Waterproofing is the process of making a building or structure resistant to water intrusion. It protects surfaces like roofs, bathrooms, balconies, basements, and swimming pools from water damage, mold, and leaks. Proper waterproofing extends the lifespan of your property and prevents costly repairs.
The lifespan depends on the materials used and maintenance. On average, waterproofing can last between 5 to 15 years. Regular inspections and timely repairs can extend the durability of waterproofing.
Yes, waterproofing can be applied to both new and existing buildings. Surface preparation like cleaning and repairing cracks is essential before applying waterproofing layers to ensure effectiveness.
The duration varies based on project size and type. Small areas like bathrooms may take 1-2 days, while larger areas such as rooftops may require several days to complete, including drying time.
