Water Seepage- the last thing you would like to Look upto
Home / Knowledge Centre/Water Seepage- The Last Thing You Would Like To Look Upto
Are there damp patches and rust stains on the ceiling of your house? Dampness in the ceiling and upper walls are prevalent in multi-story buildings. This happens due to water penetration through the upper floors that enters the downstairs ceiling. Concrete, being a permeable material, absorbs water and allows it to flow through the surface.
Water seepage causes severe damages to the false ceiling, woodwork and internal metal structures diminishing the structure’s strength, making it a life-threatening problem. The problem worsens when the water starts dripping through the ceiling. Grout spaces between tiles, corners of the wall, junctions between wall and floor as well as cracks are welcoming to water and act like doorways for seepage.
Not only this, but it also gives rise to unhealthy and unhygienic living environments. Moisture is an open invitation to fungus and bad bacteria growth that causes a musty and unpleasant smell in the house. Molds produce allergens that can cause allergic reactions related to the eyes, skin, and respiratory system.
- Water seeps in through unprotected and critical areas like wall joints, grout spaces and corners.
- Water leakage diminishes the building's strength by damaging the woodwork and internal metal structures.
- Moisture causes unhygienic conditions and invites allergic diseases.
