Three tips to help you waterproof a bathroom correctly
Waterproofing has always been an important concern when designing any home or building. For one, water can be extremely damaging to your furniture and other property. Water leaks can also pose a nuisance to tenants and can even be dangerous at times if it seeps into electrical wiring and components or even into the structure itself. Consulting a waterproofing specialist and getting waterproofing materials should always be a priority.
But what about bathrooms? Bathrooms are places that are supposed to be wet. We use bathrooms to freshen up by washing and bathing ourselves, so not having water in your bathroom is impossible. But as an indoor space, it’s still subject to the same concerns about water leaks as the rest of your home. You must not let your bathroom become a weak point that can pose a threat to your entire house.
For your home to be safe, you must ensure that the waterproofing services done by your waterproofer are good enough to resist the effects of moisture. Water can leak into bathroom walls and floors and cause mould growths, fungi, rot, and many other issues.
How to waterproof your bathroom
Bathrooms need an efficient system for locking out moisture. Here are a few tips to help keep your bathroom safe.
- Use tiles to protect floors and walls. Why are tiles such a popular option for flooring in bathrooms? Tiles are some of the most resistant to water damage and can effectively prevent seepage.
- Look for a reliable plumber. Faulty plumbing is the number one cause of water issues in the bathroom. Knowing a good plumber is just as important as knowing a good water leakage specialist.
- Consider installing an exhaust fan. While they’re not found in all bathrooms, they work well in reducing moisture levels in the air.
