The dangers of water damage in healthcare facilities

Water damage poses a significant threat to the safety and functionality of healthcare facilities. From the mild seepage of moisture into walls and ceilings to floods, the consequences of water leaking into buildings are severe and potentially dangerous. Mould growth, structural decay, compromised indoor air quality, and electrical hazards are some of the many challenges healthcare facilities face when water damage occurs. The impact can extend beyond mere inconvenience, compromising patient safety, operational continuity, and financial stability.

Water damage can be dangerous for healthcare facilities. Inconvenience is one thing, but compromising patient safety can have far-reaching devastating effects that could lead to medico-legal cases.

What is Hospital-Grade Waterproofing?

Hospital-grade waterproofing is a specialised method designed to protect healthcare facilities from water damage. Unlike traditional waterproofing techniques, which often involve invasive procedures that disrupt patient comfort and pose hazards to occupants (such as volatile compounds, dust, noise, and structural hacking), hospital-grade waterproofing employs advanced materials and technologies. These innovations create a robust barrier against water seepage, mould growth, and structural deterioration without compromising occupant health and safety. This approach ensures long-term protection while maintaining a safe and comfortable environment for everyone in the facility.

Waterproofing For Toilets And Bathrooms At Home

Due to the elevated humidity levels and frequent water usage, your toilets and bathrooms are highly susceptible to water leakages caused by hairline cracks.

Your home’s toilets and bathrooms might not be the first places that come to mind when considering essential home improvement projects. However, the significance of waterproofing these areas cannot be overstated, as they are high-humidity environments that are particularly vulnerable to water damage. Moisture can seep into walls, flooring, and ceilings, causing structural deterioration over time.

Water leakages in bathrooms can wreak havoc on your home, leading to costly repairs and renovations. That’s why waterproofing acts as a barrier – not only does it safeguard your home’s structural integrity against potential damage, but it also protects your loved ones from respiratory hazards like nasty mould growth.

4 Reasons To Waterproof Your Home’s Toilets & Bathrooms.

Often seen in many home toilets and bathrooms – signs of water leakage problems are often ignored until they cause severe damages that become even more expensive to address later.

1. Protecting Your Home from Damages.

Moisture that seeps into walls, flooring, and ceilings will cause structural deterioration to the building over time. Left unattended, the costs of fixing the water leakage damage can quickly escalate – from just a basic treatment to a total renovation that requires tearing down the place and rebuilding it. Building aside, your bathroom fixtures such as tiles, grout, and plumbing, are also susceptible to wear and tear from water exposure. By waterproofing your toilets and bathrooms, you also protect these fixtures, ensuring they last longer and saving you from the expense of frequent replacements.

2. Preventing Health Hazards.

Did we also mention that excess moisture is a breeding ground for mould and mildew? Mould and mildew growth can lead to respiratory issues and allergies. Waterproofing directly prevents the development of these harmful microbial intruders, so you create a healthier living environment, promoting the well-being of your loved ones. Other than posing health risks – mould and mildew can also be really UGLY and difficult to remove – leading to extensive aesthetic damage; which brings us to our next point.

3. Maintaining Aesthetics.

Mould growths, water stains, peeling paint, and damaged tiles can significantly detract from the aesthetics of your bathroom, turning what should be a sanctuary into an eyesore. These unsightly blemishes not only affect the visual appeal but also compromise the overall ambiance of the space. However, by waterproofing your toilet and bathroom, you can maintain the pristine condition of your walls and tiles, preventing water-related wear and tear, and ensuring that your bathroom remains fresh and appealing.

4. Long-term Savings.

Waterproofing your toilets and bathrooms offers substantial long-term cost savings. Despite the initial investment, it’s a wise financial move when you consider the potential expenses linked to water damage – as mentioned in the first point. Firstly, it lowers repair costs by preventing water from seeping into walls and floors, sparing you the headache and expense of fixing structural issues. Additionally, a well-maintained, waterproofed bathroom can boost your property’s resale value, attracting potential buyers who appreciate a home with bathrooms free from water damage concerns.

4 Reasons To Waterproof Your Home’s Toilets & Bathrooms.

One of the primary reasons people hesitate to opt for waterproofing initially is the perception that it might be “too much of a hassle.”

In the world of waterproofing, the choice between hacking and non-hacking methods can significantly impact your experience and the results. Traditional hacking methods might as well be considered as home renovation, as they involve hacking up existing tiles and walls. Like all renovation processes, the tile-hacking waterproofing method often means disruption, costly repairs, and extended timelines.

On the other hand, non-hacking methods, such as Nano-G’s nanotechnology waterproofing solution, offer a compelling alternative that gets the job done in just between 24 to 48 hours – minimising disruption, saving on costs, ensuring swift project completion, and maintaining efficiency and effectiveness of the waterproofing of your home.

waterproofing technique that may be viable for malaysia weather

Is Torch-on Membrane The Best Waterproofing Solution in Malaysia?

With this bitumen technology dominating about 70% of the flat roof market around the world, many waterproofing contractors in Malaysia are quick to jump on the bandwagon. How reliable is torch-on membrane waterproofing in Malaysia?

A quick search on Google for the term “torch-on membrane waterproofing Malaysia” will yield countless results from different contractors across the country – and a 5-minute read is sufficient for one to know that the technology relies on thick, pre-made bitumen mats that claim to be highly durable after torching. It is a widely used method to prevent water infiltration in various construction projects, and contractors are also pushing for this technology to be implemented in residential units. However, the successful application of this technique can be influenced by several factors, including ambient temperature and the heat generated during the torching process.

In Malaysia’s tropical climate, its weather conditions, elevated temperatures, and other environmental conditions present a unique challenge to the quality and consistency of torch-on membrane installation.

Let’s look into the suitability of this method.

What is torch-on membrane?

Torch-on membrane waterproofing involves applying layers of specialised waterproofing material, typically modified bitumen, to create a sealed and water-resistant surface. The mats are at least 3mm thick, and the term “torch-on” refers to the application process, where heat is used to melt the modified bitumen mat so that the treated material adheres securely to the substrate – typically flat concrete surfaces.

Torch-on membrane waterproofing is only durable when done right.

Torch-on membranes require the application of heat to create a secure bond with the substrate. In Malaysia’s hot and humid climate, the high temperatures can make the application process challenging, as the material can soften quickly, affecting the installation quality. Moreover, the high humidity often means trapping moisture beneath the waterproofing bitumen layer, which causes pressure to build up over time – threatening the structural integrity of the concrete and bitumen layer simultaneously.

Additionally, torch-on membranes can be sensitive to UV radiation from the sun. Malaysia’s intense 12-hour sunlight all year round can cause the membrane to deteriorate more quickly over time compared to other countries, leading to cracks, brittleness, and reduced waterproofing effectiveness.

Some of the key disadvantages of torch-on membrane waterproofing in Malaysia’s tropical climate include the following:

1. Effects of hot weather on workmanship

Working under the scorching sun and enduring the elevated temperatures during torch-on membrane installation can significantly impact the workmanship and overall performance of the bitumen layer’s application process. The intense heat not only affects the comfort and safety of the workers but also introduces challenges related to maintaining optimal conditions for proper adhesive melting and bonding. The combination of high ambient temperatures and heat generated from the torching process can lead to inconsistencies in the adhesive melting phase, potentially compromising the integrity of the waterproofing system. Moreover, the discomfort caused by the heat can lead to reduced work efficiency and productivity, as workers may be inclined to rush through the installation process to minimise their exposure to the heat.

