Identify the common signs of water damage in UAE homes and why timely waterproofing is essential.
Introduction
Ignoring early signs of leakage can lead to expensive repairs. Here are the most common warning signs that your building needs waterproofing.
1. Damp Walls or Ceilings
If you notice wet spots, discoloration, or peeling paint — water is seeping in.
2. Musty Odor
A damp smell indicates mold growth, which forms when moisture is trapped inside walls.
3. Visible Cracks
Structural cracks allow water to enter your building, causing long-term damage.
4. White Powder (Efflorescence)
A salt-like layer on walls is a clear sign of moisture rising from behind the surface.
