Waterproofing Failures Are a Major Risk Across UAE Construction
Across the UAE, waterproofing failures remain one of the most common and costly issues affecting buildings.
From flat roofs and podium decks to basements and wet areas, poor design, incorrect specification and inadequate installation regularly result in:
- Water ingress and internal damage
- Structural deterioration
- Mould and indoor air quality issues
- Costly remedial works and project delays
- Ongoing maintenance and liability risks
These issues are often preventable with the right design approach, system selection and on-site understanding.
