Leaks may seem like a minor problem at first, but if you don't fix them in time, they can cause damp, mould and even serious structural damage to your home or business premises. Do you want to know how to fix leaks before they become a headache? Read on, because we'll explain how to fix them effectively.

Common Causes of Leaks

Before repairing a leak, it is important to understand why it has appeared. Some of the most common causes are:

• Leaks from deteriorated roofs.
• Cracks or cracks in roofs.
• Problems in the waterproofing of terraces or roofs.
• Clogging of gutters and downpipes.
• Defective seals on windows or skylights.

How to Detect a Crack Before It Becomes a Major Problem?

Sometimes leaks are not obvious until they have already caused damage. Some warning signs are:

• Stains of humidity on ceilings or walls.
• Peeling paint or plaster.
• Persistent musty smell.
  If you notice any of these signs, it's time to act.

Steps to Repair a Leak

1. Identify the Exact Point of Leakage

Check the roof for cracks, fissures or damp areas. If it is a problem in the terrace waterproofing, check joints and drains.

2. Clean and Dry Affected Area

The success of the repair depends on a clean, dry surface. Remove any dust, dirt or loose material before applying any product.

3. Apply a Sealant or Waterproofing Membrane

Depending on the type of leak, you can use:

• Putty for small cracks.
• Roofing felt or liquid membranes for terrace waterproofing.
• Waterproofing coatings on flat roofs.

4. Check the Repair

Once the solution has been applied, wait for the recommended drying time and test with water to ensure that the leak is completely sealed.

When to Call a Professional?

If the leak persists or if the problem is structural, it is best to contact a leak repair specialist. A poor repair could cause moisture to return and cause further damage.

Prevention: Avoid Leaks in the Future

• Carry out regular checks of the roof.
• Make sure the drains are clean.
• Reinforce the terrace waterproofing every few years.

Repairing leaks early is key to avoiding major problems. Don't ignore a small leak, because it could cost you much more to fix later. Take action today and protect your home or business!
