Gaps & Joints
Gaps/Joints Between Surfaces
Cause of the problem
Gaps/ joints are one of the most common un-noticed sources which cause waterproofing problems by allowing entry of water into the structure. Neutral silicone sealants like Unyversyl can be used for filling these gaps and joints.
Recommended products:

Leakages through gaps and joints
LeakageThrough Gaps & Joints which Requires Painting Over
