One of the most important aspects of building constructions is the process of waterproofing. Waterproofing is vital as it is the one process that may end up deciding, how long the building in questions withstands external water damage.
Water damage is one of the most common kinds of the damage to affect the building. What is more problematic is that the water damage takes place every year with the advent of the monsoons. Concrete by design is porous and cannot consistently withstand the punishment of the heavy rains. It ends up absorbing a lot of water, which reacts with the metal rods places in the walls of the building, causing them to rust and expand, further damaging the construction. This drastically reduces the shelf-life of the building. You can see that the Victorian Era buildings are able to withstand centuries of wear and tear with minimal refurbishment. This is because they have been built with materials that are not porous and do not absorb a lot of water. This is the exact idea behind waterproofing. Waterproofing helps cover-up the pores in concrete, allowing very little water to seep through it.
There are two major basics of waterproofing: 1) Foundation Waterproofing, and 2) Terrace waterproofing.
Foundation waterproofing must be done before the construction of the building begins. If this process is done shabbily, or not done at all, it would cause a serious threat to the construction of the building. Adding to that is the fact that returning fix this problem with incur costs that are way more than what it would have cost to do the job in the first place.
Good or bad waterproofing of the building, and increase or decrease the life of the building by as much as 20 years.
The Terrace waterproofing, on the other hand must be done after the building has finished construction. Not only must be done in the first year of the buildings construction; this process must be repeated every few years, so as to avoid the complete erosion of the chemical, and leaving the building exposed to the heavy monsoons. The terrace is what takes the greatest brunt of the monsoon rains and hence it is important that it be refurbished from time to time.
