Waterproofing is the creation of a "barricade" over the surfaces of structures, roofs, walls, and building foundations. It works as a barrier by preventing water from penetrating these surfaces. Wet areas are typically those with sanitary fixtures or those that are exposed to high moisture, rain, or water. Laundries (a house's washing area), backyards, roofs, balconies, windows, bathrooms, and even kitchens are examples of such spaces.

Why Is Wet Area Waterproofing Such An Important Process?
Waterproofing “wet area waterproofing” is the creation of a
"barricade" over the surfaces of structures, roofs, walls, and
building foundations. It works as a barrier by preventing water
from penetrating these surfaces. Wet areas are typically those
with sanitary fixtures or those that are exposed to high
moisture, rain, or water. Laundries (a house's washing area),
backyards, roofs, balconies, windows, bathrooms, and even
kitchens are examples of such spaces.

When Is Waterproofing Necessary?
Waterproof materials, as opposed to water resistant materials that control and
limit moisture, do not allow any water or moisture to seep through at all.
Waterproofing wet areas at home entails applying a waterproofing membrane
to ensure that no water or moisture leaks out of your wet areas and into the
rest of your home.

The Advantages Of Waterproofing Your Home
Roof waterproofing ensures that your walls will remain in good condition for a
long time. Other advantages of a good waterproofing solution include:
• Less chance of cracking on concrete walls and floors.
• Elimination of seepage in walls and ceilings
• Lower your home's maintenance costs
• Reduced corrosion of walls and metal surfaces
• Increased resale value of your home
• A healthy environment that promotes the occupants' health.

Waterproofing
Waterproofing is essential if you own a home because
it is unavoidable that some parts of your home will
come into contact with water. If adequate precautions
are not taken, it is only a period of time before
something begins to leak. And if the leak goes
undetected for an extended period of time, the house
may sustain damage. Mold growth, which can be
harmful to people with respiratory problems like
asthma, "concrete cancer," in which the steel
reinforcing the concrete begins to rust, causing it to
displace and eventually weaken the building's
foundations, decaying of wood/ timber flooring or
structures, corrosion of plumbing, and even
compromising the electricity or other electrical
appliances at home are examples of such damages.

What’s The Point Of Waterproofing Your Home?
Aside from preventing the aforementioned damages, waterproofing
your home can help to prevent leaks and provide a watertight seal,
preventing any water from leaking. Furthermore, it may even increase
the value of your property, whereas a poorly waterproofed property
will decrease in value and turn off any potential future buyers.

Prepare The Waterproofing Surfaces
Any surface that requires waterproofing
must first be prepared. This includes
repairing the source of the leak or
seepage and sanding rough and uneven
patches for a smooth finish. Another
critical step is to clean the area to be
waterproofed. This ensures that the
waterproofing solutions adhere to the
surface and provide maximum protection.

Waterproofing Contractor
You should contact a waterproofing contractor as soon as you notice a water leak as a
homeowner. Waterproofing is a low-cost service that offers a long-term solution to water
leaks.
Organix Building System, as your dependable waterproofing contractor, is committed to
resolving all of your water leaks. High Pressure PU Injection Grouting is one of the many
repair methods we frequently recommend. Injection of PU at High Pressure Grouting is the
injection of a liquid grouting material under pressure into a structure. During the grouting
process, fissures (openings or lines of breakage in structures caused by cracking or
splitting) and pores are filled with grouting material, which hardens and connects the
disintegrated surfaces. Injection of PU at High Pressure Grouting can help to completely
fill the cracks because after the injection, the foam expands to fill the entire space of each
crack. This fullness provides complete coverage and protection against water seepage.
