Waterproofing

Sometimes people are surprised to learn that tiled surfaces – both wall tiles and floor tiling – often require waterproofing procedures to be completed as part of the installation process. The idea behind tiling is often that they are the ideal material to handle the presence of moisture, and so they’re integrated into spaces where moisture is a major concern, most notably bathrooms, kitchens, and utility rooms. Of course, that doesn’t mean they’re immune to water, and it’s possible that after extended use, you could have a problem with water infiltration. To avoid any painful issues, the prudent course of action is to have waterproofing work completed at your property instead. At Pinnacle Tiling Company, we’ve helped with waterproofing surfaces hundreds of times in the past, so we’re ready to take on your property as well. If you’d like to uncover some more information about our waterproofing provision, either read on below or reach out to our customer service representatives, who are available over the phone or through our online web form.

Water Infiltration

When it comes to tiled surfaces, the most serious concern is water infiltration. When tiles have been exposed to water for extended periods of time – as is often the case with bathroom tiling – tile joints can begin to decline and deteriorate. When this happens, it becomes possible for water to get past the tiled surface and enter the walls. This can cause a host of problems, and it’s something you’ll want to avoid. Waterproofing can protect the surface behind the tiles when this happens, saving you a real headache.

Avoiding Structural Issues

The number one reason that water infiltration is something to worry about is the possibility of structural problems for your property. When water is allowed to enter your property’s walls or floors, it can disrupt the stability of the property and cause functional supports and elements to deteriorate. To resolve these problems, you might have to pay for expensive repair and renovation work, and if the problems are serious enough, it might mean needing to vacate your property temporarily until everything is resolved. This can all be avoided through proper waterproofing.

Spreading Mould

While the possibility of structural problems should be more than enough reason to keep on top of waterproofing your property, it’s also worth considering the possibility of mould spreading throughout the building as a reason to take action. Mould can cause damage to your property, but it’s also a health hazard. It spreads quickly and is difficult to take down once it’s infiltrated other parts of your property, so take action now.

Proactivity Over Reactivity

Where waterproofing is concerned, it pays to think ahead. It’s much more difficult to deal with problems related to water infiltration once they’ve appeared than it is to keep ahead of them. By allowing us to waterproof your property’s interior in a careful and considered fashion, you’re eliminating problems before they’ve even appeared. This approach is more practical, sensible, and cost-effective – a complete win-win.
