Purechem chief, others list gains of protecting buildings from water leakages

Building engineers, construction firms and property owners and developers have been urged to ensure that structures are protected against water leakages, cracks and other threats to ensure durability and safety of lives and properties.

The call was made in Lagos by the Managing Director of PURECHEM Manufacturing Limited, Mr. Rajesh Sarada, during the unveiling of the company’s latest building brand ‘TopShield’, which offers complete water proofing solutions for the built environment. Sarada said the products were introduced in 2022 to help mitigate the danger of water leakages in buildings. 

At the occasion, video clips illustrating the advantages of the new product (Topshield) on structures at the foundation, flooring, roofing and plastering levels were shown. Sections of the clips extensively exposed the danger and embarrassment a leaking roof could cause to structures and people.

In his presentation, the Head of Sales & Marketing, Engr. Ammit Pawaar, said that “leaking structures, whether at the roof, wall or basement levels over time leads to corrosion, and cracks thereby affecting the durability of the structure. The beauty of structures could also be destroyed, as leaking walls, roofs, bathrooms, balconies get dampened and become eyesore of sorts. Another disadvantage of leaking structures is that such leakages have health consequences as such places will harbor health-threatening microorganisms like algae, fungi, germs, etc. 

The event, which attracted personalities and experts from Nigeria’s construction and the business community among others, also featured an award night for outstanding stakeholders.
