What is a Seep Guard?

Beautiful homes demand special care and need to be protected from the changing weather conditions, winds, and rainfall which leads to the most common and most susceptible problem of cracks and leaks in the roof and walls. When water makes its way inside your house through cracks in the walls due to leakage in overhead tanks, rainfall, or other water sources, it not only destroys the beautiful interior and ambiance of the house but also damages the base structure significantly thus weakening the overall construction. Terraces, Rooftops, and bathrooms are the most vulnerable areas that need to be prevented from water clogging and seepage. Seep Guard is likely to get even the most beautiful homes are frequently exposed to ever-changing weather conditions and rainfall, making the structure more susceptible to leaks and cracks. Leakages arise when water ingresses from cracks and walls due to rainfall or because of other water bodies in your home. These leakages will not only damage the outlook of your home but also weaken the structure significantly. Areas like bathrooms, terraces, and rooftops are at the highest risk for water-related damage, making terrace and roof waterproofing a priority while constructing your dream home. Seep Guard is a special kind of water and mold-resistant baseboard that comes with a protective barrier that prevents water from passing through the wall. The Seep Guard product protects the wall from water damage thus keeping the wall dry and safe.

Need of Seep guard

Every problem leads to the innovation of a great product and here are some of the major problems that lead to the need for Seep guard.

When there is a seepage due to drainage, plumbing, failure of any appliance, or leakage water travels down the floor and seeps under the baseboard where it comes in contact with the water making the wall as well as the baseboard wet. This can cause wall destruction and mold development.

Most of the time, these leaks remain unseen and can provide the best surface for molds to grow as mold growth manifolds on wet surfaces. It not just weakens the construction but it is also a serious health hazard that cannot be overlooked.

Besides these issues, the remedial measures and wall repair is a costly affair. All walls that are wet or are affected by molds need to be removed and disposed of to prevent any further damage. Sanitation of inner wall surfaces, reinstallation, finishing, and repairing drywalls become quite costly and inconvenient. Sometimes when the damage is more, the replacement of cabinets, mold testing, and clearance involve even more costs. 

Seep guard waterproofing solutions

Birla White Seep Guard Waterproofing Solutions is an innovative waterproof coating material that comes with dual properties. When applied to cementitious surfaces, the Seep guard effectively locks the small pores and cracks thus preventing water leakage and seepage. It brings down the surface temperature effectively which keeps the house cool during hot sunny days. It can be applied on Interior, Vertical, and Horizontal Surfaces. The product is highly effective and useful as it comprises unique German Elastomeric polymers & white cement that imparts elastomeric qualities and makes it highly radiant and reflective.

Seep guard Interior Surfaces

Seep Guard Interior Surfaces is a Polymer Modified, Elastomeric, White Cementitious, High Performance Coating System mainly designed for masonry & concrete surfaces. Seep Guard Products are well-suited for both positive & negative waterproofing. It repairs hairline cracks on the surface and prevents water from seeping in through the floors, walls, and ceiling. Thus, it protects the base structure from water-related issues. 

Seep guard Horizontal Surfaces

Seep Guard Horizontal Surfaces is a Polymer Modified, White Cementitious, Elastomeric waterproofing, highly effective coating system for horizontal RCC, cemented, and concrete surfaces. It is made up of German Elastomeric polymer and white cement. It provides the dual benefits of heat reduction and waterproofing in a single product.

Seep guard Vertical Surfaces

Seep Guard Vertical Surfaces is a Polymer Modified, White Cementitious, Elastomeric, High-grade coating system for exterior vertical plastered wall and concrete surfaces. It is a formulation of Elastomeric German polymers and white cement. It repairs all hairline cracks that are there on the surface so that water does not penetrate through the walls. Thus, it not only protects the structure from damage caused by water but also saves the top coat paint life.

How to use a Seep guard?

It is as easy to use Seep guard products as to apply paints on walls. For the two coats of Seep Guard Horizontal/vertical Surfaces, form a mixture of 65% water with 1 kg of material. To prepare the primary coat, mix 1000 ml of water with 1 kg of material. To prepare the two coats of Seep Guard Horizontal Surfaces, add 650 ml of water to 1 kg of material.

Features and Benefits of using Seep guard products

  1. Adhesiveness - Provides very strong adhesion with concrete, RCC, and cemented surfaces.
  2. Waterproofing- Provides protection from water leakage up to 5 bars of positive and negative hydrostatic pressure.
  3. Elastomeric - Provides great elastomeric that can withstand high levels of thermal contraction and expansion.
  4. Durability - Protects the building surfaces from damages caused by water leakage and seepage.
  5. Heat reflective and UV resistant - Protect the building surface from UV rays and help keep it cool due to the use of white additives and white cement. White colour is known to reflect heat and can bring down the temperature by 8-10°C, on sunlight-exposed surfaces. 
  6. Anti-Efflorescence - The product is long-lasting as it resists Efflorescence.
  7. Bridges crack - The product is great for bridging gaps and cracks due to the presence of German Elastomeric polymers.
  8. Eco-Friendly - The product does not cause any harm to nature as it has zero Volatile Organic Compound(VOC). Also, Seepguard is algae and fungi-resistant.
  9. Use, maintenance, and warranty - The product can be used as a single pack, requires no maintenance as it is white cement-based polymer modified powder, and comes with 8 years of waterproofing warranty.
