If your brand new home has turned into these flakey bubbly wet walls, then you probably missed a bituminous waterproofing coating while building your home. Water seepage is the biggest enemy of buildings. Waterproofing helps to prevent this traumatic event by applying a coating of impermeable material over the walls, roofs, and other parts of the building. Bituminous coating, also known as asphalt coating, is an excellent waterproofing agent. Being flexible, it can easily cover up even hard to reach complex surfaces and thus creates a strong barrier restricting water to permeate through the surface.
