Why is waterproofing homes important, and how is it applied?
Waterproofing could sound like a daunting task, and the cost of the process also seems to affect your budget. But prevention is always better than cure. It is a long-term investment that prevents and protects your property value in good living conditions.
Waterproofing the walls gives complete protection to all these seepages. It will stop the existing seepage and prevent water damage from occurring, promoting a stronger structure for the building.
- Health Considerations: Waterproofing helps in preventing leaks and moisture, both of which can cause problems with indoor air quality and health issues like respiratory disorders. Mold growth in damp environments can exacerbate these issues.
- Property Values: Adding or preserving waterproofing to a property can help it retain its value. Effective waterproofing systems increase a building’s resistance to weather-related damage, giving occupants and investors peace of mind.
- High Humidity: Singapore’s high humidity levels can cause condensation and moisture accumulation, which can foster the growth of mold and mildew. Waterproofing decreases the likelihood of these issues by building a barrier against moisture.
But how do you waterproof your homes?
There are different types of waterproofing solutions; some of them are:
- Bitumen membrane
Mixing bitumen with elastomeric polymers creates a bitumen membrane, which is a mixture of the polymers to increase durability and the ability of the membrane to withstand tear and wear. It is versatile, easy to apply, and recommended for commercial and residential buildings.
- PVC Waterproofing membrane
This membrane is one of the most common waterproofing products for external walls and roofs. It is both water and vapor permeable, durable, and has a long lifespan.
- Cementitious membrane coating
The cementitious method is a mixture of sand, dry cement, and liquid latex with a specific quantity of water, and they can start the installation work by applying it to the surface with a brush, roller, or trowel. The disadvantage is the lack of flexibility in the coating. However, it’s only for areas that are not highly exposed to weather and sunlight.
- Polyurethane membrane
Polyurethane is one of the best waterproofing materials. Its application is seamless, and it penetrates the surface deeply and evenly. The polyurethane membrane will fill in even the finest cracks in concrete, reducing its water absorbency.
Headline News Hit Singapore: “New banding system to rate condo developers and builders on construction workmanship”
Homebuyers who want to gauge the level of workmanship of condominium projects can now check out a new banding system that ranks developers and builders according to their track record for the past six years.
The banding is based on the Construction Quality Assessment System (CONQUAS), a framework established in 1989 to assess construction workmanship. It tests for major defects that can affect liveability, including wall tiles popping off and water leakage.
The portal currently contains the CONQUAS banding of 110 developers and 76 builders, covering 350 private residential projects completed in the past six years as well as projects undergoing assessments. The plan is to update it monthly by adding assessments of new projects.