2. Issues with adhesive melting and bonding

Consistent adhesive melting and bonding of the bitumen layer are crucial for the long-term effectiveness of torch-on membrane installations. When workers rapidly install the layer to escape the hot weather, this can cause uneven melting of adhesives and insufficient bonding between the membrane and the substrate. Ultimately, this leads to weakened waterproofing properties, reduced durability, and potential leakages over time. Inadequate adhesive melting also affects the uniformity of the application, which is essential for creating a seamless and reliable waterproofing barrier.

Poorly maintained torch-on membrane will have a significantly shorter lifespan, evident through signs of splits and cracks that can allow water to seep through. Source.

3. Bubbling from trapped moisture beneath the bitumen layer

Bubbling arises when pockets of trapped moisture or air become encapsulated beneath the membrane’s surface. This issue can arise due to improper adhesive melting as mentioned earlier, suboptimal torching techniques due to untrained workers, uneven substrate preparation due to manufacturing defects, and environmental conditions such as Malaysia’s extremely fluctuating tropical weather of rain and shine. Thus, these bubble pockets compromise the membrane’s ability to form a seamless and effective barrier against water infiltration – which leads to the next problem.

Blisters such as shown above are a common problem for torch-on membranes due to trapped moisture and air during the application. Source.

4. Repeated cutting and patching of bitumen layer as repair

Addressing the aforementioned bubbling problem involves cutting up and patching over the membrane. This means that instead of a complete removal, the affected section is meticulously cut out to allow the trapped moisture or air to escape. Subsequently, a fresh piece of membrane is skillfully applied over the excised area. While contractors argue that this approach minimises the need for a comprehensive replacement, the potential long-term repercussions from the accumulation of patches negatively affect the functionality and aesthetic appeal of the installation. With each additional patch, the numerous seams and joints resulting from extensive patching could weaken the system’s resistance to water infiltration. Aesthetics-wise, discrepancies in colour, texture, and alignment between patches and the original membrane can lead to an uneven and unprofessional appearance.

Delamination happens when the membrane layer separates from the flat roof’s surface due to poor workmanship. Source.

5. High expertise is required for the proper installation of torch-on membranes

Proper installation of torch-on membranes requires skilled workers who are trained in the correct application techniques. Inadequate installation can result in poor waterproofing performance and costly repairs, often borne by the client. Delamination is also a common problem in torch-on membrane waterproofing. The membrane layer gradually detaches from the concrete surface if the membrane is not heated correctly, or when moisture is present during the application process. Experts in this bitumen technology must be highly trained in the standard operating procedures from pre-application to post-application for sustainable success.

Additionally, your safety relies solely on the torch-on membrane worker’s work procedure – as evident in this fire incident.

While torching involves manual labour, it pays for the contractors to hire experienced workers instead of skimping on human resources to prevent unfortunate incidents like causing fires in the clients’ buildings. Source.

In October 2019, a significant fire erupted at the SkyCity Convention Centre in Auckland, New Zealand. The site, a major construction project, was engulfed in flames for several days. The fire’s rapid spread was attributed, in part, to the use of torch-on membrane waterproofing, a construction material that proved susceptible to ignition. The catalyst for the blaze was a worker who inadvertently left a blowtorch unattended, causing the membrane to smoulder. This eventually led to the fire’s ignition and subsequent expansion. The incident garnered widespread attention due to its immense scale, the challenges encountered in extinguishing the flames, and the ensuing discussions regarding construction safety practices. Notably, all the workers present were experienced professionals.

According to a report by Fire and Emergency NZ, the fire originated from the smouldering of the cardboard core within a waterproof roofing membrane roll. This smouldering persisted for over 30 minutes during a lunch break before escalating into a full-blown fire, which persisted for a period of 10 days.

When it comes to waterproofing, it is best to choose a well-rounded solution that is durable and safe throughout the application process.

The Ministry of Health of Malaysia (MOH) certification guarantees that Nano-G meets the highest health and safety standards, ensuring that our method is perfectly human-safe and eco-friendly, from pre-application to post-application. Altogether, our hospital-grade nanotechnology proves to be the ultimate solution in promoting a secure environment for home occupants and businesses alike.

The NanoVerify certification further validates Nano-G’s quality and responsible nanotechnology practices. The highly coveted certification verifies that our anti-slip solutions meet the rigorous standards set by the certification scheme, further emphasising our commitment to transparency and excellence.

Conclusion

While torch-on membrane waterproofing offers durability and effectiveness, its suitability in Malaysia’s tropical climate requires careful consideration of its drawbacks. The challenges posed by heat, UV exposure, maintenance, and flexibility raise questions about its safety and long-term effectiveness.

Alternatively, consider modern waterproofing methods that address these challenges such as Nano’G’s Nanotechnology Waterproofing solution. Consult our waterproofing experts to understand the unique demands of Malaysia’s weather so that you can make better-informed decisions in selecting an effective waterproofing solution for your home or commercial building.

Water leaks coming from your upstairs neighbour’s unit can be a big complication and a costly problem, especially if you live in a condominium or apartment building. Not only does it invade your personal space, but it can also cause serious damage to your property. In a worst-case scenario, dealing with inter-floor water leakage issues in your home can be even more complex if it’s affecting the unit downstairs since you also need to consider the impact on your neighbour.

When you have inter-floor water leakage, it’s crucial to figure out who’s responsible and find an amicable solution. In this article, we’ll explore the complications of dealing with inter-floor leakage and practical solutions to navigate this challenging situation and protect both your property and your relationship with your neighbour.

Case Study

Homeowner discovers bathroom water leakage caused by neighbor but faces refusal to cover repair costs. Source

In a recent incident on June 28, 2023, homeowner Lisa discovered water leakage and yellowish spots on her bathroom ceiling, indicating a probable leak from her upstairs neighbour’s bathroom. Despite Lisa’s efforts to address the issue by informing the neighbour, they have adamantly refused to repair the leakage spot and offered various excuses. This situation has left Lisa frustrated with her neighbour’s lack of responsibility.

Seeking a resolution, Lisa reached out to property management expert Mr. Zhang Wei Yue for guidance and assistance. Here are the key steps and recommendations outlined by Mr Zhang:

My upstairs neighbour has a water leakage problem that is affecting my unit. What should I do?

Solutions for Water Leakage Problems in Your Neighbourhood Mosque

Ensuring that your neighborhood mosque is safe and clean for the community begins with the correct waterproofing method.

A mosque is a holy place of worship that accommodates many worshippers on a daily basis. On top of functioning as a place of worship, mosques in neighbourhoods also serve as safe places for community gatherings and youth activities throughout the year. Thus, ensuring that the mosque is clean and free from water leakage problems by waterproofing the building is paramount to the safety and comfort of worshippers and visitors alike.

Mosques are also considered architectural wonders. In Malaysia, we see an increase in the number of visitors – both Muslims and non-Muslims – at some of the iconic mosques in Malaysia such as the National Mosque (Masjid Negara) in Kuala Lumpur which is considered one of the most beautiful mosques in our country. Hence, it is also crucial to maintain these sacred structures to protect our national heritage.

Maintaining existing facilities is just as important as upgrading them.

Maintaining the waterproofing properties of a building isn’t something that most occupants have on top of their minds when discussing maintenance. For starters, waterproofing is often taken for granted and mistaken as a permanent attribute of a building – and everyone casually assumes that the engineers and architects who built the structure have taken waterproofing into account.

