A well-waterproofed house will give you peace of mind that you’re protected against the various health hazards caused by water seepage problems. These threats to your wellbeing include the formation of algae, mould, fungi, and mildew – 4 potentially toxic substances you definitely don’t want to be sharing your home with.

House leak repairs to look out for

A common problem area is roofs and terraces, where badly-fitted drainage systems can result in water accumulation that seeps through to form stains below. Flat roofs (both tiled and untiled) pose an even greater headache!

When fissures open up in walls and floors, allowing water to seep in, it’ll invariably lead to costly structural damage.

These crevices also provide an ideal habitat for mould and mildew to thrive. These fungi produce allergens that can lead to health issues including asthma and other respiratory infections, particularly in children and older people. Insect infestations are another health hazard.

Other areas of your home that may require the attention of Revo-seal waterproofing contractor include doors and windows, and drains and pipes in the bathroom and kitchen.

Revo-seal’s home waterproofing services ensure your new house is properly sealed

Waterproofing is essential. Skipping or skimping on waterproofing of a new house on the grounds of cost can be an expensive mistake that could curtail the lifespan of your property.

Acquiring landed property in Singapore, with its high cost of real estate, represents a huge investment in your future. If you fall into the temptation of regarding waterproofing as a luxury, rather than a necessity, you face a real risk of undermining the structural integrity of your home.

Waterproofing a new house during construction also provides the perfect opportunity to protect your basement – the most vulnerable place in the home for water seepage. Sealing off moisture while the basement is being built will ensure maximum protection of the foundations of your property.

Therefore, waterproofing a property during the early stages of construction helps to seal it more efficiently rather doing it later.

The professional house waterproofing contractor

A survey by the Building & Construction Authority (BCA) of private residential buildings less than 5 years old indicated that most water leakage occurred in floors and internal walls of kitchens and toilets.

Further, the Construction 21 initiative by BCA and NUS (National University of Singapore) – a blueprint for developing Singapore’s construction industry – points out that wet areas including showers, bathrooms, and toilets are places typically requiring waterproofing.

These studies show homeowners should pay particular attention to bathroom waterproofing and kitchen waterproofing.

If you live in landed property in Singapore, as opposed to HDB (Housing & Development Board) homes, you’re wholly responsible for the upkeep of the interior and exterior of your property and the amenities within your compound. They include:

• Basement
• Balcony
• Deck
• Swimming pool

BCA has drawn up a whole raft of best practices and building codes relating to home waterproofing. These can appear complex to a layman. Hence, the government agency recommends that an “experienced and qualified” person should carry out residential waterproofing.
