Podium Waterproofing
Podium is an area where people plan for water bodies, landscape, children play area, sports facilities, car parking, or driveways. Because Singapore has high rainfall, humidity, and strong sun, podium slabs are especially vulnerable to membrane failure, ponding, and thermal cracking if not waterproofed correctly. Proper waterproofing helps to keep out water and pollutants thereby preventing leakages, protecting structural elements and embedded steel reinforcement from corrosion damage.
Common Podium Leakage Problems
| Cause | Description |
|---|---|
| Water leakage to basement/carpark | Cracks in slab, failed membrane |
| Ceiling dampness or paint peeling below slab | Ponding water on top deck |
| Mould or mildew in interior spaces | Poor drainage or sealing at joints |
| Structural concrete deterioration | Long-term moisture exposure |
