Waterproofing is an important part of maintaining a commercial building. Over time, moisture and humidity can cause serious damage to a building. Water can seep into cracks in the wall and floors and pose a serious threat to the stability of the building.
It is important to monitor commercial buildings to make sure there are no water seepage or moisture problems. Owners of commercial buildings can hire specialized inspectors to check if the building is waterproof. Waterproofing inspectors check for leaks and recommend repairs if they find any potential problems. A waterproofing inspector is also familiar with the proper sealants to be used in commercial buildings.
In additional to potential problems with the structure due to water seepage, moisture and humidity, owners most also be aware of the threat of mold and mildew. The growth of mold and mildew in a commercial building can pose a health risk to the people who work in the building. Severe mold and mildew growth can require the closing of the building for extensive treatment.
Rain and storms are not the only elements that a commercial building should be prepared for. Internal air condensation and water leaks could also contribute to the building’s moisture accumulation. Using permeable or poor materials and badly sealed structures are also factors.
