Nobody likes leaking pipes. They are, at best, a waste of water. In the worst case, they can cause serious damage to homes which could cost thousands of dollars to repair. The most important thing to do when trying to find a long-term solution for leaky pipes is to understand the cause of the problem. In this regard, we've put together four of the most common reasons for leaks in water from your home. This will aid you in taking the needed steps to prevent a potential leak from causing water damage prior to it becoming an emergency and also tell you why pipe wrapping is important. Corrosion Pipe corrosion is a frequent source of leaks and leaks, with the J-trap or U-shaped pipe beneath the sink, being most at risk of degrading. There are many factors that can act together to cause corrosion. These include the following: The pipe's material: Many older homes have pipes constructed of materials that make them susceptible to corrosion and rust like galvanised steel. PVC is the b...

What pipe wrapping does to a pipe is done by APP waterproofing membrane for surfaces. Waterproofing is something that can’t be neglected to avoid problems that can come into existence in the future. Waterproofing acts as a strong protective layer and provides strength to the walls and the base of a structure. APP waterproofing membrane can be in the form of a roll or a sheet. It is one of the most effective solutions to leakage concerns because of its features.   In this blog, we will look at some features of the APP waterproofing membrane.                          Features of APP Waterproofing Membrane  As rooftops are always exposed to the rains, which is the main cause of leakage, some strong protection is necessary to save inner walls from affecting them. IWL’s APP waterproofing membrane is the best solution to provide protection against leakage. So...

The definition of shelf lifespan for an item created to protect important assets is always an interesting topic. How is it possible that something that was designed to protect an asset from the harshest conditions for years has a one or two-year shelf-life? This is a frequently asked issue. In order to properly answer it, the answer must be making a distinction between "shelf life" and "service life" because that is often where confusion occurs. What is the shelf-life? Shelf life refers to the length of time a product like pypkote tape can be kept without becoming inedible for use. Typically, manufacturers specify the minimum conditions of the environment in which the product must be kept to ensure it meets the shelf life they have declared. For the pipe wrapping tape these are the following conditions: Upper-temperature limit, Outside of direct sunlight Protected from damage that could be caused by physical force on the item, such as limits on stacking. The term ...

Sealants and adhesives are used to connect and join various parts to the main structure. They help to fill the gaps and sometimes act as a barrier to prevent fluids/ leakages pass through. Have a look at the guide to sealants and adhesives in the article below.  What is a polysulphide sealant and where is it used?   It is made of resins that are flexible, dynamic, easy to work, and have strong adhesive properties. There are multiple uses known for a polysulphide sealant . Some of them are presented to you below. They are used in construction sites and are known for their high resistance to sunlight salt water and general environmental factors. It is known for its strong adhesive property and is used on every construction site.  It creates a strong feeling on both sides of the surface which diminishes the risk of water leakage and erosion. It is the best choice for Marine body construction as it is not water-soluble It is a popular choice area with high rainfall. This k...
