Houses around the coastal areas like Mumbai, face waterproofing issues rising in rains. During rains the moisture seeps through the exterior walls which are exposed to direct rains and more over humidity levels are high inside too. This results in dampness, peeling of paints and even mold and fungus.
There could be few other reasons also for this dampness:-
1.Rain water splashing from the window.
2.Water from the floor below can slowly seep into the wall.
3.Moisture found in the external wall which are damp throughout the year, can cause this too.
4.Leaky pipes passing the wall from outside.
It’s always advisable to get it checked by experienced waterproofing service provider in Mumbai. As we see in the video ,how the source has been identified, we can see entire portion from the column right up to the wall. We see this moving upward from the skirting to the wall. The source is from the outside which is more intense in the rains. As these are internal walls of the building which don’t receive much sunlight and so it takes almost 6/7 months to dry by then the rains are back again.
Solution for the problem, to solve the problem from the source ,as we see the dampness inside the walls due to which we can see molds which produce gases called MVOC( microbial volatile organic compound) which have a musty smell which is more prominent in the rainy season. These grow inside the wall and under the carpets.
Damp Patches ultimately affect the health of your walls and your love ones too. In this Covid-19 Pandemic time it is more dangerous as a little cough also raises our worries.
We need to get the work from the source. Firstly need to clean up the entire surface and then treat it with Chemical from the Chaja outside moving upward. After that we need to do a priming so that there is no further in grace of water.
