Waterproofing is crucial for the longevity and durability of a building. It acts as a shield and protects the structure against water damage and related issues. Without proper waterproofing, water can leak into the structure, causing mould growth, and deterioration of materials over time. Creating a barrier against moisture preserves the building’s foundations, walls and roof, and prevents structural damage.
Equally as important, waterproofing helps to mitigate health risks associated with mould, and damp, leaky homes. Ensuring a healthy environment will protect the health of its occupants.
Protecting your building will protect your investment and maintaining the value of your property.
