QUOTE(vicky.max @ Oct 8 2024, 08:46 PM) Hi all, my outdoor wall lamps are frequently spoiling despite them being so-called 'waterproof' and has this rubber band inside - seems like the rain water is somehow sipping in - what i can do to prevent this? A picture would have been helpful?!   Based on my previous experience( at relatives home), either a silicon or a transparent tape had been helpful, again depending on the lamp type. Else consider getting a newer one |

QUOTE(lowyat101 @ Dec 9 2024, 11:24 AM) Hi, On top of the master bedroom toilet of my house is a small RC slab (around 80 sqft), as per the google map screenshot below. Currently suspected water leaking from here until the GF wall between my house and the neightbour. As the bathroom is fully tiled up, suspected the water leaks behind the wall tiles from the roof down to the GF wall. Got 1 contractor recommending painting with Sika waterproofing (1k), but I think this will not last long? Another contractor recommended torch-on membrane (2.7k). From the posts in this thread, sounds like this is also not a good solution as it's directly exposed to sunlight, might be able to last only a few years. Is it correct? May I know if there's any other better solution? Or the torch-on membrane is ok for this situation? Thanks » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Maybe get few more contractor's opinion? I had been having roof issues for the past 10 years, had multiple repairment came and some even provided warranty, but non resolved the issue, until last year, I went with membrane wrap. Finally its been peaceful year! I'm not sure why you had indicated it doesnt it doesnt stand heat/sunlight? It is a tar like wrap, and its heated to have semi-melting and sticks on the surface. It suppose to last long, and generally comes with long warranty as well. Yeah its a little costly, personally , atleast for my situatio n it worked perfectly. |
