When it comes to protecting your home for years to come, waterproofing proves to be an invaluable addition that you should seriously consider. This protective measure helps to keep out moisture build-up which can lead to escalated conditions of structural damage as well as affect your family’s health negatively. It is not a simple task that should be taken lightly and as specialists in the industry – we highly recommend having your home waterproofed by professionals. We bring along our expertise, high-performing materials and work according to industry standards. One of those materials in particular and a major component of waterproofing itself is the use of waterproof sealants in Sydney and sometimes many choose the cheapest on the market, but that may not be the best decision for your home in the future.
Utilising reputable sealants for waterproofing is essential to the longevity of it and so we advise customers not to underestimate the value of using a high-quality one. But this can also be a deterring factor for homeowners when embarking on waterproofing their homes because so many of us associate good quality with being exceptionally expensive. This, in turn, may result in some choosing to forgo waterproofing completely and reducing it to a costly affair that they can do without right now or attempting to do it themselves with shoddy products they found at a bargain price.
It’s important to use the right sealant and to carefully consider the outcome of either doing it yourself or not doing it at all. Proper installation, with quality sealants, can ensure your home stays protected, but choosing cheaper routes can result in frustrating maintenance work afterwards due to shoddy workmanship.
And so, the one significant advantage of using a professional and reliable service provider to tackle your waterproofing is being confident in knowing that your waterproofing will be done right, the first time around. And the pros always use optimal sealants that will not compromise the effectiveness of your waterproofing, which brings us to identifying the qualities found in the sealants we use, to help you understand the importance of them.
High Performance
It is essential that a sealant is high-performing especially in Sydney, because of the blistering summers and chilly winters in Australia. Sealants need to be temperature-proof, ensuring that the waterproofing is never compromised due to fluctuations in weather. Poor sealants can lead to waterproofing failures that may result in mould and mildew outbreaks – which can be a nightmare to resolve for any homeowner.
Long Lifespan
Many will be surprised to find out that sealants can have a shelf life, which is why we use long-lasting sealants that are up to industry standards to make sure that we install quality products without affecting its durability. Ask about the shelf-life of sealants you are interested in and choose ones that have sufficient time allocations.
Versatile Sealants
Various types of materials such as concrete, can be waterproofed and similarly, sealants need to be able to perform on these surfaces. High adhesion is essential and we can ensure that your property is covered adequately with the right sealant. Weak sealants can affect waterproofing, rendering it almost useless if there is low to no adhesion.
