Common Reasons For Balcony Waterproofing Membrane Failure The waterproofing membrane is the primary layer of defence. Leakages are a tell tale sign that there can be an issue with the waterproofing membrane in the balcony. The most common reasons for membrane balcony waterproofing failure are: - Lacking proper waterproofing membrane application - Materials used are low quality and grade - Solution applied failed to seal joints or protrusions If the waterproofing membrane fails, any repairs or surface sealing will not be enough. While these treatments might help with bandaging or provide a short-term lift from water intrusion, the grout will eventually fail as the building’s thermal expansion or movement occurs. Waterproofing membranes, rather than ignoring them, should be replaced by professionals. If there are any drainage issues or design for falls problems, they should be addressed. The Solution: Waterproofing: Ensure that your balcony is covered with an effective waterproofing solution. Membrane repair: If the membrane is already in place, check for any damage and if repairing it is possible. Surface sealing: If there are any cracks or gaps on the surface, seal them with a high-quality sealant. Drainage: Make sure that your balcony has proper drainage to avoid water pooling. If you are unsure about how to carry out any of these steps, it is best to consult with a professional waterproofing contractor in Singapore. They will be able to assess the situation and recommend the best course of action for your particular balcony.
