Leaking in a PEB (Pre-Engineering Building) shed can be a real headache. But before you reach for the bucket, let’s identify the culprit!

we conducted interviews and survey on more than 100 PEB shed owners and Contractors. From this accumulated data. we broadly classified these problems in 5 major categories and the results were shocking!

Here’s a breakdown of the common reasons for leaks in PEB sheds:

 Installation issues (17%)- Skimp quality on installation, and you might pay later. Improper installation of roofing sheets and the overall structure can create gaps that let water in.

Roof Sheet Damage (56%)- Over time even the toughest roofing sheets can take a beating from the elements. Damaged or deteriorated sheets are prime suspects for leaks. The deterioration occurs faster in the industrial area beaus of the higher potency of acid rains and relatively slower in rural areas!

Sealant Failure (12%)- Sealants are your PEB Shed’s defence against water intrusion at overlaps and connections. Compromised sealants create openings for leaks

Drainage Problems (8%)- If water doesn’t drain Properly, It can pool and eventually find ways to seep in . Ensure your PEB shed has proper drainage to avoid this.

Condensation (7%)-Temperature fluctuations can cause condensation on the underside of the roof while less common, it can still contribute to leaks if addressed properly.

How to Prevent or Manage Leaks?

Quality Installation: Hire experienced professionals for PEB shed installation to ensure everything is watertight.

Conduct water Leakage tests: it is advised to check the shed for leakage by purposely using jet streams or a water pipe and confirm what is the current situations and condition of the shed n regards to leakages!

Regular Maintenance: schedule periodic inspections to identify and address any damage to roofing sheets or sealants before leaks occur. A proper jet stream wash can help your shed and prepare it for further maintenance.

Proper Draining: Ensure your PEB shed has a functional Drainage system to prevent water pooling.

 Ventilation: Proper ventilation helps manage condensation and reduce the risk of leaks.

By understanding the causes and taking preventive measure, you can keep your PEB shed dry and function for years to come

if your are not able to identify your problem suffer from PEB shed leakage as well, don’t fret!

Corrosion is like a silent enemy, always ready to attack where there’s humidity and chemical fumes. But don’t worry, there are practical and effective ways to shield your structures from its damaging effects.

Here’s How to Stop Corrosion in Its Tracks:

 Choose the Right Materials:
Start with quality materials. Opt for high-grade roofing sheets, and if you’re using galvanized options, make sure they’re top-notch. The right materials are your first line of defense.

 Apply Protective Coatings:
A good protective coating can work wonders. Use coal tar epoxies, zinc-rich epoxies, and waterproofing coatings to give your structures a longer life. These coatings act as a barrier against the elements.

 Regular Maintenance and Inspection:
Don’t skip the check-ups! Regular inspections and maintenance can prevent small issues from turning into big problems. Remember, prevention is always better than cure.

Corrosion might seem like a tough challenge, especially in humid and chemical-prone environments, but with the right approach, it’s a battle you can definitely win. By following these simple strategies, you’ll protect your assets and ensure they last longer and perform better.

Sustainable architecture has many different attributes. It needs a lot of different sets of strategies namely, active and passive. At Makphalt, we’re committed to leading the charge in developing advanced, high-performance membrane technologies designed to safeguard your infrastructure with utmost durability, reliability, and long-term protection.

Waterproofing: Three Primary Strategies for Sustainable Membranes

The technology behind waterproofing is evolving at a rapid pace. Today, with advancements in membrane technology, we can enhance structural performance and provide optimal waterproofing solutions. The focus now is on performance-based membranes that increase durability while enhancing the aesthetic appeal and meeting sustainability goals.

1. Active Reuse

This strategy is changing the use of existing buildings into new forms, maintaining their integrity while bringing environmental benefits. By recycling existing materials, we can significantly reduce the environmental impact of construction and enhance the life cycle of the structure.

2. Heritage Conservation

Reusing existing building materials while preserving historic integrity can help conserve resources and reduce demolition waste. Makphalt’s innovative waterproofing solutions ensure that such projects maintain high performance and weather resistance without compromising on their historical value.

3. Site Optimization

The importance of optimizing site usage cannot be overstated. Waterproofing solutions are designed with advanced energy-efficient strategies that maximize the use of natural resources while reducing operational costs. The addition of high-performance membranes contributes to energy-saving, helping buildings meet environmental sustainability standards.

Passive Design Techniques

Our passive design approaches leverage the environmental conditions around the site to ensure maximum energy efficiency. Makphalt’s waterproofing systems are ideal for areas that face extreme climates such as hot, humid, and freezing conditions.

2. Thermal Mass

By utilizing materials that have high thermal mass, the structures can absorb and store heat during the day and release it at night. This reduces energy consumption for heating and cooling purposes.

2. Off-Grid Buildings

Waterproofing systems by Makphalt are perfect for buildings that do not rely on municipal supply. These buildings use rainwater harvesting systems and solar power, both of which reduce dependency on external utilities and maintain self-sufficiency.

Makphalt leads the charge in advancing the future of waterproofing with its comprehensive solutions that marry performance, energy efficiency, and environmental responsibility. With cutting-edge membrane technologies, we continue to offer the most innovative and durable solutions for construction, ensuring the longevity and sustainability of your infrastructure.
