Have problems with damp walls even though it's not from your own roof? It could be water seepage from a neighbor's house. This problem is often experienced in densely populated areas or houses that are close to each other without gaps. Constantly damp walls can damage the structure, cause mold, and make the house feel uncomfortable. But don't worry, here are 6 powerful tips that Avian Brands Friends can do to overcome water seepage from the house next door:
1. Identify the Source of Seepage
First step, find out where the water is seeping from. Is it from the neighbor's bathroom? A water pipe? Or perhaps an exterior wall directly bordering their house? Knowing the source of the seepage will make handling easier.
2. Discuss With Neighbors
This is an important step but often avoided. Communicate the problem kindly. Sometimes, neighbors are unaware that their walls are impacting your home.
3. Strengthen Wall Layers from the Inside
If it's not possible to repair from the outside, then strengthen from inside the house. Use a waterproof layer before repainting the wall.
4. Check and Repair Small Cracks
Cracks in the wall can be an invisible entry point for water. Immediately check and repair with waterproof putty or mortar before applying protective paint.
5. Create Ventilation Gaps
If possible, create ventilation gaps so that air can flow and the walls dry faster. This also prevents mold growth.
6. Use Protective Paint with Special Technology
Use a final coating paint that is not only water-resistant but also heat-resistant. This type of paint helps keep the wall surface temperature stable, thus preventing dampness.
