With the rise of technology and exposure, more sophisticated house designs are coming to the fore. A considerable number of individuals and firms are building multiple storey buildings with balconies, decks, basements as well as single storey houses with flat roofs. The number of houses that are constructing decks is also increasing and many individuals are trying flat concrete roofs. However, decks, basements and rooftops made of concrete require water proofing in order to prevent water entering into the building through the deck, walls or otherwise.

Waterproofing can assist in preventing water from entering the structure. It is a process of making objects and structures water resistant. If you build a house that has a balcony, it is most likely that the balcony may need waterproofing to avoid moisture entering the building

The least of things that one would be expecting is mouldy ceilings or else wetness around the inside walls of the house.

One of the most popular methods of waterproofing is torch-on waterproofing, which uses a method of membrane polymers and bitumen which are heated onto the surface to create an impervious layer. Due to its effectiveness, torch-on waterproofing can easily restrict movement and permeability of water into a structure.

The approach to waterproofing will differ depending on the structure and orientation of the building. What is key is ensuring that you get waterproofing experts before the building is damaged.