Secondly, the water damage caused by subtle water leaks behind the walls and ceiling takes a while to become visible enough to notice, in the form of yellow stains, mould growth, warping and bubbling, etc. This is especially common in buildings with poor waterproofing works as the signs of water damage will not appear until months or even years have passed. By the time the stains become noticeable, the damage would have been extensive and expensive to repair.

Neglected waterproofing around the wudhu area in the mosque causes peeling paint on the walls that are not tiled, on the opposite side of the washing area.

As for the facilities in mosques, the ablution area or tempat wudhu has the highest risk of facing water leakage problems due to the very nature and function of the room in which it was built for.

Wudhu is a physical and spiritual act to purify oneself and is required by Muslim prayers to go through before praying.

The tempat wudhu is equipped with many water faucets and drainage to accommodate more people when they wash before praying. One can imagine the frequency of exposure to wetness and high humidity in that area. Thus, if the area is treated with poor waterproofing methods, the results are visible in the form of peeling paints, water-damaged walls, mould, and malodour – all of which would make prayers feel uncomfortable during wudhu.

Here’s a video footage we captured during our visit to a client’s mosque wudhu area to inspect and solve the waterproofing issue.

A Comparison Of Waterproofing Services in Malaysia

Understand what each of these most popular waterproofing companies offer and the technology they apply.

Waterproofing plays a crucial role for the structural integrity of a building, and any rookie engineer and architect who underestimates the severity of water damages were quick to regret their negligence in this area. Constant exposure to water, moisture, and high humidity can cause severe damage to a building over time, particularly in the form of rotting, rusting, cracking, and warping – not to mention enabling hazardous fungi and mould to thrive. This is a common occurrence for buildings that are in Malaysia thus waterproofing is essential for the tropical weather in the country.

Having said that, the waterproofing industry in Malaysia is growing, just as the awareness of its importance. These companies offer services that are primarily targeted to prevent water from penetrating through building walls and ceilings, but they employ different methods and solutions in overcoming water leakage problems.

Let’s take a look:

Different Waterproofing Methods in Malaysia

Here’s a quick rundown on popular waterproofing methods in Malaysia.

PU Injection

The PU Injection process involves drilling holes into the affected area.

Contractors who offer PU Injections as a waterproofing method usually drill holes into the floors, walls, or ceiling areas before pumping PU into the hole using an injection gun. The chemical composition in the injection is then triggered to expand and fill up the gaps of the walls or ceiling in hopes of filling up the cracks.

Torch-on Membrane

The torch-on method is popular for waterproofing flat roof areas.

Torch-on waterproofing, also known as bitumen torch-on, requires a torch to heat fuse asphalt material directly onto the roof. This process then creates a waterproof barrier that covers the entire roof surface at an even thickness. It is often used on flat roofs that have a common problem of puddling and ponding rainwater that sits atop the roof for extended periods of time.

Cementitious Waterproofing

Cementitious Waterproofing involves application of cement to treat water leakage issues.

The cementitious waterproof coating is a two-component coating that offers breathability when applied, on both the outer and inner side of concrete and masonry surfaces. In addition to keeping moisture out, these coatings can prevent damage from mold, mildew and water infiltration.

Rubber membrane

Rubber waterproofing paint is also known as elastomeric waterproofing paint.

Rubber waterproofing paint is made of liquified oil, latex, or rubber to be applied onto surfaces either with a sprayer or a painting tool. To give the finishing a bit more structure, a fibre texture layer is added between paint layers to further strengthen its waterproofing qualities.

Preventing Water Leakage Problems in Hotels & Resorts

With hundreds of water outlets in the building, don’t leave water leakage encounters up to chance.

Hotels and resorts can host up to hundreds or thousands of visitors per day, which means tons of water running through bathrooms, commercial kitchens, swimming pools, and spas by the minute across an extensive network of pipes and valves from the basement to all the way to the rooftop. Having said that, your hotel management’s contingency plan should take into consideration the potentially major problems which can arise from even seemingly small water leakages. After all, water leaks in hotels & resorts are bound to happen due to wear and tear.

Signs Your Hotel Has Water Leakage Problems

During periodic inspections conducted by your staff, they may have spotted a few of the following visual indicators on walls and ceilings:

• Yellow water stains
• Peeling or bubbling paint
• Black mold, green algae growth
• Sagging ceiling

Other than visual cues, water leakage problems can be identified through a distinct musty smell, and the atmosphere of the room or space usually feels heavy and humid.

These common signs of water damage are a clear indicator that your premise is in need of waterproofing work. Source

Here are more details on water leakage signs your management should look out for:

The Consequences of Water Leakage Problems On Hotels & Resorts

1. Unpleasant aesthetics and bad first impressions of your hotel.

Water seepage into walls; either from the rain or bad plumping – does plenty of damage to wallpapers and paint. A paint job well done can look like shoddy work if the walls are continuously exposed to wetness. The most obvious indicators of water leakage problems are yellow stains and mold growth on plaster ceilings and walls.

The most obvious indicators of water leakage problems are yellow stains and mold growth on plaster ceilings and walls. Source

2. Poor customer experience.

Guests of hotels and resorts have set expectations on comfort and cleanliness before they check in to their rooms. Water leakage in rooms can cause dampness on the beds and sheets, plus an unshakeable musty odour that contributes to the overall uncomfortable feeling. Guests are more likely to leave bad reviews than good ones – and you don’t want to invite this kind of PR disaster.

3. Health & safety hazards.

Water damage affects the structural integrity of any building, and this fact is particularly concerning in larger buildings where multiple floors are affected by the leakage. On top of structural damage, water leakage can short-circuit electrical wirings inside or along the concrete walls, presenting a fire hazard. Last but not least, the airborne byproducts released by mold and mildew growth cause a myriad of diseases.

4. Preventable problems, and unnecessary costs.

These visual and structural problems, while being completely preventable, can end up costing the hotel a hefty sum in terms of time and budget; worse if the issue persists and is left unchecked. Consider the opportunity costs when the management finally decided to renovate the building to rectify the issue while losing out customers during the peak season.

Nano-G Waterproofing Your Exterior Walls For Your Bungalow

Everything To Know About Waterproofing The Exterior Walls Of Bungalows

The exterior walls of a building are exposed to rain, moisture, humidity, and extreme temperature changes – all of which over time will damage the walls and promote the growth of algae on its surface.

Bungalows have more exterior walls that are exposed to weathering compared to their semi-D and terrace counterparts. This means that bungalows are more likely to encounter rain or water seepage from the exterior wall into the interior rooms – a common construction defect experienced by many homeowners. As common as water leakage problems are, they can be quite a nightmare to deal with. Moreover, water damage comprises structural integrity, on top of turning the interior wall of your home or building into a breeding ground for humidity-loving mould and microbes. Prevention is better than cure. Thus, waterproofing the exterior walls of the bungalows is the most effective way to resolve or prevent future infiltration or damage sustained from weathering.

Bungalows are one of the most aesthetic buildings for homes. It is very important to protect the exterior walls as it is one of the assets for every bungalow. Without maintenance it will have visible dust, pale paint and mouldy layout of the home and it makes it less attractive.

The Best Method To Waterproof the Exterior Walls of your Bungalow

There are many waterproofing solutions available in the market, each marketed differently and offering varying value propositions. However, once homeowners understand that it is really only a matter of addressing the root cause of the problem, they eventually came to understand that Nano-G offers one of the most effective waterproofing solutions for exterior walls – from waterproofing wall paints to concrete.

Nano-G employs Nanotechnology in its solutions, whereby particles can penetrate deep into surfaces to create water-repellent structures at a nanoscale; that is 1000 times tinier than microscopic elements! These nano-sized water-repellent structures are inside the pores of paint and concrete, giving the treated surfaces an additional hydrophobic trait without changing their aesthetics or sealing the pores.

Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing Solution help to repel rainwater from seeping into the pores of the walls with hydrophobic layering.

In totality, Nano-G’s waterproofing methods ensure effectiveness, a prolonged lifetime of your building’s surface, and no visible changes to the original natural appearance of the materials.

Learn about the science of how it works, read more about our 4th Generation of Nanotechnology Waterproofing Solutions here:

The Benefits Of Waterproofing Exterior Wall Go Beyond Simply Preventing Water Seepage.

1. Waterproofing exterior wall can prevent algae and mould growth.

During rainy seasons, the high humidity from outside the building can seep through the exterior walls into the home, causing interior dampness. This dampness poses another problem in many homes and is often the cause of peeling paint (indoors and outdoors), water leakage, and unsightly mould growth on the walls. These mould patches ruin the aesthetics of the building and can cause health issues to occupants over time.

A well-protected and properly-maintained bungalow can prevent all these issues and it is worth the investment to waterproof your bungalow.

2. Waterproofing exterior walls can help maintain the aesthetic of the building.

Layering your exterior walls with a hydrophobic surface helps the building repel water and allows the surface to dry more quickly. Taking air pollution and other environmental factors into consideration, the water-repellent layer also prevents dirty water and dust from settling on the walls. This also means that you can prevent exterior wall paints from deteriorating, which reduced the overall appeal of your home.

Waterproofing with Nano-G Nanotechnology Solutions helps to maintain your bungalow even if it have been well-occupied for quite some time. Our solution does not require hacking and will keep your building safe from reconstruction damages.

When Is It Necessary to Waterproof your Exterior Walls

Waterproofing the exterior wall is best done at the time of construction, but if your bungalow is much older and waterproofing was not accounted for – it’s time to give it a go.

Ideally, it is best to waterproof the bungalow before moving in, or when the exterior wall is still new and free from hairline cracks. Alternatively, you can safeguard your bungalow’s exterior walls any time you find convenient.

Take note that over time, walls can develop cracks and they generally start from the weakest areas of the wall. If you have already been residing in the bungalow for a few years, it is imperative to find these cracks and seal them first to avoid further water leakage issues.

Nano-G Waterproofing Your Exterior Walls For Your Bungalow Preventing Cracks

Don’t wait for the cracks to be visible, waterproof the exterior walls! Prevention is better than cure when it comes to damages to your bungalows.

How to find the cracks? No worries, we got you. At Nano-G, we provide FREE inspection for homeowners like yourself to identify the root cause of leakage problems and wall cracks, before proceeding with Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing Solutions.

Here are our past customers’ thoughts towards Nano-G. Don’t wait for your problem to be severe, just call us to fix your exterior wall issue or need your new bungalow to be waterproof with a money-back guarantee.

Nano-G 4th Gen Hospital-Grade Waterproofing Solution

Nano-G Introduces Its 4th Generation Hospital-Grade Nanotechnology Waterproofing Solution

After 10 years of continuous research, development, servicing, and solving waterproofing issues for commercial & residential buildings across Malaysia, the company announces its 4th breakthrough in technology.

Nano-G is widely known in Malaysia’s waterproofing industry as the pioneer in leveraging the power of nanotechnology to prevent and overcome water leakage issues in homes and buildings. The company uses a water-based, liquid formulation that creates water-repelling protection on treated surfaces. Instead of sealing the porous surfaces with a film or later, the solution penetrates the microscopic capillaries of the surfaces that no elastomer or polymer can reach – to create a hydrophobic effect from the inside out.

Since its first introduction in 2010, the formulation has evolved over 4 generations after continuous R&D in Greece.

The superiority of Nano-G Hospital-grade Nanotechnology 4th Generation Waterproofing as compared to other regular or conventional waterproofing solutions in the market can be attested by client testimonials and various regulatory bodies in Malaysia.

Here are 5 validated pieces of evidence of the quality of our nanotechnology solution.

1. The first Waterproofing Solution in Malaysia to receive the NANOVerify certification by SIRIM.

As the industry’s pioneer, Nano-G had invested heavily in nanotechnology solutions even before the term was trending. With a growing interest in nanotechnology in recent years – both globally and locally, we see a rise in false claims by companies and independent contractors promoting their products and solutions as “nanotechnology”.

To combat the widespread misconception and protect the interest of the scientific community, SIRIM has enforced a set of stringent tests and standards for nanotechnology products and services in Malaysia under NANOVerify, to undergo various characterization of nanoparticle tests. It is a branch of nanometrology that deals with the characterization, or measurement, of the physical and chemical properties of nanoparticles.

Nano-G is the first company in Malaysia to receive the NANOVerify certification. The company is awarded the NANOVerified and NANOTrusted marking scheme for labeling and advertising usage. These accreditations serve as an assurance to clients and customers that Nano-G’s solutions are genuine as claimed.

The NanoVerify certifications ensure the genuineness of our Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing Solution.

2. Engineered with a patented Greek Technology with CE quality marking scheme.

Nano-G Hospital-grade Nanotechnology 4th Generation Waterproofing is patented and validated by trusted quality assurance boards in Greece and Europe. The solutions we use bear the CE quality marking scheme, indicating that the formula has been assessed by the manufacturer and deemed to meet European safety, health, and environmental protection requirements.

This modern structural building is The Onassis Cultural Center in Greece. The building complies with European Safety standards to maintain the structures of the building, and their engineers use our Nanotechnology Waterproofing Solution to adhere to the policies.

3. Hospital-grade and environmentally friendly with Green Label certification.

The environmentally-friendly aspect of Nano-G Hospital-grade Nanotechnology 4th Generation Waterproofing solution has successfully gained approval from the Singapore Environmental Council (SEC), which simultaneously represents recognition from the Global Ecolabelling Network.

This green certification is one of the key factors that lead to Nano-G being selected as the appointed waterproofing specialist for all government hospitals across Malaysia. On top of the solution’s safe-if-inhaled and low VOC properties, Nano-G’s non-disruptive waterproofing methods allow hospital employees and patients to carry on with their day-to-day operations and routines.

4. Nanotechnology coating is high breathability and non-film-forming.

Nano-G’s formula does not create a “plastic film” on the treated surface. Instead, the solution has the same viscosity as water, is invisible and odourless, and creates water-repelling protection from the inside out of the treated surface through deep penetration of the hydrophobic nanoparticles into the pores of the substrates. Since this treatment does not seal the pores, it eliminates any chances of trapped moisture or humidity from beneath or behind the treated surface – and allows moisture to evaporate through the open pores to relieve negative capillary pressure. In this manner, swelling and cracking of treated surfaces are prevented.

Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing solution penetrates treated surfaces to create a hydrophobic layer inside out.

Nano-G-Non-Breathable-Waterproofing Coating Causes Trapped Moisture

Non-breathable waterproofing coatings are thick, separate layers applied on top of existing floors. That means trapped moisture are unable to evaporate through the layer, and will instead build up pressure beneath the film – eventually causing bubbling and peeling to occur.

5. Long-lasting, UV-resistant and withstands harsh weather.

Modified surfaces that are treated with Nano-G Hospital-grade Nanotechnology 4th Generation Waterproofing solution are resistant to abrasion, deterioration, or mechanical wear. The modified surfaces are also more resistant to UV radiation damage from the Sun and do not turn yellow over time. These factors combine to demonstrate that treated surfaces exhibit prolonged durability against various weathering and human-use damages.

