FAQ
Common reasons why leakage comes back include:
-Incomplete diagnosis: The original source of the leak may have been misidentified. Water can travel internally before appearing, making the true entry point difficult to detect without thorough inspection.
-Temporary or surface-level repairs: Sealants or patches applied without proper preparation may degrade over time due to heat, moisture, or movement, allowing leaks to reappear.
-Aging or deteriorated materials: Surrounding components such as seals, membranes, joints, or fittings may continue to fail even after one area has been repaired.
-Structural movement or vibration: Buildings and vehicles naturally expand, contract, or flex. If repairs don’t account for this movement, cracks or gaps can reopen.
-Poor workmanship or incorrect materials: Using unsuitable repair materials or improper installation techniques can lead to early failure.
-Blocked drainage paths: Clogged drain channels or water outlets can force water to find new paths, causing leaks to return in the same or nearby areas.

PU Injection is used to stop active leaks and seal internal cracks. Liquid polyurethane is injected into the concrete, where it expands and blocks water pathways from inside the structure. It’s ideal for basements, walls, slabs, and areas where tiles or finishes should not be removed.
Torch-On waterproofing is an external surface membrane system. A heated bitumen sheet is applied to roofs, balconies, and slabs to create a continuous waterproof layer. It’s best for large exposed areas and preventive waterproofing but usually requires surface preparation or tile removal.

Waterproofing can last 5 to 15 years or longer, depending on the type of waterproofing system used, quality of materials, workmanship, and exposure to weather and movement.
Hacking is not always required for waterproofing. It depends on the type of leak, waterproofing method used, and condition of the surface.
Yes, waterproofing can be done during the rainy seasons, but it depends on the method used and the site conditions.
