While we care for our homes and adorn it with the best, it is essential to look out for and rectify any potential leakages that may hinder the beauty of it in future. MV Constructions Waterproofing Solutions is one of the best ways to prevent potential leaks in your home.
Waterproofing is usually required by building codes for structures that are built at or below ground level. Waterproofing and drainage considerations are especially important in cases where ground water is likely to build up in the soil or where there is a high water table.
Water in the soil causes hydrostatic pressure to be exerted underneath basement floors and walls. This hydrostatic pressure can force water in through cracks, which can cause major structural damage as well as mold, decay, and other moisture-related problems.
Water tanks, STPs and ETPs are directly exposed to water, contaminants, and chemicals. To protect the concrete from water ingress and harmful chemicals, MV Constructions has developed a waterproofing system that is combined with chemical resistant coatings. For water tanks, a waterproofing coating is applied over the concrete surface followed by protection plasters and chemical-resistant, food-grade epoxy coatings. Coal tar epoxy is used for STP/ETP tanks.
The concrete surface of podiums is expected to withstand the stress of being exposed to weather conditions, decorative features such as planters and pavers and heavy vehicular movement. Thus, in order to achieve durability, effective surface protection and waterproofing are necessary.
The large span of the podium surface allows higher exposure to weather elements and increased vibrations to vehicular movement, requiring the waterproofing system to be flexible, durable and of high quality.
Unlike toddlers, plants cannot soil themselves, so gardeners need to maintain careful control over their plants’ soil nutrients and pH levels. Concrete leeches alkaline, which creates a “sweet soil,” or alkaline soil, with a pH level above 7. This high pH level blocks nutrient access and stunts the plants’ growth, which waterproofing the concrete planers will prevent. Gardeners strive for acidic or neutral soil to ensure their plants keep growing and appearing healthy.
Dehydration is a very real problem when the planters aren’t waterproofed. After all, concrete is highly porous, so the moisture in the soil just seeps out via the concrete pores and evaporates quickly, dehydrating the plants’ roots.
Toilets and Bathrooms are the most common root to leakage problem especially in older houses. Over time waterproofing membrane in the cement ground breakdown or worn out usually from cleaning or showering. Water sips through between the tiles and might sometimes cause water damage to the ceiling below or neighboring wall. The most common problem found is ceiling drop off due to wet cement or paint starting to peel off or change in colour.
In order to waterproof swimming pools, it is recommended to use epoxy-cement systems as they create a solid barrier against counter pressure as well as a resistant layer. Solvent-free elastic waterproofing resins protect the surface in a great way, preserving it from the aggressive action of chlorine and atmospheric agents.
The protection of buildings from the damages caused by water is very important for their “health”. It is also fundamental to waterproof the horizontal and vertical surfaces of swimming pools and pools in general (often made of reinforced concrete) so that the structures can remain waterproofed and perfectly efficient over time.
Terraces are the first point of contact with rain and if the water stays on it then the last one too. So it is very important to provide a proper slope to your terrace and a sufficient number of water outlets. Apart from this, a thorough waterproofing of the terrace helps in avoiding lots of future expenses.
The best way to make your terrace waterproof is during the construction as this allows the materials to bond in an easier way. The cracks caused due to expansion and contraction of concrete can be reduced considerably by cement additives which give waterproofing abilities to concrete and also resist corrosion in steel bars. Using compound like MV Constructions exactly does this, along with increased workability of mortar which reduces the rebounds loss resulting in saving time & money.
Overhead water tanks are often a source of leakage through the ceiling. The water from these tanks can enter the slab, beams, columns or brick work of the total building and damage the structure as a whole. Thus it is important to prevent such leakage using our comprehensive waterproofing range.