Nano-G's Waterproofing Solution UV-Resistant

Nano-G Nanotechnology is a long-lasting waterproofing solution that protects your premise against damages from rain and harmful UV rays.

ENDING

Nano-G Hospital-grade Nanotechnology 4th Generation Waterproofing solution has an impressive track record of success as the most effective water repellent for cement, mortar, grout, porous or natural stone.

What To Do When Water Is Leaking From The Apartment Unit Above Yours?

Who should take responsibility for a water leakage problem in a condominium, apartment, or flat unit? Read this article for the right course of action if you’re facing a water leakage from the unit upstairs.

The legal term for this particular problem we’re discussing in this article is “inter-floor leakage” – which is described as water damage to your ceiling. The Strata Management (Maintenance & Management) Regulations 2015 defines this water damage as any evidence of moisture, dampness, or water penetration on your ceiling or the materials that make up your ceiling (Regulation 55).

Inter-floor leakage is particularly difficult to navigate since the root cause of the leakage happens to be in an upstairs unit that belongs to someone else! On top of having to deal with your neighbour above, you may also have to deal with many more stakeholders such as the management of the condominium, contractors, developers, and possibly even legal offices if worse comes to worst.

Fortunately, staying informed can save you a lot of time and unnecessary back-and-forth communication with various parties – and we’re here to equip you with the right knowledge.

Did you know?

Water leakage is one of the most common problems in buildings, new or old – and conflict between unit owners can escalate when they refuse to give in to rectify the problem. Thus, Nano-G advises every new condominium or apartment owner to waterproof their unit before moving in to ensure double protection and prevent leakage in the next few years.

Now let’s get started on the important bits.

If the unit above yours is the one with the leakage issue, but your unit is the one suffering from the water damages (eg. flooding warping, mold, water damages, etc.), but the owner just refuses to rectify the issue.

1. Make an official complaint to the condominium management (CM)

This move applies if you live in a condominium or an apartment that has its own management office. Following the Strata Management (Maintenance and Management Regulation 2015), you have the right to file an official notice to the management of the building to request an inspection.

The management is then required to perform an inspection within 7 days after you file the notice. They should then issue a certificate of inspection within 5 days after conducting the inspection to identify the cause of the leak and the party responsible for fixing the leakage. If your unit is a new one and is within the defect liability period or still under warranty, you can lodge a complaint to the developer.

Nano-G's Strata Management Regulation Claiming Inter-Leakage Issue for High-Rise Building Tenant

2. What if the owner of the unit above refuses to let the management carry out the inspection?

By law, the owner is required to cooperate, or else they could be fined up to RM50,000, jailed for 3 years, or both. In fact, if there is a risk of property damage and/or a likelihood of endangering someone’s life due to the water leakage problem, the management of the building is allowed to enter by force.

3. How soon should the unit owner get contractors to start repairs?

Repair works should start 7 days after the release of the certification of inspection by the management. If the unit owner has failed or refused to fix the water leakage, the management or the joint management body is to immediately take all necessary measures to rectify the inter-floor leakage. They will then charge and recover all costs and expenses from the owner of the unit.

4. From whom do I claim the reimbursement for the damages on my unit?

If you bought a recently developed condominium, SOHO, or apartment unit and it is still under the defect liability period, you can actually make a claim from the developer.

If your unit is no longer covered by the defect liability period, and the damages you have suffered are caused by water leakage from the unit above you, you can claim reimbursements from the owner. Of course – it is easier said than done. Thus, you can claim the reimbursements from the management of the building, and they will then proceed to claim from your neighbour upstairs.

Is there a better repair alternative to hacking up the floor to repair water leakage?

Is your neighbour or management considering an intrusive renovation to fix the water leakage? Recommend Nano-G to them; we use human-safe and eco-friendly nanotechnology solutions to overcome water leakage problems in homes and buildings across Malaysia.

If your bathroom causing water leakage damage to your neighbour downstairs, and you are uncomfortable with the idea of a full-blown renovation or floor-hacking to rectify the issue – consider Nano-G’s Nanotechnology Waterproofing solutions. With our technology, say goodbye to intrusive hacking of floors in your condominium unit, and save your neighbours from the pain of dealing with the noise and mess.

Nano-G Waterproofing for Concrete Slab Roofs

Waterproofing Concrete Flat Roofs – For Homes and Buildings

Understanding how flat roofs are built can help you identify the best methods for waterproofing them.

Concrete flat roofs are increasingly becoming popular in building designs for both homes and commercial development due to their additional spaces that can be used for utilities (eg. water tanks, pumps, antennas, motor rooms, etc.) and recreation facilities (swimming pools, open decks, etc.). Unfortunately, flat roofs also cause big problems to homeowners and building managers – all of which stem from waterproofing issues.

It is this very reason that flat roofs are no longer allowed to be built on new government buildings.

Identifying the right waterproofing method is not as easy as one thinks; we must first have a basic understanding of how flat roofs are constructed.

1. The base of flat roofs is mainly constructed with concrete slabs.
2. Once the base is constructed, contractors then proceed to install waterproofing and heat insulation materials on top of these concrete slabs.
3. Then, a 5cm thick layer of cement screed is applied over the materials to protect them against the harsh Malaysian weather.
4. Finally, control joints on the cement screed are cut and sealed with elastic bitumen or sealant to guard against cracks.

Left unmanaged, water ponding causes expensive damage to buildings that may have extensive consequences.

With this info in mind, let’s take a look at some of the obvious and not-so-obvious technical pitfalls of flat roofs in homes and buildings.

Visible Problems	Invisible Problems
1. Bad Workmanship Poorly designed flat roofs without adequate drainage or even surfaces lead to water pooling on the flat roofs.	1. Water Ingress Flat roofs leak over time because buildings deteriorate over time. In the event of damage, the building is more susceptible to water penetration as the concrete or cement breaks down from sun and rain damage and erosion.
2. Ponding The formation of puddles on flat roofs is referred to as pooling, and it causes mould and weeds to grow in the drainage and cracks.	2. Heavier Dead Load of Building This causes the concrete decks of the building to deform, deflect, and crack under pressure.
3. Accumulation of Dirt Without slanted roofs for dirt and leaves to fall onto the ground below, flat roofs encourage unsightly depositions of small and large debris that can obstruct drainage if not properly cleaned and maintained.	3. Sharp Temperature Fluctuations The average temperature on a flat roof in Malaysia is 82°C at 1.30 pm and 17°C at 4.00 am. This sharp fluctuation causes intense stress to the flat roofs due to heat-induced expansions and contractions, accelerating wear and tear.
4. Slip Hazard Under wet climates or rainy seasons, flat roofs are slip hazards to people.

Let Nano-G Help You Waterproofing Your Building

Drainage systems may look simple, but require complex calculations for them to be effective and safe for residents of the building.

So, what should you be looking for in sourcing the best waterproofing system to use for concrete flat roofs?

Homeowners and building managers are looking into alternatives for waterproofing their flat roofs due to the intrusive, noisy, messy, and costly nature of hacking up and replacing the existing cement screed and other components.

Thus, coatings and membranes have become the preferred waterproofing method due to their ease of installation.

However, convenience aside – homeowners and building managers must also take into consideration the following factors when evaluating the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of their preferred waterproofing method for concrete flat roofs:

1. The waterproofing method should accommodate the unique degradation mechanisms of your existing building.
2. The initial acquisition costs and life-cycle costs must be accounted for.
3. The contractors involved should have control over the quality of the materials and detailing to ensure optimal performance of the outcome.

