Here we have tried to explain the importance of parapet wall waterproofing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These days we have observed that many of the waterproofing applicators &amp; vendors have adopted shortcuts to get the project or complete the work early. Also, it has been observed that such vendors\/applicators try to take advantage of the lack of technical knowledge of the customers. This is definitely not the long-term waterproofing solution as they are focusing on terrace <a href=\"https:\/\/aapkapainter.com\/services\/waterproofing-service\">waterproofing<\/a> while neglecting an important area of the terrace i.e., the parapet wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we are already aware that concrete is formed through the combination of different materials like cement, fine aggregate (sand), coarse aggregate (stone), and water. One of the vulnerable properties of concrete in terms of waterproofing is that concrete has a lot of air gaps between its molecules which makes concrete porous in nature, hence easily exposed to water seepage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at parapet wall waterproofing in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Parapet_Wall_Waterproofing\"><\/span><strong>Parapet Wall Waterproofing<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The parapet wall is also made of concrete and with due course of time, there are always a few cracks formed on it. During rain, the water enters the parapet wall through these cracks or by directly getting absorbed by the concrete surface. This seeped-in water then travels down in a vertical direction due to gravity and inside the horizontal slab surface resulting in seepage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have formulated three different cases for easy understanding of the concept:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Surface_without_waterproofing_%E2%80%93\"><\/span>Surface without waterproofing \u2013 <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With due course of time, the terrace and the parapet wall both develop cracks because of which the water seeps inside the building resulting in seepage\/dampness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the above image, it can be seen that cracks have formed on both the parapet wall as well as the terrace\/roof horizontal slab resulting in seepage of water<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The water has entered into the terrace slab through the cracks formed in the parapet wall and on the horizontal surface resulting in the seepage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Waterproofing_on_horizontal_surfaces_only_%E2%80%93\"><\/span><strong>Waterproofing on <\/strong>horizontal surfaces only \u2013 <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This method is generally adopted by local waterproofing vendors in order to reduce their quotation, claiming that the work has been done by them at a lower cost. If the waterproofing is done only on the terrace slab and not on the parapet wall, it still results in the failure of the waterproofing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the above figure, the waterproofing has been done only on the horizontal surface of the terrace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It indicates that even though the crack on the horizontal surface is filled and waterproofing to the terrace slab is applied, the waterproofing has failed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason for the waterproofing failure is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The cracks on the parapet wall are left unattended<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The water is absorbed by the parapet wall as there is no waterproofing layer to obstruct it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>It means, that even if the crack filling is done on the parapet wall, seepage will still take place, as the water will be getting absorbed by the parapet wall due to the unavailability of any barrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Proposed_Solution\"><\/span><strong>Proposed Solution<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our comprehensive waterproofing solution begins from the terrace slab down to the parapet walls for full protection against seepage. Therefore, we ensure creating a strong barrier by waterproofing inside and outside parts of the parapet walls, which are very liable to seepage from any side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our technique repairs the cracks and applies waterproofing not only to the horizontal surface but also to the parapet walls, as shown in this image, which can give zero seepage. It might be a little more costly initially, though the benefits will last much longer and be worth the additional cost, compared to conventional methods of waterproofing on a horizontal surface for maintenance-free terraces or roofs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_to_Consider_in_Waterproofing_Membrane_for_Parapet_Walls\"><\/span>Things to Consider in Waterproofing Membrane for Parapet Walls<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Waterproofing membranes protect parapet walls from water infiltration. They lay a protective layer to block seepage that may destroy the structural elements of your home parapet. While choosing a membrane, look for durability, UV resistance, and compatibility with the parapet roof materials. Proper parapet wall waterproofing ensures longevity and prevents costly repairs.
