Waterproof construction in building | Nuvo Nirmaan

What is Waterproofing?

Waterproofing in buildings is the formation of an impervious barrier over surfaces of roofs to prevent water penetrations. It is the most critical activity during the final finishing of the house. Waterproofing in buildings and structures is generally required for roof, bathroom, toilets, balcony, water tanks, swimming pools and any other area which will be exposed to water.

Importance

Flexible waterproofing membranes perfectly protect walls and floors in basements and bathrooms, on balconies and terraces as well as swimming pools against water and humidity. Such protection is the prerequisite for sustainable and durable construction. If waterproofing fails, then it will impact/damage other elements like painting, plastering and R.C.C. members. That’s why, you should never compromise on quality when it comes to waterproofing.
