Terrace waterproofing is crucial to protect buildings from water-related damage caused by rain, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. Here’s why it's necessary:
- Prevents Water Leakage:
Without waterproofing, rainwater can seep through the terrace slab and cause ceiling leaks in the rooms below.
- Avoids Structural Damage:
Water ingress can corrode steel reinforcements in concrete, weakening the structure over time.
- Stops Mold & Dampness:
Moisture can lead to mold, mildew, and damp patches on interior walls and ceilings, which affects health and aesthetics.
- Enhances Longevity:
Waterproofing extends the life of the terrace surface and the entire building by protecting it from weather-induced wear and tear.
- Energy Efficiency:
Proper waterproofing can improve insulation, helping maintain indoor temperatures and reducing energy costs.
- Reduces Maintenance Costs:
Addressing water damage later is often more expensive than preventive waterproofing.
