Last 05 years I could observe so many failures in waterproofing membranes. Most of the failures are in domestic. And also, there are so many reasons I could find, why it failed. Here I have listed all 17 reasons and solutions in detail reasons for waterproofing failure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

People follow the method statement from the product and cover the surface with coatings or membranes. But they don’t know whether it is good for the purpose. Although following the method statement, you are not able to apply to waterproof properly. Because it needs an experienced skill. So let’s see in-depth waterproofing failures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

01. Poor Workmanship <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Waterproofing<\/strong><\/a> is a bit costly process. Some materials are high cost, and some are cheap. Whatever is used, waterproofing will not depend on the material only. It is highly dependent on the workmanship. 90% of problems are occurring due to poor workmanship. Some people try to follow the method statement, but buying the product is mostly unsuccessful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason is selecting the material according to the surface and user experience. Each and every material are specified for each work. We can’t do all waterproofing using one compound. The surface, purpose, site condition, durability, and many more factors should be considered. These come with the experience. So better way to prevent failure is to hire an experienced person for the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you hire a constructor, you should know about the waterproofing warranty<\/a><\/strong>. It will explain everything about claiming, include and excluded that you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

02. Choosing the Wrong Membrane<\/h2>\n\n\n

Membranes<\/strong><\/a> select internal or external surfaces to form a barrier that prevents water from penetrating through the structure. When selecting the membrane, you should know the surface and site conditions that you have to work for. And also make sure the waterproofing method is suitable for you. When selecting products, it is better to ask someone who has already used them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you select the membranes for the waterproofing method, check if there is any product that you have to use parallel, as an example, there are some primers you should use with the membranes. Probably some products are incompatible with the membrane with other products due to this debonding is result. If you did not use the same product of the same company, it might be a reason for your waterproofing failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the membrane waterproofing is done is large areas. So it is better you should know about 10 Best Building Waterproofing Methods? \u2013 Tested In Site<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

03. De-Bonding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

De-bonding is less bonding with the membrane and the structure. When you use different products that are not compatible well and de-bonding is occurred. Always follow international standards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
