What Are The Negative Impacts of Seepage?
In Pakistan, seepage in buildings is a pressing issue with serious health and economic implications. Poor indoor air quality, resulting from moisture and mold growth due to seepage, leads to respiratory illnesses among inhabitants.
Moreover, seepage compromises structural integrity, causing steel reinforcement to corrode and jeopardizing building safety. Repairing water damage is costly, and properties with seepage problems suffer reduced resale value. The solution lies in incorporating water damage prevention strategies during the design and construction phases, such as using quality materials, ensuring proper drainage, and implementing effective waterproofing techniques to ensure healthier living environments and maintain property value in Pakistan.
