5 Simple tips for preventing leakages in Mumbai

 

In Mumbai, the basic structure of terrace houses remains the same and all of these leakages can be repaired easily. Once you have identified the leakage, follow these 5 simple tips to prevent it from getting worse. All the tips are cost-effective and easy to understand and implement. If you follow them diligently, you will improve your overall health and living conditions in your house in Mumbai city.

 Five Simple Tips for Preventing Leakage in Mumbai :

1 Clean Downspout Regularly

Downspouts are one of those things that most of us tend to ignore. But they play a vital role in preventing rainwater from damaging our homes. Before it reaches your home, roof water has travelled through miles of downspout pipe. Years of leaves and sediment can build up inside these pipes, ultimately leading to leaks. Clean out your downspouts regularly and you’ll cut back on leaks and dampness inside your home by reducing all that grime that’s built up over time.

 

2) Secure the terrace of the building

The terrace is like a crown of the building. WE need to secure it by doing proper waterproofing as it bears all the brunt of the heat, cold and rain. Envolve a leak detection service to help you to resolve any leakages from the terrace.

 

3) Don’t Let Greenery Overgrow the Home

Trees and plants are a great addition to any property, but make sure that you properly maintain them. Otherwise, overgrown greenery can clog drains and create pools of stagnant water on your terrace or roof, which is a breeding ground for termites and other pests. Stagnated water finally finds its way into our homes.

 

4) Replace Damaged Panels Regularly

Old and damaged terrace panels are one of the most common reasons for leakages. We generally overlook the Panel as it is outside and we tend to keep a check. Any form of rust or peeling can make a way for the water to enter easily. Replacing a panel isn’t always necessary but doing so can keep water out of your home and reduce future repair costs by as much as 50 per cent.

 

5) Over Head Water Tank – Generally, we all overlook the little trickling water which may be due to a small crack in the water tank. We need to understand that water tanks hold huge volumes of water. If these minor cracks are not addressed in time, we may have to undertake major tank waterproofing repairs. Overall this will cause damage to the structure too.

It has by now spread to several locations, there is likely microbial bacteria growth and, in some cases, de-bounded of the plaster surface.

The dampness in walls that have risen to the level of 3’0” height and above needs a -

Threefold solution based on the inspection in wet rooms as follows:

1. 1. 1. Checking all water supply lines using pressure testing gadgets or ultrasonic gadgets.
      2. Inspect all drain lines using a thermal scanner.
      3. Inspecting all tile joints using moisture meter.

Treatment of damp walls based on survey involves solving leakages in plumbing lines.

Water supply and drain, floor tile joint filling.

and

Injection grouting is based on the extent of seepage through open joints and hollowness

within tiled surfaces

And finally, replastering of the affected wall surfaces by removing existing plaster, coating the wall (brick-block) with cementitious polymer coating, providing injection grouting if required and replastering the surface.

 Waterproofing the water tank which holds potable drinking water.

Watch how Tank waterproofing can be done :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d12xbZwtMW0

Water Tanks  be it underground or overhead, are an essential facility in building. The design and construction of water tanks ensure effective use and prevents leakages. As the building ages there is a wear and tear in the structure and water tanks are no exception.

The water tanks hold large quantity of water which is potable and hence it is essential that no external water arising due to rain or sub-soil water should enter the tanks . Also, the water in the tanks should not leak in the outside surface.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d12xbZwtMW0

The absorption of water into the tanks can be prevented by sealing the cracks and joints from outside whereas the inaccessible portion can be sealed by adequate injection grouting. These works are advisable to be carried out by expert waterproofing contractor.

The internal surfaces of the tank are susceptible to the wear and tear due to the constant filling and usage of water on a daily basis. These surfaces viz tank base ,peripheral wata and walls should be cleaned of all loose materials, cracks opened and thorough cleaned and filled with adequate waterproof sealants.

Post crack filling the cementitious coatings should be applied in 2 coats and the tank filled with water for a minimum period of 48 hours to check the effectiveness of the treatment.