Nano-G’s hospital-grade nanotechnology waterproofing solution is proven highly effective in solving water leakage problems on flat roofs.

On top of meeting all three aforementioned requirements in the section above, we have solved several hundreds of water leakage issues in hospitals, hotels, commercial buildings, skyscrapers, bungalows, and more. Our advanced nanotechnology waterproofing solutions are certified Low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) and are thus recognised as safe and trusted for use by the Ministry of Health in our Malaysian government hospitals.

How does Nano-G’s no-hacking waterproofing method work?

At Nano-G, we use advanced nanotechnology to combat water leakage problems, whether it’s preventing or solving. By leveraging on scientific breakthroughs, hacking and drilling works become unnecessary – and this gives us a massive competitive advantage over other companies who also offer waterproofing services.

Our nanotechnology waterproofing method uses a combination of eco-friendly solutions that are transparent and odourless, which is then applied over surfaces or grouts.The solution then penetrates any pores or hairline cracks, fortifying the treated surfaces with a hydrophobic layer inside out – thus repelling any water particles from seeping through.

Nano-G’s solution penetrates treated surfaces to create a hydrophobic layer inside out.

Moreover, our waterproofing solution requires less than 48 hours to complete, as compared to conventional methods that involve intrusive, noisy, and messy renovations inside an occupied building. Thus, over the years, we have risen to become one of the top choices of waterproofing solution companies among our customers and clients.

Is this Nanotechnology Waterproofing method safe?

Our waterproofing solutions are hospital-grade, do not have any adverse impact on health, and are recognized as safe and trusted by the Ministry of Health Malaysia to service all government hospitals throughout the country. We are also accredited by various regulatory bodies such as NanoVerify, ISO and more.

The solutions we use meet stringent international standards, and are certified low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) making it safer than wall paints and various industrial coating chemicals used in construction. We have also earned the Green Label certification as our solutions do not release toxic gases that affect the residents and the workers.

Our Nanotechnology Waterproofing methods are carried out by trained professionals only.

We suggest passing our contact to your neighbour and letting them know that our solution requires no hacking and takes less than 24 hours to solve the problem. We have a monthly installment repayment plan that will be tailored according to your neighbour’s needs, too.

13. How do you charge for your waterproofing service? Do you calculate based on the size of the room (sqft)?

Yes, we provide an estimated cost during the quotation stage based on the size of the work area.

Effective Nanotechnology Waterproofing for Landed Homes

Did you know that it’s not just the bathrooms and toilets of a home that need to be waterproofed?

Settling down in a nice landed property is the dream for many. It’s not an easy goal to reach- but you’ve done it! Still, we find that many homeowners should take into account that there are some extra preventative measures they can take to keep their property looking good and free from wear-and-tear damage for longer, including waterproofing their landed home.

We hear you KB! It gets very frustrating when a new home we move into has water leakage issues.

Here are 4 areas at landed home that need waterproofing!

1. Bathrooms are the cause of most water damage issues at home.

First-floor bathrooms and toilets are a common site for waterproofing issues indoors as they get wet regularly. Without proper bathroom ventilation, moisture from a shower will collect and seep into your grouts! If you’re unlucky, these wet grouts will develop cracks, letting water droplets eventually break through the ceiling below. By the time you notice a leakage problem, your wall or ceiling would have yellow stains.

Some telltale signs of water damage in your home can be seen from mould build up in the corners of your bathroom! Grimey and slimy grouts are difficult to clean because of how deeply the bacteria, mould, and other microbes have seeped into the concrete.

2. Your balcony is at risk of water damage!

Water leakage issues that happen from balcony areas are likely to cause chipping paint on your ceilings and walls. These issues are likely to spread from the balcony to the car porch area, too. It should be noted that both concrete or wooden balconies in humid or rainy environments are at higher risk of damage in humid or rainy environments, as they are exposed to water for longer.

Your balcony should have a drainage system that keeps water from pooling into a pond. Unfortunately, these drainage systems are likely to get clogged with grime, mould, or dirt. Pressure from this pool of dirty water would cause hairline cracks to form on your balcony, allowing water to seep through to the ceiling or wall below.

Nano-G Waterproofing Flat Roof and Balcony Leaking

DJ Chan Fong is planning ahead when it comes to preparing his landed property for Malaysia’s rainy and humid weather. In providing the balcony with an additional Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing layer, he’s keeping the grouts in his landed home safe from stains, microbial growth, and more.

However, you can prevent this by making sure your wooden or tiled balcony areas are properly waterproofed. Nano-G recommends homeowners use our Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing solution as it doesn’t affect the appearance of their balcony tiles while keeping them easy-to-maintain. Our clear, hydrophobic solution makes it difficult for grime, or unwanted microbial organisms from latching on and spreading on the surface.

3. Concrete flat roofs are known to pool water and cause water leakage issues on the ceilings below.

Uneven surfaces collect still water, causing hairline cracks to form from the pressure over time. As a homeowner, you may see this often near air-con outdoor unit areas or at the water reserve tank area. These areas are prone to dampness and are likely to influence water leakage to occur over time.

Many homeowners will see water damage issues at their car porch area, they will notice that a puddle of water has formed somewhere that is covered. This is often a result of the roof above, or water had seeped through in the gutters or drainage corners. By choosing to keep your home in tip-top shape, you keep your home looking as new as the day you bought it for longer.

Notice your concrete flat roof leaking and growing black with mould? It’s time to give your roofs a thorough cleanse and waterproofing with Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing. On top of removing built-up dirt, mould, and grime in your rood, we provide an additional service of painting an extra protective coating too. This service is available upon request.

4. Your home’s exterior walls are likely to get weather damaged, too.

Home may provide a safe shelter for us from heavy rains and hot suns- but they need maintenance and protection too. As your home ages, you might have noticed that its exterior walls have become stained with rain, dirt, and dust. A lot of times they accumulate in places that are hard to reach and clean by hand.

When it comes to providing homeowners with the best nanotechnology waterproofing solution in the market, Nano-G is your go-to expert.

It’s not enough to just use regular house paint on these exterior walls. By applying a proper waterproofing layer, dirt, dust and chrome can easily be cleaned by the rain. This is especially helpful with Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing, our solution that creates a strong coating around your exterior walls that shields the surfaces of landed home from the environment.

5. Your swimming pool area is not safe from water damage, either!

Pools are a great feature to add to your home. They give family and visitors a fun activity to do on weekends, but they can also become a source of headache if not thoroughly maintained. It should be noted that it’s not only the inside of the swimming pool itself that needs to be waterproofed but also the surrounding swim deck. Not only is the swim deck constantly wet, but the swim deck is also at risk of deteriorating from the chemicals from the water too, creating cracks that reach the swimming pool underground. As you can imagine, this waterproofing failure goes unseen.

Nano-G Waterproofing Swimming Pool Issue

Prevention is better than renovation. Badly planned swimming pools are at risk of waterproofing failure. A good practice from homeowners is to thoroughly waterproof their swimming pool decks, tiles and drains with a waterproofing solution that lasts.

Luckily for you, our experts offer Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing services anywhere in the home. Our powerful nanotechnology solution is suitable for use on most surfaces that come into contact with water often. After inspecting your premise, we help plan and apply the solution near swimming pool areas at risk of waterproofing failure or damage over time.

Nano-G New Homeowners Should Waterproof Their Homes

If these water leakage issues sound and look familiar to you, feel free to contact our Nano-G waterproofing experts for a FREE inspection of your landed home. Many of Nano-G’s past projects are with homeowners who were facing persistent water leaking all over the house that they just can’t seem to pinpoint. Our inspection team comes with high-tech thermal scanners that can give you a clearer diagnostic of your problem than your regular contractor.

