TERRACE WATERPROOFING - UNADVERTISED BENIFIT-150
Over the years , I have been living with the problem of water leakage and seepage during the rainy season of my house at Agasthiarpatty . This problem became all the more acute as i have had to keep the house locked for almost 6 months each year during the last 6 years as we are mostly away in Canada with our son , daughter and grandkids . We are away partially both during the PEAK NORTH EAST AND SOUTH WEST MONSOON .
After many deliberations with freinds and quaintances . My friend Parasu who is also into the Apartment/ Tenements construction business suggested waterproofing of the entire Terrace using AQUATECH DULUXE WATERPROOFING COAT . He suggested 3 coats of the same during the evening time for 3 consecutive days say between 4.30 pm to 6.30 pm after thorough scrapping and cleaning of the Terrace surface .
Nearly 30 Liters of the same was used and the cost for this project alone worked out to almost Rs 10000 / - . I engaged a professional painter for the job which included the painting of the house also .
Now comes the important part :
It is now mid March and the Temperature is already in the 38 Degrees Celsius Range during the afternoons . The nights inspite of the Airconditioners working for 4 hours are of hardly any use . The heat is all encompassing .
Now , after the Waterproofing of the Terrace , the temperatures both inside the house and the bedroom in particular are a lot more comforting , infact the temperature inside the bedroom at night without the help of the AC is a comfortable 24 Degrees Celsius.
I thought of posting this as i thought some among my friends would be facing similar or related issues with their houses and musing on a solution . The doing away of the AC altogether is an added advantage .
