· Keep the location away from further water.

· Sealants will be helpful but don’t apply them over the painted wall.

· Please be sure that no electric wires are there.

So, now coming to the main point.

How can we fix this?

Fixing Minor Cracks:

Clean up the surface around the cracks and measure properly. Add drywall glue to the whole surface and rub it gently. After some time when it’s fully dry, paint that area with color.

But minor cracks are easy to fill. What if you are facing long cracks in your roof?

Is there any solution for that kind of roof waterproofing?

So, now the answer must be “Yes.”

For Long Vertical Cracks:

The first thing to do is to chip off any cracks you see. Rinse thoroughly with a wire brush and water. Then apply a double coating over the cracks with a good-quality waterproofing chemical.

And even, if these cracks have expanded their empire to the whole roof, you still have the solution to fix it.

First of all, make the entire roof uneven and clean the entire roof with pipe water and leave it for the good news. Meanwhile, you have to mix waterproofing chemicals and cement (in a 1:1.5 ratio), and then?

Then just apply a double coating of this mixture taking a gap of 12 hours.

And here last but not least, don’t forget to do the angled filling. No, not a heavy task.

Just take good quality cement and waterproofing chemicals (in a proper ratio), mix them properly, and fill the mixture between the roof and parapet wall.

And Yeah, It’s ready.

So, were those solutions very tough to do? I think now your answer will be a clear “No.”

And so that is the reason everyone is turning their eyes to Mapei for a lifetime solution of their home.
