Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my property needs waterproofing?
If you notice signs of water damage, such as leaks, mold, or dampness in your walls or floors, it’s a good indicator that waterproofing may be required.
What is the difference between waterproofing and water-resistant solutions?
Waterproofing solutions create an impermeable barrier to water, while water-resistant solutions can withstand some water exposure but may not provide complete protection. Waterproofing is essential for areas with high water exposure.
How long does waterproofing last?
The lifespan of waterproofing solutions varies depending on the materials used and environmental conditions, but most quality waterproofing systems last between 10-20 years with proper maintenance.
What areas of my property are most vulnerable to water damage?
Common areas that require waterproofing include bathrooms, kitchens, balconies, basements, and roofs. Any area exposed to water or moisture over time is vulnerable.
Do I need waterproofing for a new build?
Yes, waterproofing is a critical part of the construction process, particularly in wet areas like bathrooms and balconies. It helps prevent future water damage and extends the life of your property.
What is involved in the waterproofing process?
The process usually involves preparing the surface, applying a waterproof membrane or coating, and sealing the area.
How soon can I use an area after it’s been waterproofed?
It depends on the type of waterproofing material used, but typically, areas can be used within 24 to 48 hours once the membrane has cured fully.
