Waterproofing is essential in Dubai to protect homes and buildings from the effects of its climate. Here’s a breakdown of common waterproofing Issues in Dubai, solutions, and how to find reliable waterproofing experts
Common Waterproofing Problems in Dubai
- Walls: Dubai’s humidity and occasional heavy rain can cause water seepage through walls. This causes damp patches, peeling paint, mold, and potential structural damage.
- Bathrooms: Poorly waterproofed showers, tubs, and floors are prone to leaks. This can damage the bathroom and seep into adjoining rooms or floors below. We always recommend using Mapei Waterproof Grout.
- Roof: Dubai’s intense sun and occasional heavy rainfall take a toll on roofs. Cracks, damaged membranes, and poor flashing around fixtures and vents allow water intrusion.
