Why It Is Important To Waterproof Your House
Proper waterproofing is a homeowner's first line of defense against gradual structural weakening caused by water seeping into a house from above and below. As a result, waterproofing should be one of the first improvements a homeowner considers, as it is far better, and more cost-effective, to avoid rather than endure a catastrophe in the future.
In order to understand why waterproofing is so important, you need to know what its purpose and function is. Waterproofing is the process of rendering an object resistant to water and can be performed on anything from raincoats to paper milk and juice cartons, but in this article, we are interested in waterproofing as it pertains to housing. Interior and exterior walls, roofs, foundations, basements, pipes, and joints all need sealing and waterproofing of some sort. Waterproofing a house and its fittings it is not simply a case of slapping a fresh coat of paint over the mildew on the bathroom ceiling, or applying marine glue to the spot where the edge of the kitchen sink meets the wall tiles. This is merely covering up the problem, not eliminating it. Home waterproofing, properly done, aims for the long-term prevention and cure of water damage, rather than concealment of damage already done.
So why, then, is waterproofing important? Firstly, it protects your home, and you and your family inside it, from elements like sun, rain and humidity which are harsh and relentless. It is the constant effect of weather on a house that causes damage in the first place, and the implementation of waterproofing measures will go a long way towards minimizing serious structural damage. Waterproofing prevents health problems that arise from the presence of mold spores and damp interior walls, not to mention keeping out all the creepy crawlies that come in through cracks where there is no waterproofing. Waterproofing also protects your possessions from mildew and water damage. A house without adequate waterproofing will continually give you problems and cost more to fix in the long-run, so in this case, prevention of problems caused by water is better than cure, and a bit of expense now can save you a lot of money later. You will also pay more on interior heating and cooling if your house is not properly insulated from the weather outside.
Your home should always be suitably waterproofed for the reasons above, but some houses require more stringent measures than others. Roofs are pitched for a reason – to facilitate water run off – but here and there, a flat roof crops up. If you have a flat roof anywhere on your property, then it is most likely you will need to waterproof it periodically as water collects on flat roofs very easily and seeps in. For houses with basements, waterproofing is a 'must' as water soaks into the walls and moves up by capillary effect. Split-level houses built on earth slopes or mountain-sides also need waterproofing where there is earth on the other side of a wall as the lack thereof can cause walls to be cold and damp, or sweat moisture.
It is a good idea to inspect your house regularly for signs of water damage, inside and out, and not to let small cracks go un-repaired because water will get in, and they will get bigger and require more money and effort to fix in the long run. Peeling or 'bubbling' paint are good indications that water damage has already occurred and that waterproofing needs to be done Also, make sure your gutters are clear and that you have good runoff around the exterior of the house, there should be no pools of stagnant water against, or near to, the base of exterior walls.
