Buildings movements can be caused by reasons, including ground movement or subsidence, inadequately restrained or tied walls, the movement brought about by water ingress, below grade construction materials and more.

Building structure repair is essential to strengthen existing buildings and concrete to prevent deterioration of concrete that may cause accidents or mishaps to occupants in the building. Aside from that, structure repair helps to improve the performance of building structures, reduce the cost incurred for rectification or servicing and helps to maintain structural integrity.

Our team provides building structure repair services amongst others, to remedy cracks in your concrete building, which is another common way for water to seep into your house.

Damage to your roof is an unavoidable fact as they are exposed to the elements all the time. A proper waterproofing system safeguards your property in the long-term against unwanted water intrusion. Roof waterproofing refers to the treatment of the roof surface to prevent water passage under hydrostatic pressure by making the roof system resistant to water entry. Proper roof waterproofing prevents water or other forms of leakages from entering the living spaces below.

Conventional waterproofing systems include the application of waterproofing membranes that acts as a physical barrier to prevent water from passing through. Concrete and flat roofs can also be waterproofed on any property type such as residential, commercial or industrial buildings. We also provide maintenance and repair of damaged waterproofing layers to ensure that your roof is protected.

The most common cause of basement leaks is the pressure created by the water in the soil surrounding the building foundation. During periods of heavy or persistent rain, the soil may become saturated, creating hydrostatic pressure (water pressure) that can push water and moisture through your basement floor and walls.

Water can find its way into your basement such as through cracks in the floor and joints where poured concrete meets the walls. OzeanGate can help to solve your basement water problems, so the next time it rains, you won’t have to worry about a wet basement.

Wall cancer, also known as concrete cancer or concrete degradation is a serious problem that should be addressed immediately. The issue can worsen to become a safety hazard if left untreated. With immediate diagnosis and repair, the structure deterioration can be halted and can help clients save cost from future repairs.

Not only that, but wall cancer can be caused by wall mould, which is a type of fungus that develops from airborne spores. It is often caused by high humidity and lack of ventilation. Some of the leading causes of wall cancer are as follows:

1. Environmental Factors

Due to poor insulation on the external wall, the wall may be cold and damp. Thus, the excessive moisture in the air leads to the formations of water droplets causing the walls to be moist. Damp walls are prone to grow mouldy and mould spores to form.

2. Poor Ventilation

Buildings and residential homes that are poorly ventilated by inhabitants may lead to poor air circulation. Excessive indoor humidity may occur, and droplets may linger within the home and condense as droplets on walls. Over time, prolonged condensation will lead to mould forming at various part of the house.

Polyurethane (PU) grouting, also known as PU injection, is a waterproofing technique that involves injecting cracks or voids in concrete with expanding polyurethane. This technique prevents water from seeping through the voids or cracks typically found in concrete. PU grouting is effective to solve water leakage issues, especially when applied on the underside of the seepage area or the lower floor ceiling where the leak is occurring.

A hole will have to be drilled on the underside of the ceiling, allowing polyurethane to ascend into any cracks or voids caused by water damage, which will be filled up when the PU expands. PU injection is a recommended repair technique for actively-leaking cases involving concrete slabs.

Commonly used for commercial and industrial uses, epoxy flooring is typically applied on concrete floors for a smooth, seamless and durable surface that can withstand heavy loads. It is easy to maintain for a safer and cleaner floor surface compared to other conventional floor coatings.

At OzeanGate, we choose the best products according to your project needs and apply over new or old concrete to prevent further wear and tear.

Water tanks are made for safely storing water without any leakages. However, the main concern is avoiding the growth of fungus or algae. In both cases of drinking and non-drinking water, a waterproofing system is needed to prevent leakages and microbial growth due to structural defects, pressure damage and more.

Waterproofing can be done to the inside of the water tank. The products used to waterproof the interior of water tanks will not affect the taste of drinking water and are entirely safe and approved by authorities.
