Where does dampness in home come from?
Dampness can enter from any part of the home. It can enter through the roof and the walls, and spread quickly throughout the home. It can even enter from the foundation of the home, and then spread through the walls.
How does dampness affect the strength of your home?
Dampness causes corrosion of steel and formation of cracks in RCC, which reduce the strength of the structure. This makes the structure of the home hollow and weak from inside, eventually affecting its durability. Unfortunately, by the time dampness is visible, the damage is already done!
Why is Preventive Solution better in safeguarding home from dampness?
Dampness is like an incurable disease which makes your home hollow and weak from inside. Once dampness enters, it is impossible to get rid of it. The thin layer of waterproofing coat, paint or distemper peel off soon and do not offer long-lasting protection against dampness. Despite being expensive and inconvenient, replastering and repainting provide only temporary relief to you. Hence, it is prudent to use a preventive solution to protect the strength of your home from dampness.
