What are the signs that my home needs waterproofing?
What are the signs that my home needs waterproofing?
At Kalumane Infrabuild, we often find that homeowners delay waterproofing until visible damage appears. But early signs can help you act before it becomes costly. Here are the key indicators that your home needs waterproofing:
1. Damp Walls and Peeling Paint:
If you notice your interior or exterior walls feeling damp, or see paint bubbling, peeling, or flaking, it’s often due to trapped moisture—an early sign of water ingress.
2. Wall Cracks:
Hairline cracks on walls, especially near corners or ceilings, allow water to seep in slowly. These cracks often worsen during the rainy season.
3. Water Stains and Discoloration:
Yellowish or brown patches on ceilings and walls suggest long-term moisture buildup. These stains indicate that water is penetrating from the terrace, roof, or upper floor.
4. Mold or Musty Smell:
A persistent musty odor or visible mold/fungus on walls or bathroom tiles points to hidden dampness—affecting both structure and indoor air quality.
5. Efflorescence (White Chalky Deposits):
If you see white, powdery substances on walls or bricks, it means water is dissolving salts from the building materials—another sign of water penetration.
6. Swollen Wood or Rusting Metal:
Swollen wooden doors, corroded window frames, or rusting metal grills are common in areas exposed to hidden leaks.
At Kalumane Infrabuild, we specialize in proactive waterproofing solutions—from terrace to basement, using high-grade materials and trained experts. Early detection and timely waterproofing can protect your structure, health, and investment.
