How to make your home 100% leakage-free

There is no place like home. Our home is our safest haven. It is where we live, breathe, and nurture to the fullest - along with our loved ones. And certainly, no one would ever want their home to appear dull, flaky, or scrapped due to any reason, including water damage. Water damage is one of the rising concerns for most modern homeowners in India. That’s because a very basic home improvement activity like waterproofing is often neglected.

Ignoring waterproofing needs not only affects the housing structure externally but also takes away from its internal aesthetics. Hence, waterproofing solutions should be prioritized to eliminate or curb water seepage related issues, and homeowners should proactively undertake damp proofing & waterproofing activities before things get out of control.

SOURCES OF WATER SEEPAGE

Generally, water seepage takes place when water is accumulated on any surface on a constant basis. This usually happens when there are cracks and gaps, as they are the most basic reasons for water to seep through. Below are some of the leading active sources of water leaks:-

Active water leaks:

- Loosely sealed valleys
- Blockage and clogging along the gutters
- Improper drainage system
- Excessive moisture due to rainwater
- Broken, faulty pipelines
- Leakage from water tanks, toilet/ bathroom supply lines
- Walls adjacent to water-prone areas (bathrooms, kitchens)

Inactive water leaks:

Apart from the above active water leakages, most homeowners also face challenges through some hidden sources of water damage. A few of the most common inactive sources of water leakages include:

- Cracks that form in the building due to heavy stress and inherit vibrations in the structure
- Gaps created between two different materials such as doors & windows and the walls
- Water prone areas such as bathrooms and kitchen
Both These sources of water leakage often require professional intervention, so they don’t cause permanent damage to the building structure.

THE SOLUTION

Brick-bat-coba, bituminous treatment, mud phuska, chemical waterproofing are the most common methods of conventional waterproofing. Although they are easily available and usually within budget, these conventional solutions are not as effective in the long run.
