Swimming Pool
For a structure like a swimming pool to last many years and not require constant repair, it is essential to ensure that its structure is waterproofed promptly. The walls and the ground of a swimming pool are subjected to various penetrations such as inlets, skimmers throats, lighting fixtures, cleaning systems, and more. In addition to all this, the constant water pressure can lead to frustrating leaks, and hence concrete shells must be sealed to ensure they hold the water. It is, therefore, imperative to apply a waterproofing system in the pools of hotels, clubs, or large societies to hold the water and enable everyone to enjoy a swim without any interruptions. Waterproofing plays a crucial role in sealing the construction and assuring its long life. Water places heavy loads on the swimming pool structure and is an aggressive factor for its frame and all materials used in its construction. There are two types of Swimming pools, Enclosed and Open, and waterproofing varies depending on the structure. Our skilled team has the expertise to both and provide solutions.
Rising Dampness
Dampness in the building may occur due to bad design, faulty construction, and the use of poor-quality materials. The issue with rising damp is that it often goes on inside walls undetected for a long time, slowly damaging the structure of buildings. Early visible signs of increasing dampness may be subtle enough not to raise the alarm of the property owner until the extent of the problem is evidenced by deteriorating stumps, footings, masonry, and building bricks.
Rising dampness can also be identified by a characteristic whitish powdery tide mark (Efflorescence) on the lower section of affected walls. This tide mark is caused by salt being brought through to the surface by the effects of evaporation. These salts accumulate at the “peak” of the rising dampness. This dampness affects the life of the building and creates unhygienic conditions for the critical items of work in the construction of a building, making prompt treatment necessary.
The treatment given to prevent water leakage from the roof is generally termed waterproofing, whereas the treatment given to keep the walls, floors, and basement dry is termed damp proofing. With respect to damp proofing, it will only keep the dampness out of your basement or foundation but cannot prevent water from seeping in through cracks. However, waterproofing effectively prevents water from entering your basement through any holes or cracks. Hence, it is far more effective in keeping water in its various states from crossing a surface, which means moisture from the soil, water vapor, and water under hydrostatic pressure is efficiently barred. Therefore, quality waterproofing can be the difference between a substantial, long-lasting, healthy home and one that constantly requires repair and maintenance.
Rising damp problems often occur because a Damp-Proof Course (DPC) has not been installed. We specialize in providing solutions for this by injecting our own Penetrating Water Repellent (PWR) chemical into the wall, creating a Damp Proof Course (DPC). This barrier prevents moisture from seeping up through capillary action, protecting the brickworks from further damage caused by rising dampness. In addition, we can offer you long-lasting solutions with our experienced expertise.
Windows Waterproofing
Windows is a fundamental structure. While keeping the dirt and rain outside is the primary function of windows, if the integrity of your window glazing is compromised, then you may experience many problems that could have been avoided with proper window waterproofing.
Windows Waterproofing is essential for the below reasons-
- To prevent water damage and potential mold from the dampness to the property.
- Since insects are attracted to water and like to enter buildings through small cracks and crevices, it is a good idea to waterproof your windows to ensure there are no open cracks for creatures to join in.
- Window waterproofing can help lower your monthly energy bill by reducing the heating and cooling of your building.
We, at AidasaniZ, can cater to all your needs by providing specialized solutions for your requirement.
Bungalows
Concrete is a highly porous material subject to water damage and deterioration without waterproofing. Water rusts the chloride ions found within reinforced concrete structures, which causes the ions to expand and the concrete to spall or crumble.
Waterproofing your structure acts as a preventive measure against a lot of issues that could arise later: –
- Prevents The Onset of Health Problems- When water and moisture find their way and seep into your ceilings and walls, it can result in the build-up of mildew and mold. This mold and mildew growth will create spores, resulting in various health problems.
- Protects your assets and belongings- As preventive risk management of any structure, it is crucial to have the right waterproofing solutions to protect assets and occupants. If done incorrectly, it can damage the property and valuables.
- Cost-effective- Any structure requires regular maintenance to protect it from damage caused by water, and roof waterproofing is an effective preventive measure.
- Increased durability-Waterproofing helps seal a new construction site early, which has been found to promote long-term durability of the structure. In addition, the measures are taken help reduce the moisture in the interior of the building, providing a stronger foundation for the design.
While waterproofing your home often makes you feel like a daunting task, prevention is always better than cure. It is best to think of it as a long-term investment that makes money during the building’s lifetime.
