Importance of waterproofing during construction stage


image-1-asian-paints

“Home is where the heart is,” this expression is enough to indicate how much importance we give to our homes. Every era in history has represented homes, and people across cultures have made homes for themselves and those they care about.

As Indians, we place a lot of value on homeownership. Homes are treasured as a gathering place that offers an escape from the busy work life where one spends their time in the company of family members and friends. And in the COVID-19 pandemic, homes became the centre point of work, too.

Everyone wants to come back to a warm and cozy home, which they can show to their relatives, friends, and guests with pride. You spend a lot of time and money to model your home and its interiors for that special look. Be it the walls, painting, false ceiling, lights, or the furniture; you want to give it an artistic touch. But what if water seepage happens? All your valuable interiors will be spoiled beyond repair, and it will also give rise to mould and fungus, thus not only spoiling the beauty but also inviting health issues.
