Monsoon is almost here. While you gear up with umbrellas and raincoats, your home deserves just as much protection. Especially your roof. Just like wet shoes can make you uncomfortable, rainwater can damage your roof, causing algae, fungi, and seepage. The solution? Choose a reliable waterproof roof coating to keep your home dry and safe.
During the monsoon, your roof is the first surface that gets exposed to continuous rain. If it is not waterproofed properly, water starts finding its way through the smallest cracks or weak spots. Over time, roofs undergo thermal expansion and contraction due to heat during the day and cool temperatures at night. This constant movement creates micro-cracks on the surface. These cracks may not be visible right away, but they act like tiny entry points for rainwater.
When water settles or pools on flat surfaces, it exerts hydrostatic pressure which means it pushes down with force. If the roof coating is not strong enough, this pressure causes water to penetrate through the surface layer and into the slab below. From there, moisture travels inward and downward, leading to damp ceilings, dripping corners, peeling paint, and even fungal or algae growth. That’s why roof waterproofing is more than just surface protection. It plays a crucial role in preserving your home’s safety and longevity during monsoon.
As mentioned, without proper roof waterproofing, rainwater can seep into ceilings and walls. To avoid a compromised structure, applying a strong waterproof coating for roof areas ensures a healthier living environment and extends the life of your home. Here are some of the common roof problems during the monsoon season.
Water leakage and seepage
Cracks due to thermal expansion
Mold, algae, and fungal growth
Damp ceilings and peeling paint
Structural weakening over time
