🧱 WEEKEND LEARNING WITH PROSEAL
TOPIC: Why Most Waterproofing Fails Within 3–6 Months
🚫 Ever sealed a bathroom, roof slab, or tank…
And still saw signs of moisture just weeks later?
You're not alone.
Here are the 3 most common reasons waterproofing fails in Nigeria:
🔍 1. Using the Wrong Product for the Job
Most products sold in markets are just white cement with chemicals — not true waterproofing compounds.
What works for concrete tanks won’t work for balconies or roofs.
✅ PRO TIP: Always match product to surface type (e.g. concrete vs tile vs steel).
🛠️ 2. Poor Surface Preparation
Applying on a dusty, oily, or cracked surface means the product won’t bond properly — even if it’s high quality.
✅ PRO TIP: Always clean, prime, and test for moisture before application.
⌛ 3. No Curing or Protection After Sealing
Once applied, waterproofing needs time to cure and set.
If it rains too soon or gets covered too fast, performance drops.
✅ PRO TIP: Protect fresh work for at least 24–48 hours post-application.
