Weatherproofing Strategies for Building in Monsoon Regions
Constructing and maintaining buildings in high-rainfall areas requires specialized strategies to prevent dampness, seepage, and structural damage.
Roofing and Terrace Protection
Apply high-quality liquid waterproofing membranes to your terrace before the rains start. Ensure proper slope and drainage pipes to prevent water stagnation, which is the leading cause of leakage.
Exterior Wall Care
Use hydrophobic paints and primers on external walls. This creates a barrier that sheds water quickly. For brickwork, ensure the pointing is done correctly to avoid water entering the joints.
Damp Proof Course (DPC)
A robust DPC is essential at the plinth level to prevent capillary action, where water rises from the soil into your walls. This is crucial for long-term wall health.
