Mould and water leaks are related issues but distinct in their nature and effects. Here are the key differences between them: Causes Mould: Results from prolonged moisture and humidity, often due to poor ventilation, water leaks, or high indoor humidity levels. Water Leak: Typically caused by broken or damaged pipes, faulty plumbing, roof damage, or deteriorated waterproofing membranes. Indicators Mould: Visible growth, often black, green, or white patches on walls, ceilings, or other surfaces. Musty odour, allergic reactions, and respiratory issues. Water Leak: Water stains, dripping sounds, unexplained increase in water bills, damp spots, or pooling water. Long-term Implications Mould: Persistent mould can lead to ongoing health issues and significant damage to property that may require extensive repairs. Water Leak: If left unaddressed, water leaks can cause severe structural damage, electrical hazards, and foster mould growth, leading to compounded repair costs.

When a leak occurs in proximity to electrical fixtures, outlets, or junction boxes, the risk of electrical hazards increases significantly. Persistent water seepage can saturate an attic floor, penetrating downwards into light fixtures. It may trickle seep walls, accessing outlets, or infiltrate junction boxes, potentially exposing live wires to water. In severe instances, water may breach the electrical panel, leading to wire corrosion and creating extremely hazardous conditions. Spotting Electrical Trouble: Warning Signs Observation of water leak/dripping from any light fixture or electrical outlet Sudden flickering of lights following a rainstorm without any discernible cause Unexpected shock experienced from an outlet Repeated tripping of one or more circuits Action Plan: Dealing with Electrical Issues Switch off the power. If the circuit panel remains dry, deactivate the electricity there. If not, utilize the exterior switch outdoors. Contact us to address the primary water leakage problem. When handling water and electricity, it's best to entrust the task to trained professionals.

Water-based polyurethane membranes have been designed for a range of waterproofing applications where the membrane is to be covered on tiles, screeds, concrete beds, and more. These membranes offer excellent adhesion properties for use on building substrates, including concrete, masonry, renders, cement sheeting, wet area sheet surfaces, and plasterboard surfaces. Prevent water seepage right now.
