Water Seepage Repair Services

Revo-seal’s waterproofing and water seepage repair services can prevent the trail of damage that can be caused by prolonged water intrusion in residential, commercial, and industrial property.

For building owners, a well-maintained property is imperative to get the best return on your substantial investment. Certain measures, including slab leak repair of your waterproofing, can even increase the value of your property while guaranteeing it’s a safe, dry, and comfortable place in which to live or work.

Moisture caused by rainwater seeping into a building can create the sort of humid atmosphere that results in the growth of mould.

Water can also damage the structure of your building by weakening the foundations. Furniture, fixtures and fittings, and your possessions may be ruined as excess moisture rusts metal and decays wood.

Causes of waterproofing breakdown

No matter how effective a waterproofing work was when it’s done, you can’t expect 100% protection of your building from the elements forever, particularly in Singapore’s wet and humid tropical climate.

The length of time that your building’s waterproofing will last depends on factors such as:

• The age of the property.
• The type and quality of the waterproofing material applied.
• Whether it’s been well maintained in general.

The Straits Times reports “water leakage is a big issue among homes” in Singapore. The 3 common causes of waterproofing failure are:

1. Poor preparation work. The Australian Institute of Waterproofing (AIW) says poor workmanship is the single biggest cause of waterproofing collapse, accounting for 90% of all waterproofing breakdowns. The AIW underlines the importance of ensuring a sound, smooth, and clean surface on which to apply waterproofing treatments.
2. Failure to prime surfaces. The second most common problem with water-resistance systems is associated with failure to prime surfaces before application of materials to form a watertight membrane. Priming of surfaces reduces porosity and absorbency levels, thereby preventing the problem of residual moisture in the substrate causing the adhesive bonding in a waterproof membrane to become ineffective.
3. Insufficient curing time. Another cause of waterproofing problems is failure to allow sufficient time for the curing of water-resistant products applied as liquid. This results in screeds and tiles and other finishing surfaces being installed on top of a waterproofing membrane that hasn’t been fully formed for maximum effectiveness.

Signs of waterproofing problems

Some indications of water penetration in a building may be immediately noticeable, while other water incursion problems can be concealed from view without a close inspection of the property.

If you suspect your waterproofing system has broken down through wear and tear or has been damaged in any other way, you need to seek advice from a dependable water leak and waterproofing repair service specialist, like Revo-seal.

Here are some common signs that you may need your waterproofing system overhauled:

• A leaking window or roof could point to faulty waterproofing in ceilings and walls or excessive dampness threatening the property’s foundations.
• Formation of droplets of water in any part of the building.
• Deposits of salt in the form of white stains.
• Wet or damp flooring, walls, ceiling, or roof
• Peeling paintwork
• Mould growth
• Swollen concrete
• Cracks in floors and walls
• Unpleasant smells