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!

3. Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing: a no-hack, low noise & clear waterproofing method for your bathroom tiles.

By the time I realised there was a leakage for 3 months, the wallpaper had begun to fade. I wanted to try out Nano-G’s waterproofing technology as I found it to be quite innovative. Nano-G’s on-site team was very professional. They even brought their own footwear and kept the surroundings clean as they were working.

Nano-G How to Determine Reliable Waterproofing Services

How Do I Know If a Waterproofing Solution Is Reliable & Effective?

Looking for a reliable waterproofing solutions provider can be incredibly difficult for home or business owners that aren’t familiar with the industry. Here are some tips on what to keep an eye out for when hiring.

It is not enough to just look into the type of waterproofing solution you need for your home, office, or building. Aside from price comparisons, you have to take into account the company’s reputation as well. In the past, you might rely on recommendations from family and friends to know the quality of work provided by service providers. Choosing a reliable waterproofing solution is crucial for long-term protection.

Instead of relying only on word-of-mouth recommendations, keep an eye out for reviews, awards, and certifications when researching for a good waterproofing contractor or service provider for your home.

1. Look into what past clients have to say about a company’s quality of service

Nano-G takes an extra step in documenting the feedback we receive from our clients on the work we do. We believe that the customer experience and innovative solutions come hand-in-hand when delivering a satisfaction-guaranteed waterproofing solution.

The most pressing matter a property owner, like you, should be worried about is the quality of service of a solution. Quality waterproofing rectification work should last long and come with professional on-site practices. To champion this, many companies will promise their solutions to last for years, or for their team to have the best on-site service. This may be in their non-toxic or fast 24-hour application time. To see if their claims are true, have a look into actual client feedback to get a better idea of a service provider’s quality of work.

With Nano-G, we don’t have to close our restaurant as they get work done within few days. I’m very satisfied with their amazing product and their efficiency. They also contacted me back for updates on the problem. I recommend this service to any restaurants that suffer from the same waterproofing issues.

Mr Jega, La Cocina Restaurant, Taipan, Selangor

I was introduced to Nano-G by a testimonial customer for their practical, high technology, and eco-friendly method of waterproofing. The service team were punctual and worked on time. Every service was professionally done. I would definitely recommend my friends and relatives having the same problem to try out Nano-G for an environmental-friendly solution.

Mdm Pauline Toh, Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur

2. Note down if official recognition was received for the specific waterproofing method they provide

Once you’ve settled for a reliable waterproofing solution of your choice, engage with a service provider that has received official recognition for the specific solution they use. This form of recognition is given by the peers that approve of the quality of the product used by a company’s on-site team. It lowers the risk of having to deal with work that does not reach industry standards.

Be wary of companies that offer a wide range of methods but hold no certifications for any of their solutions. Imagine, a company convinces you to spend hundreds or thousands on the service they provide, only to have their solution be of poor quality that just does not stand the test of time!

Nano-G is recognised by Malaysia’s NanoVerify group. They operate under the Ministry of Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change (MESTECC) and SIRIM QAS International. As the gatekeepers and pioneers of the nanotechnology community, NanoVerify is the only designated certification programme to verify a company’s nanotechnology solution and service claims to match the standards in the industry. It is in their best interest that the quality of Nano-G’s products are representative of the field to push for the integration of nanotechnology in the nation’s everyday life.

We should also mention that Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing solution is manufactured using a special Greek Technology. It’s a revolutionary nanotechnology solution that has been quality checked by trusted quality assurance boards in Greece and Beijing.

3. Make sure your service provider is using safe and sustainable solutions

Aside from industry-specific recognition, you can look into the sustainability of how their businesses are carried out. Conventional waterproofing materials use harsh and strong-smelling chemicals that can be harmful when inhaled during and even after application. Contractors and workers handling these materials have to follow internationally recommended protocols when applying the materials to avoid causing harm to themselves, the property, and the people that live on the premises.

Nano-G Uses Eco-friendly and Sustainable Waterproofing Solutions

To make sure our company is on the right track of delivering quality services, we use a special nanotechnology solution that has received international recognition from the most stringent environmental certification boards around the world.

Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing Solution is Certified and Recognised

United Kingdom Accreditation System (UKAS) is an internationally-acclaimed certification awarded only to manufacturers, businesses, or service providers that maintain their competence, and conformity to the quality assessments they provide.

Lloyd’s Register ISO9001 is a global certification awarded to businesses that continue to improve and maintain their practices to meet the expectations of their customers and stakeholders. That means all our experts, administrators, consultants, and management team comply with a strict ISO when conducting themselves.

ISO14001 is awarded to businesses who use environmentally friendly, low in Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) solutions that don’t harm the environment during our manufacturing, or application stage. This also indicates that the solution is non-toxic and safe for commercial use in homes, offices, or businesses.

The Singapore Green Label Scheme holds the most stringent environmental standards in the market, and Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing has gained their approval with our solution and on-site servicing.

4. Official Recommendation from respected local authorities

The highest honour any company can receive is an official recommendation by the local ministry that is not part of our industry. These institutions serve almost like a formal representation of all the clients we receive, and it is no easy feat to get institutional support.

With the reputation of our workmanship and internationally-acclaimed nanotechnology waterproofing solution, Nano-G is the appointed waterproofing company by the Ministry of Health Malaysia to serve all government hospitals. Our clean, hassle-free, and noise-free on-site services do not interrupt the day-to-day activities of medical staff members and patients in hospitals. We’ve provided our innovative and reliable waterproofing solution to major hospitals around Malaysia and continue to do so.

In this information age, it’s important for consumers to easily conduct their own research on the service providers they wish to engage with.

We’ve listed five criteria to look for when hiring a service, be sure to keep them in mind when making your comparisons between companies. Always remember that most service providers will only highlight the pros of their solutions. The best way to gauge if their services are reliable and effective is by looking into the types of certifications or recommendations they have received, especially for reliable waterproofing solution.

That being said, it doesn’t hurt to have a chat with a customer service representative as well! With respect to our customer’s enquiries, we in Nano-G try our best to be as transparent and open as we can to our customer enquiries- without revealing our trade secrets, of course.

Nano-G Hacking or No Hacking Waterproofing Solutions

Should I Use a Hacking or No-Hacking Waterproofing Method for Water Leaking Issues?

Looking for a quick fix to your waterproofing issues but a little confused on how different methods may benefit your home, business, or office? Here is a simple explainer on hacking or no-hacking waterproofing solutions.

As a property owner, looking for waterproofing fixes can be quite stressful! You might be wondering “How many off days do I have to sacrifice for a full renovation of my leaking bathroom?”, “If I take on a no-hacking service, will it be just as effective?”, or “Which is the best solution for my home, office, or business, really?”

First and foremost, what is the difference between Hacking and No-Hacking waterproofing?

Hacking waterproofing requires the contractor to hammer, or knock at your flooring to fix water leakage issues. The contractor will usually be required to hack out your tiles and failed waterproofing membranes to reapply a new waterproofing solution. Once the solution is fully dried, a new concrete screed is to be applied before the new tiles are laid down on top of it. While hacking methods really do help renew your property’s structural waterproofing, this is a very noisy and dusty process!

Perfectly fine tiles have to be cracked and scraped off your surfaces during the hacking process. If you aren’t willing to let your nice bathroom tiles go to waste, hacking waterproofing should be your last resort!

