PROSEAL Waterproof Admixtures

GET THE WATER OFF THE BUILDING, FAST! The quicker you get the water off the building, the less chance of it pooling and leaking into the structure. You can do this by increasing slopes wherever possible, which increases the speed of the travel of water on the surface of building. 90% OF WATER INTRUSION OCCURS AT CRITICAL JUNCTIONS Such as the seam between one facade system and another. Today's building systems are complex, and many are proprietary, meaning that the details are worked out by the supplier, not the building designers. In this environment it is essential for the architect or building designers to understand these junctions in great detail to prevent problems. WHEN IT IS NOT A DESIGN FAILURE, WATER INTRUSION OCCURS MAINLY DUE TO INSTALLATION ERROR. These include inadequate surface preparation, improper use of primers, failure to take into account the thermal and wind movements of the structure, or other human errors such as not following the correct installa

Terrace Waterproofing Waterproofing of flat terraces is a tricky problem in building construction, mainly because the surfaces are flat. This means that the water cannot run off the structure quickly, and will move slowly or pool above the surface, creating opportunities for leakage. PROSEAL terrace waterproofing products are recommended Roof Waterproofing Roof Waterproofing is ideal for buildings and structures that are already having leakage or damage as well as for new structures to avoid leakage in future.This process helps in maintaining the life and quality of the building and ensures that there is no damage to the building because of the rains.

Do you know that dampness in building may occur due to bad design, faulty construction and use of poor quality of materials? Dampness not only affects the life of the building but also creates unhygienic conditions of living. The treatment given to prevent leakage of water from roof or terrace is generally termed as water proofing whereas the treatment given to keep the walls, floors and foundation is termed as damp proofing. Defects Caused by Dampness in Building The various defects caused by dampness to building may be summarized as under,eg *It causes efflorescence which may ultimately result in disintegration of blocks, bricks, stones, tiles etc. *It may result in softening and crumbling of plaster. *It may cause bleaching and flaking of paint with the formation of coloured patches. *It may result in the warping, buckling and rotting of door frames *It may lead to the corrosion of metals. *It may cause deterioration to electrical fittings. *It promotes growth of termites. *It creat

When you are waterproofing concrete, blicks and other cement-based surfaces you prolong the life and durability of the structure. Know that keeping water out of concrete is a great step toward better longevity. In most countries, if you have concrete or block structures, it is required by law and building code to waterproof these structures. A high water table,or  flood-prone areas dictate these types of waterproofing codes. In high-rise buildings, all substructures have to be waterproofed. They are load-bearing walls for incredibly heavy complexes and a material breakdown is unacceptable.   It's should be noted that water breaks down concrete, not only does it start looking bad, but it’s also getting weaker. You have probably seen surface damage on walls or old mortar. The concrete erodes, exposing matrix materials and base concrete. In extreme cases, water will destroy concrete quickly, but generally, it takes a few years to start showing. If you see damage on the surface of the

Everyone who builds a property or a structure, whether its a house or any other building, would want to protect their investment and ensure it stays in great condition for as long as possible. After all, you don’t want to waste all your hard-earned money on building something that won’t last long, right? One of the main considerations a property owner and building contractors keeps at the top of their list is protecting the property from the elements, especially water. While water is a precious commodity, it's also a force of nature, it does considerable — sometimes, catastrophic — damages to properties. Now let's understand what waterproofing really is. What is waterproofing? Why is it an important part of securing your home and making it stand the test of time? Waterproofing, at its simplest definition, is treating a surface to protect it from the damages that water could bring. The process helps certain objects become water-resistant or water-repellant that leaves said objec

Why It's Wrong To Construct Foundation In Inappropriate Weather Concrete and cement are extremely durable materials. However, a big part of their eventual strength depends on being allowed to dry properly. Immediately after pouring, cement or concrete foundation needs adequate time to dry. Your contractor will know the exact amount of time needed, since drying or curing times vary depending on the particular mix used. Not giving a foundation adequate time to dry can lead to a host of problems. The foundation will settle, crack, sag and not be able to support as much weight as it would if it had been allowed to dry properly. This is one of the most grevious errors that can be made during the construction of a foundation. Talk to your contractor to ensure that their workers are experienced and knowledgeable. In addition to inadequate drying time, other factors can cause a foundation to dry improperly. The biggest of these factors is the weather. Ideally, a foundation should be poured

Failure to Waterproof foundation Waterproofing your foundation may be single most important factor in retaining its integrity. Most foundations are made of cement or concrete, which is extraordinarily durable but porous. This means that water can penetrate the foundation. Over time, water inside the foundation will contract and expand as it gets colder. Even if you live in an area which does not experience regular cold temperatures, water will still weaken and slowly break down your foundation. Failure to waterproof your foundation is the biggest foundation mistake around, and it’s one that can cost you literally thousands of naira in repairs. If water damage is left unchecked, it can destroy the foundation over time. In extremely severe cases, homes have been demolished because the foundation was unrepairable due to water damage. If you’re constructing a new home, you’re ahead of the game. Tell your contractor that you want your foundation waterproofed. Be aware that some contractors

Talking about  problems, one major challenges that has a major effect on the society is the “dampness” issue. Water and moisture is the main reason behind the dampness in flats or buildings that crops up again and again. If the foundation is set right with correct waterproofing techniques, then dampness would not be a problem to begin with. A lot of people have a major scare in their buildings due to constant dampness. A few kids in the buildings developed fungal infections due to living in wet and humid homes. An elderly person with respiratory troubles may begin to find it difficult to breathe due to the mould growing on the walls home. With everyone’s health being affected , you should decided to hire a waterproofing expert to put an end to the dampness. The simple fact is that cement by nature shrinks over a period of time causing cracks in plaster or concrete is the reason behind chronic dampness and leaks. We advise on the importance of maintaining  water-cement ratio in order to

We mostly to use the terms waterproofing and damp proofing interchangeably, there are significant difference between the two. Waterproofing is far more effective as it keeps water in its various states from crossing a surface, therefore moisture from the soil, water vapour and water under hydrostatic pressure is efficiently barred. Meanwhile, damp proofing only controls water vapour from the soil moisture and will not stop the inflow of liquid water. This is an important difference to appreciate and helps you decide on whether damp proofing can be enough for your foundation or basement especially if you are building in a swampy soil.  Know that damp proofing will only keep the dampness out of your basement or foundation, it cannot prevent water from seeping in through cracks. While waterproofing is effective in preventing water from entering your basement or foundation through any holes or cracks. Since waterproofing materials are more flexible in nature and are applied as a thicker la
