Waterproofing in Construction: Ensuring Lifespan and Structural Safety

Waterproofing refers to an overall process in construction where a barrier is built to keep water out of a structure. This process is essential in helping to protect the building from water damage to the building, as water damage can lead to expensive repairs, health concerns, and decreased property value.

The Importance of Waterproofing

Waterproofing is not simply keeping water out, but rather keeping the structural integrity of a building. Water infiltration can result in a number of issues, including the following:

• Structural Damage: Water deterioration can weaken concrete, rot wood, rust steel reinforcements, and create cracks in walls or foundations due to prolonged exposure to water.
• Mold and Mildew Growth: Damp spaces predominantly help bacteria, fungus,  mold, and mildew grow and may result in respiratory issues and other health concerns. Usually, the occupants who regularly occupy the area would be impacted by health issues.
• Energy Inefficiency: Moisture may result in poorer efficacy of insulation, thus resulting in increased heating and cooling costs.
• Aesthetic Degradation: Water, for example, water stains, peeling paint, efflorescence, can ruin the aesthetic of your building.
• Property Value Loss: A damaged building can substantially decrease market value with water issues.

Key Areas Requiring Waterproofing

• Foundations and Basements:
• Foundations: The foundation is the most critical part of any building. Waterproofing the foundation helps to prevent water from seeping in and causing cracks, which can weaken the entire structure.
• Basements: Basements are particularly vulnerable to water intrusion due to their below-ground position. Proper waterproofing is essential to prevent flooding and the growth of mold.
• Roofing:
• Flat Roofs: The main issue with flat roofs is water ponding, which may lead to roof leaks. Roof membranes and coatings create a water barrier on flat roofs’ surfaces, protecting the building from water damage from the roof over a period to simply extend the longevity of the structure.
• Sloped Roofs: Just because a roof is sloped naturally doesn’t mean it will not develop roof leaks.  Joints, chimney holes, skylights, are potential areas where leaks can develop. Waterproofing these areas is essential for preventing water penetration.
• Exterior Walls:
• Walls: The outer exterior walls are always exposed to the elements, and in the absence of proper waterproofing, water could enter the structure. A waterproof sealant is applied to walls to seal the wall and keep water out from the building’s internal structure.
• Bathrooms and Wet Areas:
• Bathrooms: The bathroom is a high-moisture area which requires significant waterproofing to prevent water from entering the walls or the floor, which may then grow mold and damage the structure.
• Kitchens and Laundry Rooms: These locations also require waterproofing as they have water entering through sinks, appliances, etc.
• Balconies and Terraces:
• Balconies: Balconies are considered outdoor space and are also exposed to the weather. Limiting water intrusion into the living space below requires waterproofing.
• Terraces: A terrace requires waterproofing to protect the rooms below from water damage.

Types of Waterproofing Solutions

• Cementitious Waterproofing:
• Application: Cementitious waterproofing is used for wet areas (often internally) such as bathrooms and basements. It provides a simple waterproofing system to mix and apply, providing good waterproofing against water ingress to the structure.
• Liquid Waterproofing Membrane:
• Application: Liquid waterproofing is a versatile waterproofing format which can be used on roofs, balconies, walls, etc. Once applied, it can provide a seamless, rubber-like membrane which is highly efficient at limiting the opportunity for water ingress.
• Bituminous Coating:
• Application: Bituminous coatings are the outside waterproofing format typically used on roofs and foundations. Excellent waterproofing and flexibility make them a good choice where movement and/or settlement can be expected.
• Polyurethane Waterproofing:
• Application: Polyurethane waterproofing is known for its flexibility and durability. It can be used on roofs, exposed surfaces, and areas which require the highest level of water resistance. It will provide a continuous, seamless membrane that is resistant to both water and chemicals.
• Sheet Membranes:
• Application: Sheet membranes are prefabricated sheets that can be placed on site to create a waterproof barrier. These membranes are used for waterproofing: Foundations, basements.

Choosing the Right Professional Waterproofing Contractors

Selecting a skilled and experienced waterproofing contractor is essential to ensure the effectiveness of the waterproofing system. Look for contractors who:

• Have Expertise: Ensure the contractor has a solid track record in waterproofing similar buildings and should be an affordable waterproofing contractor. Ideally, select a waterproofing contractor nearby.
• Use Quality Materials: The durability of waterproofing depends on the quality of the materials used.
• Offer Warranties: Reputable contractors should provide warranties on their work, ensuring peace of mind.
