Wall Seepage

Definition:
Water seepage is when water escapes through the wall surface.

 

Causes:
• Broken pipes inside walls.
• Cracks on the surface of the wall.
• Water leaks.

 

Solutions:
• Find the source of the leak and cover up the source, such as replacing a broken or leaking pipe.
• Fix cracks by widening it until it’s slightly wider using a chisel or grinder, then clean off any left over materials with a wet cloth.

• Apply Mowilex Alcaplast Repair AP 800 on the cracked area until the crackline is smooth, then after the Alcaplast layer has dried (after 7 days), apply a layer of  Mowilex Undercoat Tembok before applying the paint topcoat.
• If the water seepage is not caused by a leaking water source, then apply Mowilex Alcaproof on the surface affected by seepage, and let dry completely.
• Apply mat on corners.
• Apply plaster and Mowilex Alcaplast Skim Coat Grey AP 100 or ceramic tiles to prevent further seepage.
