Waterproofing is often overlooked until it’s too late. If you’ve noticed damp spots, peeling paint, or a musty smell, your home might be at risk. These early warning signs can indicate water ingress, which leads to structural damage if not addressed promptly.
Bathrooms and laundries are the most vulnerable. Leaky shower bases, unsealed joints, and poor drainage are common culprits. If water seeps behind walls or under floors, it can weaken timber frames and attract termites — a costly and dangerous outcome for any homeowner.
Roof leaks are another source of concern. Damaged flashing, clogged gutters, or cracked tiles can let water into ceiling cavities. During heavy rain, this may go unnoticed until brown stains or sagging plaster appear. Regular roof inspections and prompt repairs help prevent larger issues.
Even outside areas like balconies and retaining walls need protection. Exposure to the elements makes them prone to water damage over time. Waterproof membranes and proper drainage systems are essential to prolong their lifespan and maintain safety.
