Waterproofing solutions
When you pick your engineer and architect to meticulously design and craft your home’s outlook and interiors, you ask them to make you a home that reflects your style and values, don’t you? From picking the wall colours to picking every piece of furniture, everything you choose is thoughtfully picked to make a home that is safe, beautiful, and comforting. Then, how can you forget to pick the appropriate waterproofing materials for your home while it is under construction?
Sometimes, with time, your home may begin to show up with concerns like dampness, leaks, cracks, and seepage. One of the areas that is quite often hampered by changing weather conditions, fluctuating temperature and humidity levels, as well as rainfall, is your home’s parapet wall. Ensure comprehensive protection by considering professional wall waterproofing services. Let’s understand in detail the importance and steps of parapet wall waterproofing.
The parapet wall, also known as the dwarf wall, is a heavy railing or barrier surrounding the edge of your roof, balcony, or terrace. The parapet roof is typically an upward extension of the wall on the roof, terrace, or balcony. We all love to stand on our terrace, leaning on the parapet roof wall, sipping a cup of coffee overlooking a scenic view. The refreshing feeling goes away when the parapet wall starts getting cracks and seepage on its surface.
The parapet roof wall is made of concrete, and with time, you are bound to see a few cracks on its surface. During the rainy season, the water ingresses through these cracks and enters the parapet wall or gets directly soaked in by the concrete. This seeped-in water then travels down the horizontal slab surface in a vertical direction (thanks to gravity!), causing water seepage. This makes parapet waterproofing crucial for the integrity of your home’s structure.
As important as parapet waterproofing is, it is crucial to get this waterproofing service done by a trusted source. A local vendor, to reduce the quotation, may claim to offer the complete work at a lower cost but may only waterproof the terrace slab. Skipping the parapet wall waterproofing can result in cracks and the failure of the waterproofing. A trusted source, on the other hand, would suggest waterproofing parapet walls roof both internally and externally, along with waterproofing the terrace slab, to ensure that the roof or terrace is waterproofed from all sides.
