How Seepage/Moisture effected on wall
Structure dampness is the presence of unwanted moisture in the structure of a building either the result of intrusion from outside or condensation from within the structure.
Dampness tends to cause secondary damage to a building. The unwanted moisture enables the growth of various fungi.
Health effect of structure damp:
Health concerns around mould include infection. Another health effect associated with structural dampness is the presence of bacteria in an indoor environment.
Bacteria require water to grow and multiply and certain species can cause disease species can cause disease in humans thus the instruction of thus the intrusion of water into an indoor environment can place the health of occupants at risk from bacterial infections.
Rising damp:
Rising damp is the common term from absorption of water in the lower sections of walls and other ground supported structures by capillary action.
Rising damp occurs when groundwater travels upwards porous building materials such as brick, sandstone or mortar.
Seepage Solution:
The first step in foundation sanitary engineering is to identify the source of the leak in your wet basement. This can usually be accomplished by consulting with the homeowner to determine how, when and where the problem occurs. If the basement is unfinished, diagnosis is much easier because water leaves a trail. rest assure however as our basement advisors are also well trained to help you find the source of the problem in a finished basement seepage solution Pune, seepage solution Mumbai.
What is the Solution for Wall Dampness & Moulds?
The solution is simple to find the root cause of the wall leakage or dampness or Moulds. Painting or applying some waterproofing chemicals on the affected area won't solve the problem, it will still pop up after some months. So it's essential to fix the root cause. There are many scientific approaches to find the areas which held excessive moisture, Identifying those areas helps us to effectively tackle these mould issues. As we discussed above the high moisture content, water leaks are all factors for these Wall paint to peel off or wall dampness.
The ideal approach to identify the root cause is by conducting a Thermographic survey. A Thermographic survey is a collection of photographs taken by a thermographic camera which shows the temperature of the building as well as areas of the building having water content or concentration.
Water Tightening?
Let’s simply explain with the help of a water bottle, if you have not tightened the cap properly, naturally, the opening of the bottle will leak, so what can we do? You will apply a little more strength to close the cap firmly; so that the leakage stops. Water tightening is the same process what we implement, with the help of a Thermographic Camera, we can find out the source of water leakage in your home and fixing the leakage source is called Water Tightening so that you will NEVER face the leakage problem again.
So now you can identify the difference between Water Proofing and Water Tightening? Yes, both are different techniques for fixing the leakage problem with waterproofing chemicals, whereas Water Tightening fixes the root cause.
