The Essentials of Home Waterproofing

Waterproofing is an essential aspect of a functioning home. Effective waterproofing keeps property dry and safe from water damage.

The process usually occurs during the building and renovation stage. It usually involves the application of a waterproofing sealant or a membrane to different surfaces.

Without waterproofing, homes can be subject to water damage that can be costly to repair. Water damage can also cause health problems through increasing dampness, and can heighten the risk of dangerous accidents such as electrical fires.

Waterproofing is usually used in areas that are exposed to water such as bathrooms, toilets, kitchens, and laundries. However, waterproofing measures also need to be applied in walls, the roof, balconies, and any other area that comes into contact with water.

Plumbers or other qualified waterproofing specialists usually undertake waterproofing. The party applying the waterproofing measures should be completely qualified, insured, and licensed as required. Warranties for significant periods such as 10 years are standard for waterproofing jobs.
