📍 SITE STORIES 🦺 | EPISODE 15

I AM LEAVING INSTAGRAM 😭😂

I honestly don’t understand why you would build a bathroom without properly waterproofing the floor and wet areas.

So before I finally leave this gram for you… 😂

Here are 2 reasons you should waterproof your wet areas:

1️⃣ TO PREVENT WATER FROM FINDING ITS WAY INTO PLACES IT SHOULDN’T.

Bathrooms deal with water constantly.

Without proper waterproofing, water can seep through joints, cracks and porous surfaces into the screed and surrounding areas.

And trust me…

Water will always find a way. 😭

2️⃣ TO PREVENT FUTURE DAMAGE AND EXPENSIVE REPAIRS.

Water that gets underneath your finishes can eventually contribute to dampness, mould, deterioration of finishes and damage to adjoining areas.

And when the problem finally shows itself?

You may be removing tiles you thought were perfectly fine. 😮‍💨

That’s why waterproofing isn’t something to think about after the bathroom starts leaking.

It should be part of the construction process before the finishes go in.

As Project Managers, we’re not just watching tiles being laid.

We’re thinking about what happens underneath them, what happens next, and what could go wrong if we get the sequence wrong.

So yes…

I AM LEAVING LINKEDIN. 😂

But before I go, let me continue telling you these site stories.

If this is how I have to share what we’re learning on site, I’d gladly take it. 🦺❤️
