Why do we have moisture stains and weeds on the body of buildings? What was supposed to have been done that was not done? We do not give attention to construction details in this part of the world. There is what we call rising damp, especially when building in a water-prone environment, where the level of water to the surface of the ground is very close. We call it high water table level. It is easier for the water to rise through a process we call capillary action into the fabric of the wall.

With increasing prospects of infrastructure development and project implementation  the Nigerian da mp and waterproofing industry is  lagging behind . With vertica l ia sation increasingly becoming the mantra across Nig eria , repair and redevelopment has evolved as the need of the hour for the ageing and deteriorating structures. According to a study on international standards by Global Research Market, if the average life span of buildings  is more than 100 years globally in Nigeria it  is barely  20-25 years. There is a serious requirement for intervention from  high end construction chemical solutions to prevent the deterioration of structures and to strengthen new construction activities. Thankfully enough  there is now urgency in the building business  inculcate best practices  in terms of the usage of the right construction materials   along with the  proper dosage and  techniques  to build healthy struc...
