Kitchen Waterproofing Services

Effective kitchen waterproofing services are key to the health of you and your family and to prevent costly damage caused by water infiltration.

Kitchens, like bathrooms, are classed as wet areas where waterproofing is mandatory. The Building & Construction Authority (BCA) says waterproofing of kitchens can be a problematic area in building work, with water incursion occurring in the floors and walls.

The BCA advises householders that only an “experienced and qualified” waterproofing contractor should carry out home waterproofing, and the agency highlights the importance of applying the right waterproofing material and allowing it to cure.

Therefore, if you suspect your kitchen waterproofing has seen better days or are thinking about renovating the room, you need to consider new waterproofing, particularly if you’re going to be re-tiling.

Ensuring your kitchen waterproofing is up to scratch is also important if you’re considering moving home. Kitchens, like bathrooms, are significant aspects when selling a house, and a well-waterproofed kitchen will be an attractive proposition to prospective buyers.

Even if you’re not thinking of upping sticks any time soon, a kitchen with effective waterproofing can help to reduce the cost of maintenance over time and avoid the potentially huge expense of having to repair structural damage caused by water seepage.

Remove water seepage health hazards in the kitchen

Health hazards posed by water penetration in kitchens include the appearance of fungi including mould and mildew, particularly dangerous for children and older people.

The USA Institute of Medicine (IOM) has established a connection between exposure to mould and respiratory issues. Mildew is also known to cause breathing problems, as well as allergic reactions.

A further health issue from water seepage is that it exposes your kitchen to insect infestation through cracks in the walls.

Signs you need new kitchen waterproofing

Besides insect problems and the formation of fungi – which can thrive in Singapore’s humid climate – other signs you may have kitchen water incursion problems include:

• Cracks in floors or walls.
• Water staining on walls or floors.
• Unpleasant odours.

Apart from creating a health hazard in your kitchen, water seepage can also inflict extensive, long-term structural damage, including:

• Rotting timbers.
• Corrosion of metal fixtures, such as pipes.

While a burst pipe is generally obvious, constant water seepage can cause more destruction, and you might not notice the problem before the damage has been done.
