RE-WATERPROOFING – AN INVESTMENT FOR PROPERTY VALUE GROWTH
21.07.2023 | Refurbishment Solutions

 

Wall cracks, mould and rust in a building are more than just an eyesore. They are symptoms of a sick building caused by water damage. Left unattended, the water will penetrate into the building and cause severe damages that may be irreversible.

The first water leaking point is from the rooftop, especially when it is flat and made of concrete, where the chance of water ponding and seepage is higher. Therefore, the design of the drainage system of a building’s rooftop is crucial in preventing water leaking.

However, re-waterproofing of the rooftop and all other parts of the building structure from time to time is equally important. Like how vitamins fortify your health, regular maintenance and proper re-waterproofing strengthens the sustainability of a building. This measure helps to ensure hassle-free maintenance work in the long run.

Besides avoiding water seepage, re-waterproofing is important to extend the lifespan and enhance the appearance of a building. Thus, just like how spending on nutritional food to ensure the body’s well-being, re- waterproofing is a vital investment in safeguarding the value of your property.

Nippon SM Bitumen M4000 is highly resistant against water, vapour pressure, high heat and puncture resistance. Its excellent mechanical strength, elasticity and durability provide an economical efficient waterproofing solution to RC flat roof.

For interior and exterior waterproofing applications on other parts of the building such as wall and those above ground areas, new and old RC flat roofs, metal roof terraces, balconies and walkways, the Nippon LM PUSIL is a great choice. Its rapid moisture cure with surrounding environment to form elastomeric seamless waterproof membrane, which offers excellent waterproofing performance with high resistance to both positive and negative water pressure.

Nippon LM PUSIL is also free from solvents and isocyanate, non-hazardous and extremely low volatile organic compounds (VOC). Another advantage is that it can be applied at various substrates and under practically any conditions such as cold days and on damp surfaces.

Certainly, our buildings should not be left to counter the harsh elements of nature or undetected defects of water leakage, without being armed with the right protection. After all, they most likely cost a lifetime’s savings and house your lives and your loved ones.
