Benefits of using geotextile fabric for waterproofing

Category: Technology

Geotextile fabric works as a strong barrier against water penetration and prevents water from getting across to sensitive areas in a structure. It is woven tightly and is non-porous by nature. This is why it is as effective as it is in blocking water seepage and securing vulnerable areas such as crawl spaces and basements from water damage. This is an impervious layer that protects structural elements such as roofs and foundations from the detrimental effects that moisture may have on them. It also reduces the chance of risks such as mold growth, costly repairs, and structural degradation. There are also some other ways in which such fabric makes sure that you get long-lasting waterproofing. It offers a higher level of resistance to degradation that happens because of chemicals, biological factors, and UV (ultraviolet) radiation thus making it significantly better than conventional waterproofing materials.
