Is Your Condo or Apartment Facing Water Leakage Issues?

A water leakage complaint from a downstairs neighbour can come as a surprise. So it’s best to act fast to maintain the peace and solve the issue before it gets worse!

When living in a high-rise building that houses many units all at once, the time will come when you get notified about a persistent water leakage coming from your condo. For some, it may come as early as the first few months or a few years after moving into a house. Either way, your downstairs neighbour might not be too happy about the situation and it’s best to find a way to get your water leakage issue fixed! 

Here are 3 quick solutions you can use to waterproof your apartment or condo.

1. PU injections for a quick bandaid fix- if your neighbour agrees to it, of course.

This conventional waterproofing method will have a contractor pumping in chemicals into the ceiling of the affected floor! As you wait for the solution to dry, expect it to leak and splatter from these cracks.

PU injections are a waterproofing method that drills a line of holes on the ceiling that will be filled up with an expanding Polyurethane foam. While it might not be a hacking method, it still requires drilling, repainting, and the use of a loud mix-and-pump motor.

Because the contractor needs to first find the problem area, they will have to look at the leaking ceiling in question. So you will have to coordinate with your downstairs neighbour to allow contractors into their home.

By the way, your neighbour should be reminded that this method might lead to a lot of fine dust and noise during the drilling process! Imagine this: your upstairs condo neighbour is probably very frustrated about the water leakage issue and just wants some peace. If you introduce a noisy, messy, and dirty procedure to their home, that they have to schedule by themselves- it could escalate the issue! It’s much better if you can waterproof your bathroom without troubling your neighbours.

2. Epoxy waterproofing for a thick, waterproofing layer- that changes the overall look of your bathroom floor’s surface.

Laying down epoxy waterproofing coatings takes an experienced hand and special safety equipment to make sure the layer is even and covers the floor thoroughly. As you can see, it will change the overall look of the floor below.

You might get recommendations from friends to let contractors use the epoxy waterproofing methods on your floors. This technique coats the entire floor from wall to wall into one big layer that usually has a design. Because of its wide coverage, it’s a popular technique used in low-cost homes, public toilets and even car park areas. 

This waterproofing method, however, will change the whole look of your bathroom or toilet. Because of the way it is applied and dried, the coating is irreversible after application. 

Not to mention, some service providers might choose to first sand your perfectly fine tiled floors to create a rough surface. Some solutions require a very specific profile that allows the epoxy to properly bind and stay on the floor. So, expect your expensive tiles to get thoroughly scratched and damaged!

Nano-G Prevent Slip & Fall Accidents in Cloud Kitchens With Nano-G

Prevent Slip & Fall Accidents in Cloud Kitchens With Nano-G

Effective anti-slip solutions for co-cooking spaces

With an increased risk of running a loss during Malaysia’s MCO and EMCO periods, many F&B businesses have closed up shop because of low foot traffic to their physical restaurants or stores. However, a resilient few have taken on new ventures into Cloud Kitchens. Cloud Kitchens (also known as Ghost Kitchens to the less superstitious) are the way to go for F&B businesses looking to lower rental costs. A shared kitchen space with a set delivery partner allows teams to focus on cooking and scheduling deliveries. Therefore, you’re likely to see a kitchen shared between upscaling home businesses and franchises.

A kitchen is still a kitchen. And when teams of varying experiences with adequate F&B workplace safety share a space, you have to ensure a safety-guaranteed premise.

Cloud Kitchen owners and managers should take extra precautions when keeping the workplace safe from slip and fall accidents for their tenants. The main culprit of (sometimes near-fatal) slip injuries is a slippery surface. This is especially so when kitchens don’t lay down anti-slip mats or enforce to use of anti-slip rubber shoes. 

Nano-G 5 Common Causes of Slip and Falls in a Kitchen

Slips happen when there’s too little friction between footwear and surfaces. Water, oil, and food can splash on the surface at any time creating a real hazard for workplace safety.

Your busy kitchens during rush hour mean chefs and cooks will be speeding through the workroom carrying objects. Ideally, cooks and chefs should not be zooming around carrying heavy objects. The speed makes a person not able to correct their balance, while heavy objects would obstruct their view entirely.

Nano-G Rush Hour is Every Kitchen’s Nightmare

During peak hours, like lunch time, many kitchen teams are forced to speed through the workplace while carrying heavy objects. Chef and cooks move and walk faster during the peak period. Slip and fall accidents can happen during this period if the floor is slippery, wet and oily.

Injuries from slips, trips and falls are the second most common type of issues kitchen staff face.

Unfortunately, workplace slip and fall accidents are so common that they go underreported by news portals in Malaysia. This leads to normalising these accidents when steps should be taken to keep kitchen staff safe from workplace injuries. 

Oil spills, wet floors, stray fallen food, and a shift in balance is all it takes to send a cook backwards. Luckily, this team member did not accidentally hurt himself from holding or grabbing onto sharp or hot kitchen equipment.

Keep the floor safe to prevent accidents that result in serious workplace injuries.

We’re not talking about just some bumps and bruises when it comes to kitchen workplace injuries. An unlucky worker could end up grabbing a boiling pot, tipping over hot oil, or getting sliced by stray knives and other sharp utensils. Hence, the usage of anti-slip solution is an essential step needed to be taken by the owners of Cloud Kitchens.

If Cloud Kitchens don’t enforce proper workplace safety for ALL tenants, a series of unfortunate accidents are likely to happen on your premise. Accidents are not only damaging to your tenant’s team members, but also detrimental to workplace morale.

What Cloud Kitchens need is an effective, SIRIM-certified anti-slip solution that keeps workplaces safe and easy to clean.

You're More Likely To Get Struck By Lightning Than Slip On A Nano'g Treated Floor

We recommend that the best solution for a slippery kitchen floor is to coat a layer of Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating. Our solution effectively keeps the workplace safe by increasing the friction on the floors. The grainy texture gives all footwear types more grip when walking across the room- even if there’s been a spill! Not only that, but the anti-slip layer also has an antimicrobial feature that keeps bacteria or food debris from getting stuck on it in the first place. This makes it really easy to clean before and after shifts. 

Already past the renovation stage? Nano-G experts use a dust-free, noise-free, and fast application process that doesn’t interfere with the workday. The anti-slip solution we use is also non-toxic and safe to be applied even when tenants are around in the cloud kitchens.

It never hurts to lay down extra safety features into your premise, especially when trust is placed by tenants to provide only the best-shared workspace for them. The whole concept of Cloud Kitchens is for teams to be focused solely on food prep and scheduling deliveries after all not about the woes of slip and fall injuries. As we move towards a more digitised world, more entrepreneurs are leaping forward in being part of the Cloud Kitchen ecosystem. You can only expect to see a need to stand out.
