External Wall Seepage Repair

Structural Silicone Glazing (SSG) is a method that utilises silicone sealants to adhere glass, ceramic, metal or other composite panels to supporting frames through the use of peripheral adhesive joints. The SSG serves as a bonding element for the structure as well as a weather seal, preventing water from seeping into the panels & damaging the structure. 

Sealant is commonly applied for sealing joints between cladding and window panels. There are a wide variety of waterproof sealant/silicone solutions and different methods of access to achieve an economical, aesthetic, and permanent watertight sealing solution.

External wall cladding protects a building from the harsh weather in Singapore. It also acts as a sound barrier to reduce noise pollution. High-quality sealants such as structural silicone are applied between cladding panels. Failed joint sealant at leaky windows, building cladding and flashing are all frustrating problems we encounter in weatherproofing. 

Proper application of sealants provides long-lasting protective benefits to the building. 

Application of flexible elastomeric liquid applied to walls act as a waterproofing coating to prevent water ingress. The use of elastomeric liquid allows the wall to take on a smooth surface for painting and aesthetic purposes. The application is commonly carried out using various access methods e.g. Rope Access, MEWP or scaffolding. Hydro-Seal is able to perform the applications regardless of methodology due to our extensive manpower and years of experience.

Frequent checks to the external wall should be done to ensure that leaks do not occur. Identifying and preventing leaks early avoids costly remediation in the future.
