Welcome back to our blog series on waterproofing! Today, we'll explore the different types of waterproofing commonly used in construction projects. Understanding these options can help you choose the right solution for your specific needs. Let's get started:
Integral Waterproofing: Integral waterproofing is a technique that involves adding waterproofing compounds directly into the concrete or mortar mixture during construction. By enhancing the concrete's resistance to water penetration, this method creates a barrier throughout the entire structure.
Interior Waterproofing: This method helps redirect water away from the foundation or Terrace and prevents it from seeping into the interior spaces. Interior waterproofing is especially useful in older/New structures & focuses on managing water infiltration from within the building
Exterior Waterproofing: Exterior waterproofing, as the name suggests, deals with protecting a structure from water intrusion from the outside. It involves the application of waterproofing membranes or coatings on the external surfaces of the foundation walls. Prevents moisture-related issues and mold growth.
For metal surfaces, specialized coatings are available that offer resistance to rust and oxidation. For Cementitious surfaces, such as concrete and masonry, can benefit from coatings that provide excellent waterproofing capabilities, protecting them from moisture-related issues.
Each type of waterproofing has its own advantages and is suitable for specific applications. By understanding these techniques, you can make informed decisions to safeguard your property and prevent costly repairs. Invest in proper waterproofing to ensure the longevity of your structures.
