How Seepage/Moisture effected on
wall
Structure
dampness is the presence of unwanted moisture in the structure of a building
either the result of intrusion from outside or condensation from within the
structure.
Dampness
tends to cause secondary damage to a building. Unwanted moisture enables
the growth of various fungi.
Health effect of
structure damp:
Health
concerns around mould include infection. Another health effect associated with
structural dampness is the presence of bacteria in an indoor environment.
Bacteria
require water to grow and multiply and certain species can cause disease
species can cause disease in humans thus the instruction of thus the intrusion
of water into an indoor environment can place the health of occupants at risk
from bacterial infections.
Rising damp:
Rising damp
is the common term from absorption of water in the lower sections of walls and
other ground supported structures by
capillary action.
Rising damp
occurs when groundwater travels upwards porous building materials such as
brick, sandstone or mortar.
Seepage Solution:
The first
step in foundation sanitary engineering is to identify the source of the leak
in your wet basement. This can usually be accomplished by consulting with the
homeowner to determine how, when and where the problem occurs. If the basement
is unfinished, diagnosis is much easier because water leaves a trail. rest
assure however as our basement advisors are also well trained to help you find
the source of the problem in a finished basement seepage solution Pune, seepage
solution Mumbai.
What is the Solution for Wall Dampness & Moulds?
The solution is simple to find the root cause of the wall leakage or dampness or
Moulds. Painting or applying some waterproofing chemicals on the affected area
won't solve the problem, it will still pop up after some months. So it's
essential to fix the root cause. There are many scientific approaches to find
the areas which held excessive moisture, Identifying those areas helps us to
effectively tackle these mould issues. As we discussed above the high moisture
content, water leaks are all factors for these Wall paint to peel off or wall
dampness.
The ideal approach to identify the root cause is by conducting a Thermographic
survey. A Thermographic survey is a collection of photographs taken by a thermographic camera which shows the temperature of the building as well as
areas of the building having water content or concentration.
Water Tightening?
Let’s simply
explain with the help of a water bottle, if you have not tightened the cap
properly, naturally, the opening of the bottle will leak, so what can we do?
You will apply a little more strength to close the cap firmly; so that the
leakage stops. Water tightening is the same process what we implement, with the help of a Thermographic Camera, we can find out the source of water leakage in
your home and fixing the leakage source is called Water Tightening so that you
will NEVER face the leakage problem again.
So now you can
identify the difference between Water Proofing and Water Tightening? Yes, both are different
techniques for fixing the leakage problem with waterproofing chemicals, whereas
Water Tightening fixes the root cause.
