You can feel the monsoon tapping gently on your windows. But soon enough, the rain starts making its way into places it should not, that is, your walls. Water seepage often begins at the bottom and silently moves upward. You may not see it at first, but over time, you will find your exterior walls discoloured, flaking, or feel damp to the touch. Let’s trace how wall water leakage actually travels. And more importantly, how the right waterproofing the wall solution can stop it in its tracks.
It all begins with the ground beneath.
After heavy rains, the soil around your home becomes waterlogged. This moisture starts pushing upward. The lower part of your exterior walls, which is in direct contact with the ground, begins to absorb this water like a sponge. Over time, this damp moves steadily upward through the wall.
Moisture damage starts becoming visible on the walls.
As moisture travels up, the outer surface of the wall begins to show signs of stress. You will see white salt stains (efflorescence), bubbling paint, and hairline cracks. These small gaps become entry points for more moisture. What started as an outside issue now begins affecting the inside.
Seepage enters your home.
Once moisture finds its way into the wall structure, it seeps further inward. Interior paint discolours, cement bonds begin to weaken, and a musty smell creeps in. Mold and algae silently take root in the damp conditions. At this point, surface treatments and repainting do not solve the issue. These can be considered temporary fixes.
The real damage sets in.
If the wall remains untreated, the seepage problem goes from bad to worse. Cracks deepen. The wall’s strength deteriorates. All this because of unchecked water seepage and lack of waterproofing the wall when it mattered most.