Many homeowners realise too late that their homes remain dusty even after a thorough cleaning. On top of the mess, you may not be able to actually use your bathroom, balcony, or kitchen during the days or weeks it takes for the solutions to completely dry. That is why we only recommend hacking methods as the last resort when no-hacking methods have failed. Discomfort aside, the micro-dust particles in the air and on surfaces are quite hazardous for loved ones with asthma or other respiratory issues.

Hacking waterproofing is a form of renovation work that requires your contractor to knock open your flooring to solve issues. Oftentimes, this method leaves the home in a big dusty mess that gets into hard-to-reach corners, bedding materials, clothes, and more.

On the other hand, no-hacking waterproofing methods are less invasive. One example of an effective no-hacking method is Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing. Our solution deals directly with hairline cracks that cause water seepage issues in your bathroom, kitchen, balcony, or even car porch. We use an innovative nanotechnology waterproofing solution that penetrates deep into surfaces, providing grouts and flat roofs hydrophobic protection that prevents water from getting absorbed into the concrete. The Greek technology we use to create our solution has been certified by the world’s most stringent environmental standards from the ISO and the Singapore Green Labeling Scheme. To add to that, we are appointed by the Ministry of Health (MOH) as the go-to experts in waterproofing maintenance and rectification for government hospitals nationwide.

Nano-G Hacking And No Hacking Waterproofing Solution Comparison

Are no-hacking waterproofing methods reliable? Here are some of our past articles that look into the different conventional no-hacking waterproofing currently available in the market.

We recommend homeowners only resort to hacking waterproofing when they plan on renovating their entire bathroom, balcony, or kitchen floor. This is especially the case for older buildings, as these ageing structures may not be able to handle the force caused during operations.

Figuring out what’s really causing your water leak is the first step to determining if you should choose a hacking or no-hacking method. Read up on how to tell the difference between a broken pipe or a hairline crack!

Nano-G How To Deal With Water Leaks At Home

We should mention that we are not disregarding conventional hacking waterproofing methods. Some homes with especially bad cases of waterproofing failure should get the proper treatments needed to solve the issues once and for all. In cases where water leakages are caused by hairline cracks, however, one should consider using Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing. We ensure a hassle-free, dust-free, and no-noise on-site procedure with a timely application drying time.

Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing’s track record of delivering an effective final solution for all our clients reflects how good our services are at fixing water leakages, as well as preventing them altogether. If you are still unsure about the reliability of our service and solution, our standard package offers our clients a 2-years warranty for us to come back if there should be any recurring leakages after our rectification work.

Epoxy Waterproofing VS Nanotechnology Waterproofing

Everything You Need to Know about Epoxy Coating Waterproofing and ‘No-Hacking’ Waterproofing Solutions

Are No-Hacking Required Waterproofing Solutions Reliable?

Looking for a way to fix a waterproofing issue and came across “no-hack solutions”? While we pride our nanotechnology waterproofing service to have the best satisfaction guaranteed, we can’t say it’s the same for all no-hack solutions in the market. We applaud the hard work of our fellow experts, but there are still many amateurs in the field that try to promise “cheaper” options. As industry experts, we feel like it’s important to inform you on what you’re in for when you come across epoxy coating waterproofing for your floors.

*Nano-G’s completion time might vary according to the surface area our solution has to cover. Smaller, less humid areas are able to dry within 24 hours after project completion, but larger outdoor areas might take 48 hours or more. Please discuss with the supervisor on the day of your appointment to get a more accurate estimation of when your anti-slip floor coating will be completely dry to use.

How do Epoxy floor coatings for waterproofing work?

Epoxy Waterproofing is a waterproofing method that spreads Epoxy chemicals on the floor in a thick liquid state before getting hardened. These Epoxy chemicals include a resin material and a hardener that will then be blow-torched to fuse and create a new air-tight surface that sits on top of the area you want to be waterproofed.

Here are some things you need to know about Epoxy Coating Waterproofing.

1. Emits hazardous and strong smells during and after application.

Once the Epoxy resin and hardener have been mixed and poured on to the floor as a suitable and even layer, the contractor will then proceed to the “curing” phase of the operation. This is where a blowtorch or a heat gun activates and hardens the liquid Epoxy chemicals. Understandably, this causes harmful smells to emit from the working area.

Most contractors are knowledgeable enough to wear proper protective gear while doing their work- but the question is, will you or an at-risk loved one be able to handle the fumes?

2. Epoxy Floor Coatings have a long drying time.

Another factor you have to take into account is how long it would take for the epoxy floor coating to dry. In our experience, the material could take 3-7 days- sometimes even longer to cure because of numerous factors. We should mention at this point that, conventionally, epoxy is reserved for wide surface areas that aren’t visited often. In many cold countries, they are often used in basements.

Epoxy waterproofing requires contractors to pour out and mix Epoxy chemicals with hardeners on the spot.

That’s why we don’t recommend this solution to be done in places you use often, if you don’t have an alternative room for it.

Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing, on the other hand, is designed to be used in both frequently used or less-visited places. Because our solution only needs one thin layer to work. It usually takes between 24 to 48 hours to dry, depending on how big the surface area is.

3. Some Epoxy floor coatings have a slippery smooth surface.

More specifically, oil-based resin makes things slippery. Epoxy, as a coating, comes in many forms to serve the different needs of different surface areas. This could range from giving an object a greasy finish to further prevent air from corroding metal surfaces, to providing an enhancing varnishing layer to finish off an artwork. Both could result in a sleek and slippery surface that isn’t the best to walk on if you have weak knees and balancing issues!

When walking on epoxy floors, be mindful of your balance.

For the most part, Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing only affects the crack and a little of the areas around it. Our versatile solution is able to waterproof cracks found in grouts, to all the small cracks found in the concrete slabs of flat roofs. Instead of focusing on coming up with a thick additional layer to the floor, our solution penetrates deep into the cracks and effectively plugs up all of the holes.

4. Some Epoxy dries into a hard and brittle material that scratches easily, depending on the type of solution provided.

There are various epoxy waterproofing coating solutions available that you might not be informed about by your contractors. While it’s best to do your research before getting the help of a contractor on your premise, sometimes amateur contractors might mark up the price of their service for a cheaply made solution that yellows or debonds easily over time. And sometimes, they don’t use the most advanced version of the product that delivers the quality you need to completely stop your water leakage issues.

Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing is our in-house brand of waterproofing solution that our experts have worked on for years. They are able to more effectively handle any pressure, scrubbing, or searching that may occur when you do your routine cleaning of the toilet, balcony, or flat roof area. In fact, heavy scrubbing isn’t even necessary! Our solution prevents microbes, fungus, or dirt from clinging onto your grouts when it is time to clean.

5. Debonding, cracks, or bubbling might occur if not properly installed.

It goes without saying that an Epoxy floor coating would require a thorough cleaning and drying of the area before any application of the resin materials. Any water left on the surface or in existing hairline cracks will only get trapped when it tries to evaporate.

bubbling might occur if not properly installed on epoxy waterproofing

Bubbling in Epoxy work a few days after the coating has ‘dried’.

What’s worse is that you may not actually see the side effects of poor waterproofing workmanship until much later, when an underlying water leakage issue has built up underneath your Epoxy floor coating or when cracks and bubbles have started to form.

Instead of creating a separate thick layer that sits on top of your existing tiles or concrete flat roof, our Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing solution actually penetrates deep into all hairline cracks that the naked eye can’t see. This creates a more air tight and secure layer that keeps water vapour from damaging the surface or the concrete slab below.
