Debunking Common Waterproofing Myths: Commercial Waterproofing Solutions for Property Managers, Owners, and Building Administrators in the Philippines

In the Philippines, effective waterproofing is a necessity given the country's tropical climate, with frequent heavy rains and high humidity. However, misconceptions about waterproofing often lead to ineffective solutions, costly repairs, and reduced property value. For property managers, owners, and building administrators, understanding these myths and addressing them with the right solutions is critical.

Myth 1: Sealants Are Not Essential in Waterproofing

Fact: Sealants are crucial for filling gaps and crevices before waterproofing.

Properly applied sealants address joints, corners, and other areas prone to water ingress, ensuring comprehensive protection. Overlooking sealants leaves structural vulnerabilities that can lead to long-term damage.

Myth 2: Waterproofing Is Too Expensive

Fact: Skipping proper waterproofing often leads to higher long-term costs.

While quality waterproofing solutions may require upfront investment, they prevent expensive structural repairs, mold remediation, and health-related issues caused by water intrusion. In the long run, effective waterproofing is a cost-saving measure.

Myth 3: Paint Can Permanently Hide Water Leakages

Fact: Paint is a temporary fix, not a waterproofing solution.

Using paint to mask water stains does not address the underlying issue of water penetration. Over time, the water will cause further damage to your structure, and the problem will resurface, often worse than before.

Myth 4: Cementitious Waterproofing Is Ideal for All Projects

Fact: For large-scale projects, TPO (Thermoplastic Olefin) membranes are often the superior choice.

While cementitious waterproofing works well for smaller applications like bathrooms, large structures such as roof decks, basements, and commercial facilities require flexible, durable materials like TPO. TPO membranes are highly resistant to weathering, UV radiation, and structural movements, providing long-term protection.
