 Living in a house that has seepage problems can be hell.

Not only does it ruin the look of your walls, ceiling, and floor; serious seepage problems compromise the strength of the structure.

It is an indication of bad quality of work.

 The building components which are most prone to seepage are:

Walls, ceiling, basement, floor, window and door lintels, etc.

In this article, we will tell you how to protect your house from seepage and make your home seepage-proof.

The main causes of the basement, seepage are floor cracks, cove seepage (the place where floor and wall meet), concrete wall cracks, mortar joint, or masonry seepage.

To fix the problem of floor cracks and cove joints, one should have a proper interior drain system, so that water has somewhere else to go.

To repair wall cracks the best solution is to insert expanded polyurethane or fill the crack with sodium bentonite clay.

To repair seepage in mortar joints and masonry seepage, as blocks are porous by nature, one needs to have a waterproofing membrane in place.

 In walls, the main sources of seepage are grout and cracks in the bathroom and kitchen tiles which result in the seepage of water which causes dampness to adjacent walls.

 In the bathroom, the seepage could also be because of leaking pipes.

Seepage in walls could also be due to external rainwater.

The best solution to treating seepage in walls caused due to cracks in the bathroom and kitchen tiles is by filling the grout and thus restricting the passage of water.

One can also fill the crack using sealing agents.

This is the method that is used for cracks in the floor to prevent seepage.

Seepage in walls caused due to rain is also caused due to cracks.

The cracks need to be filled to stop the dampness.

The gaps between window frames and walls should also be covered filled by an agent.

 To treat the dampness in-wall, the looser plaster should be removed and if the dampness is very serious then the plaster should be removed till the bricks are exposed. The bricks should be treated with waterproofing chemicals.

After that mortar mixed with waterproofing admixtures should be used for plastering and finally after the base is prepared, the painting should be done.

The cracks in roofs should also be filled in and sealing agents should be used.

Water The logging issue on the roof should be addressed.

A waterproofing membrane could be laid down before the flooring of the roof is done, to ensure that no seepage occurs.

The best way to prevent seepage is to ensure that good waterproofing measures are in place which are designed and set according to the requirement of the project and the local environment of the location of the project.

If seepage has occurred it should be treated immediately and adequate waterproofing measures should be taken up.

This way the house would become seepage and you won’t dread the coming rains or the groundwater level troubling your basement.

Living in a house that has seepage problems can be hell.
