How to Prevent Costly Leaks
Why Early Detection Matters
• Early detection prevents structural damage, 
mould growth, electrical hazards, and high 
repair costs.
Key Signs of Roof Leaks
• Ceiling stains, cracks after rain, peeling paint, 
mould, broken tiles, and damp patches.
Major Causes of Roof Leaks
• Weather stress, ageing materials, poor slope, 
blocked gutters, weak concrete, and lack of 
waterproofing.
Weather Stress & Ageing
• Heat, humidity, and monsoons accelerate 
cracks and surface deterioration.
Drainage & Structural Issues
• Poor slope, blocked drains, damaged flashing, 
and broken tiles cause seepage.
Prevent Roof Leaks Proactively
• Timely inspections, regular cleaning, minor 
crack repairs, and correct materials prevent 
leaks.
Use Durable Materials
• Water-repellent cement like Ambuja Kawach 
enhances roof durability and protection.
Waterproofing & Slope Correction
• Periodic waterproofing and proper slope 
ensure long-term roof safety.
Inspect Joints & Flashing
• Seal parapets, skylights, chimneys, and pipe 
joints to prevent hidden seepage.
Preventive Measures by Roof Type
• RCC slabs, tile roofs, metal roofs, and terraces 
require specific preventive actions.
Ambuja Kawach Advantage
• Advanced SPE technology reduces water 
absorption and improves long-term 
protection.
Conclusion
• Regular maintenance and quality materials 
ensure leak-free, durable roofs.
