Our home is our safe space, and it should make us feel secure, especially during the rainy season. That is why it is important to make your house waterproof. Here are three things you should discuss with your contractor to make your house safe from leakage and waterproof.

Proper Waterproofing in Key Areas

During the planning stage, make sure to inform your contractor that you want your house to be waterproofed. This will help them identify the specific areas where waterproofing materials need to be applied. Some of the key areas include the following:

• Exterior walls and firewalls

• Roof decks and balconies

• Bathrooms and wet areas

Sloping and Drainage Design

Ensure that roofs, balconies, and floors are properly sloped to prevent water pooling. It’s also important to have sufficient drainage outlets placed in strategic locations to efficiently direct water away from the structure.

Sealants and Joint Protection

Make sure your contractor properly seals all vulnerable areas such as window and door frames, expansion joints, and pipes or utility penetrations. Using high-quality sealants in these sections is essential to prevent water from seeping into your home and causing long-term damage.
