DAMAGES WATER CAN DO TO PAINTS ON YOUR BUILDING

The primary functions of decorative paints are to protect the building and at the same time beautify it. However, some paints are used for specific purposes. For example, gloss paints are primarily used in painting iron, wood, wall, among others. But, most times gloss paints are used as water resistance because of the water resistant nature. Having said that, a building in which water pipe that supply water to every part of the house leaks or damages in one way or the other and the owner fails to rectify the issue with time every part of the wall painted will be affected. It will result to swelling of the paint on the wall and with time it will naturally begin to peel off the wall. Also, if the roofing of a building leaks the dropping water will  change the ceiling from white to brown.

Another situation in which water damages the paint on a building is when a building is either in a flooded area or the building is built close to  river, swampy or island like Lekki in Lagos, Nigeria. In an area like Lekki, building engineers construct strong foundation to prevent penetration of water from the ground to the top. Also, most times the water from the bathroom cause a great damage to the wall and this is one of the reasons many house owners today tile the bathroom from top to bottom.

In case your building is under the above stated challenges, there are different measures in surmounting the issue. If you detected the problem is the water pipe, the best solution is to find the pipe and rectify it or you may need to ask a plumber to rerun another pipe or else the water will weaken the building. The building will need to be repainted from time to time and if water resistant paints like gloss among others is used the problem will be temporarily resolved unless the cause of the problem is first eliminated.
