WATERPROOFING

HOME | WATERPROOFING

The sudden appearance of cracks, displacement, leaks, deterioration, and corrosion are all indicators of problems with your existing facade. Your ability to prevent any of these from ever appearing, or to detect them early, will protect you from future repair expenses. Most importantly, eliminating and preventing these issues will help to ensure peak performance of your building’s facade.

1] Water Leakage Testing

There has been a steady increase in demand for services related to evaluating uncontrolled water leakage through the building envelope ( roofs, walls & glazing) , due to the changes & innovations in building façade technology. Diagnostic water leakage testing requires several procedures prior to , during & after actual testing to aid in the selection of test location , methods & ultimately to confirm the results. Procedure involves due diligence ( to gather the history of reported leakage by interviewing occupants or engineering staff) , survey (  close range examination of facade) followed by execution of testing ( pressure method).

VISUAL INSPECTIONS ARE CRITICAL

Visual inspections are critical to the discovery of facade problems. A holistic approach to the prevention of costly repairs starts with an overview of the complete structure. Visually inspect the entire building envelope, roof, walls, basements, building structural systems, and mechanical systems. Making it a routine practice can lead to you identifying the real cause of any problems and preventing further damage and repair expenses.

2] Water Proofing

All Facade designs face challenges in overcoming the need to arrest the leakages at joints with a sealant without compromising the building aesthetics and appearances. Safetech offer solutions to sealing the structural glazing elements and window/door insulation against moisture and other weather exposure. It provides an excellent stability and support over the perimeter of the glazing elements.

External waterproofing protects people from illness or injury & protects the building from damage cause by the redirection of surface water. We provide technical service of water leakage rectification by application of suitable weather proof sealant (silicon filling) or installation of facade element.

Silicone sealant remains one of the most common forms of sealant. It is powerful, flexible and durable. Silicone sealant looks like a tough but flexible rubber, and you will often find it around bathtubs, showers, vents, sinks, windows and even on some roofs.

Silicone sealants keep water out of certain areas, such as cracks and creases in your premises. The sealants can also withstand high temperatures, so you might also find them used for automotive purposes. They come in multiple variations, but you will most likely see them in the form of a caulk gun at any local hardware store.

Other sealants are more powerful than silicone, but the flexibility and durability of silicone sealants make them one of the top choices for the most common sealant needs.
