The basics of roof repair and waterproofing

by Nitin Gohil Construction Chemicals Division

There are many problems associated with construction. Some of the problems are caught during the construction process and are rectified on an immediate basis. If the builder neglects the problem even after discovery, the problem would definitely grow and pose threat to the construction in the later period. This is the reason why no construction fault should be left unresolved. However, there are some issues which may not get discovered during the construction process. Such problems are usually caused due to use of substandard quality building materials. If the materials you use during the construction are not of very high quality, it is possible that you would not face any problem during the construction process. However, after a few months, the low quality building material might give way to various issues. One such issue is water seepage and leakage due to use of substandard quality adhesives and tile grouting.

Let us take the instance of roof waterproofingRoof waterproofing refers to the use of adhesives on the flooring of the terrace, so that the water of rain do not seep through the ceiling. However, water leakage problems through the roof are often discovered during the monsoon season. So, if you find signs of water seepage in your walls and floor and discover water dripping from the roof, you must consult with your architect without further delay. This is because it is always advisable to fix these issues as soon as possible. Otherwise, the problems would start worsening, increasing the cost of repair. For example, if your roof has started dripping this monsoon, it would be very economical to fix the issue by arranging for adequate measures as soon as possible. However, it is always advisable to focus on preventing the occurrence of such issue instead of thinking about the solution after the problem starts showing. This can be done if you invest in good quality tile adhesives and other building materials. Most people lay greater emphasis on the economic aspects while shopping for building materials. Economy does matter but it should never be at the cost of quality.

The best thing today is that there are several brands manufacturing quality grouting material. Some of these brands also offer the service of free roof repair if their product fails to protect the roof from water seepage. However, if you want to find such a brand, you need to consult with your architect. You can also consult with your contractor, as he would be able to provide you some practical insights regarding the comparison of various brands of grouting material. Besides, you can search online to find out the reviews of different brands of grout. There are a number of blogs and webzines where you would find information about various brands manufacturing tile adhesives and waterproofing solutions.
