Making a thing resistant to water or impermeable to it involves waterproofing. To safeguard and maintain the sturdiness of the building structure, layers of waterproof construction materials are typically used during construction. Basement rooms, roof rooms, and other damp locations typically have a waterproofing layer. The basement’s walls, floors, and hinges are all points of entry for water.
Buildings in Indonesia, where there is a long rainy season with heavy rainfall, require waterproofing in particular. In Indonesia, in particular, the alternating rainy and hot weather can weaken the structure of a building, which is extremely harmful for the building’s residents and the area around it.
Buildings made of concrete that are frequently exposed to water will gradually deteriorate and, in certain situations, may even fall apart. However, this is typically not recognized because it takes time for the effects of water on these structures’ concrete to become apparent. It is safe to presume that your underlying structure has been impacted if you have seen damage and minute cracks in your concrete surface caused by water.
Apply a coat of waterproofing right away to keep the concrete’s strength and aesthetic appeal. By adding a layer of waterproofing, you ensure that the iron wire mesh that makes up your concrete frame structure is shielded from rusting as a result of water.
