Other Reasons for Wall Leaks
Seepage can be a common problem in households, especially older houses. It causes damages like watermarks, blisters and bubbled paintwork on the walls and ceiling of a room. Water and ceiling leakage, without repair, can cause severe damage to the integrity of your home. Furthermore, the moisture and dampness can result in fungal and bacterial growth, which could cause various allergies and health problems to the occupants. Here are five common reasons for seepage in homes.
1. Faulty Internal Plumbing
- Leaking drainage pipes or sanitary fitments
- Outflow in the water supply pipes
- Leakage in the neighbourhood property’s internal plumbing
2. Rainwater that accumulated due to poor ventilation on the roof
3. Leakage in the water leak
4. Poor waterproofing at the time of construction
5. Presence of underground water accumulation
If you are looking at seepage problems, check for all the possible causes in your house. Sometimes the problem is rooted in poor waterproofing done while the house is still in construction. On other occasions, it might be due to the ageing of your home. Knowing the primary source of leakage will enable you to call proper help from the correct authorities.
If the problem is from your plumbing, immediately book a plumbing service before it turns into a larger issue. On the other hand, if you suspect it is from your house’s metal roof, call the waterproofing services you hired for your Singapore home’s construction.
