Repairing and waterproofing terraces can be a long, painful method. This blog will help you learn how to manage it with the help of a scientific waterproofing solution – Mahi Innovations.

Harsh weather conditions, wear and tear and climate changes can create deep cracks on terraces & roofs. And if it is not waterproofed or badly constructed, to start with, water is likely to seep through the common joints between the walls as well as the roof and damage interior and exterior walls with dampness.

There is an abundance of makeshift waterproofing solutions available today that offer some quick fixes and old methods of roof waterproofing such as brickbat Coba, plaster, or chemical solution. Although it may bring some temporary relief, heavy rains & temperature fluctuations, it is very likely to result in cracks and seepage very rapidly. Since these temporary solutions only add a film to the plaster and the paint, it is not a lasting, reliable solution.

Choosing the Right Waterproofing For Your Roof

If you are looking for reliable, long-term waterproofing solutions, here is something you need to keep in mind:

#1: Bonding Strength

The bonding strength is significant since it ensures the solution bonds tightly with the roof to offer long-term & effective waterproofing. The membrane can have restricted / non-restricted movement depending on the bonding of the substrate. The bonding strength additionally affects the extent of the flexibility and elasticity of the product.

#2: Crack Bridging

This property decides the ability of a waterproofing solution to overcome damages caused by a crack in the substrate. In case of harsh damage to the roof in form of cracks, crack bridging will help bridge pre-existing cracks as well as prevent them from resurfacing in the future.

#3: Durability

Proper waterproofing solutions last a long time, therefore if dampness and cracks appear on your roof and walls each year even after waterproofing, your approach may need some tweaking. Keeping this in mind, it is significant to make sure you opt for professional waterproofing solutions and products that can provide elongation & last for years to come.

#4: Adhesive properties

This property helps ensures the bonds stay waterproofed and have a good hold, consistently. Even the strongest bonds can easily fall apart when they are exposed to water therefore it is important for a waterproofing product to have a good adhesive property to surfaces.

#5: Heat and UV resistance

In India, the temperature in the summer months can be extremely high, causing serious damage to the roof, heating up the indoors quickly, mainly for people who live on the top floor. Heat and UV resistance make sure that the roof reflects heat, providing energy efficiency & cooler indoors.
