Moisture is one of the most common causes of building defects. Water infiltration can result in a range of problems, such as mold growth, structural deterioration, and the loss of insulation properties. Moisture can also cause paint and other finishes to peel, creating an unsightly appearance that can decrease a building’s value.
E.Y. Mercado Construction (EYMC), a leading provider of construction services in the Philippines, understands the importance of moisture control in maintaining the integrity of buildings. The company recently completed over 2000 sqm of painting and waterproofing for the iCiTE Building at Eastwood, demonstrating its commitment to delivering high-quality construction services.
One of the key challenges in preventing moisture-related building defects is identifying the source of the problem. Moisture can enter a building through a range of pathways, including leaks in the roof, walls, or foundation, and through poorly sealed windows and doors. Addressing these problems requires an understanding of the building’s design, materials, and environmental factors that contribute to moisture infiltration.
EYMC employs a range of engineering approaches to ensure building integrity, including the use of waterproofing membranes, sealants, and coatings. These solutions are designed to prevent moisture from entering the building envelope and causing damage to the structure or finishes.
In addition to preventive measures, EYMC also provides remedial solutions to address existing moisture-related defects. These solutions may include the removal and replacement of damaged finishes, the installation of moisture barriers, and the repair of leaks and other sources of water infiltration.
EYMC’s expertise in moisture control and building integrity is backed by a commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. The company’s team of professionals is trained in the latest construction techniques and uses only the highest quality materials to ensure long-lasting results.
Moisture is a major contributor to building defects, but with proper engineering approaches and the use of high-quality materials, it can be controlled and prevented. EYMC’s recent completion of painting and waterproofing for the iCiTE Building at Eastwood demonstrates their commitment to delivering high-quality construction services and maintaining the integrity of buildings. By working closely with clients and providing tailored solutions, EYMC ensures that every project is completed on time, within budget, and to the highest standards of quality.
