deteriorating the indoor air quality. Occupants living in such a place may experience symptoms like nasal congestion, coughing, sneezing, and difficulty breathing among others. Therefore, in no circumstances should dampness on walls be ignored.
So, these are some of the consequences that people may suffer if they overlook the importance of waterproofing.
