Waterproofing Internal Wet Areas

Within any residential or commercial property, certain areas are more susceptible to water damage due to frequent exposure to water or moisture. These areas, often referred to as "internal wet areas," include bathrooms, kitchens, and showers. To extend the lifespan of these areas and prevent water damage, it is advisable to use a waterproofing solution, such as the Lotus High Performance Liquid Membrane provided by Advanced Roofing Technologies.

The Significance of Waterproofing Wet Areas

Waterproofing forms a protective layer over surfaces like floors, walls, and the foundations of a building, preventing water penetration. Unlike water-resistant materials that merely limit moisture, waterproofing materials like LOTUS High Performance Liquid Membrane provide a barrier that prevents any water or moisture from seeping through.

Why Waterproof Your House?

In addition to preventing damages like mold growth, concrete decay, wood rot, and corrosion of plumbing, waterproofing can also increase your property value. A leaky house will deter potential buyers, thus reducing its market value.

Waterproofing is a cost-effective, long-term solution to water leaks. Engage a professional waterproofing contractor as soon as you notice a leak to prevent further damage. Advanced Roofing Technologies' Lotus High Performance Liquid Membrane offers an excellent solution for waterproofing your internal wet areas.

Bathroom Waterproofing

Bathrooms are a key part of your home where waterproofing is essential due to the regular exposure to water and high levels of humidity. If not correctly waterproofed, bathrooms can become a breeding ground for mold and mildew, and long-term water exposure can lead to substantial structural damage. Lotus P1 Primer offers an ideal solution for preparing your bathroom surfaces for waterproofing. The primer's excellent adhesion properties make it perfect for bathroom surfaces like tiles, concrete, and wood.

Kitchen Waterproofing

Kitchens are also prime areas for water damage due to the constant usage of water and the presence of various appliances. Waterproofing your kitchen can prevent water leaks, prolong the lifespan of your kitchen appliances, and maintain a clean, safe environment. To do this, a good foundation of Lotus P1 Primer is critical. It can adhere perfectly to stucco, wood, concrete surfaces, typical in many kitchens.

Shower Waterproofing

Shower areas are constantly exposed to water, making them a critical area to waterproof. Without proper waterproofing, water can seep into the walls and floors, causing significant damage over time. Lotus P1 Primer serves as an excellent initial step to waterproof your shower area. Its easy application and strong adhesion to a variety of surfaces, including wood and concrete, make it a top choice for shower waterproofing.

The Process of Waterproofing Internal Wet Areas

Waterproofing internal wet areas is a crucial undertaking to ensure the longevity, safety, and structural integrity of spaces like bathrooms, kitchens, and utility rooms. This comprehensive process involves a series of well-defined steps that collectively create a watertight barrier, protecting the building materials and preventing water damage, mold growth, and potential structural issues. We follow the following steps to ensure your property is property waterproofed.

By adhering to these application steps and ensuring a thorough waterproofing process, you can protect these critical areas of your home from potential water damage, significantly extending their lifespan and maintaining their function.
