How does waterproofing and rigging help in building restoration?

 Water proofing restoration has a major role in facade restoration as well as the overall restoration of the building, and it really helps in giving the building a new life. It consists of multiple types of services and they are the following:

• Sheet membrane
• Fluid applied
• Drainage systems
• Air and vapor barriers
• Traffic toppings for parking decks
• Chemical-resistance liners

Additionally, there are other advantages attached to it. For instance, when a team inspects for water leakage areas, they can find other problems or areas that need restoration and report it to the person in charge. 

It allows for a better picture as to what really is the condition of the building and how can it be improved. The process basically involves the use of a thick liquid chemical. Before the application of the chemical, the area is fully inspected and damaged areas are highlighted. After proper inspection the damaged areas are treated with the chemical. For full roofing and waterproofing, the chemical is poured and spread with the help of rollers. The chemical fills up the gaps and cracks and thus prevent water from moving into them when it rains. Such building restoration services such as roofing restoration and façade restoration have to be carried out after some time to prevent severe damage to the building. In addition to this, waterproofing will help in façade restoration and protect the already done façade work.

Rigging also helps in building restoration services. Rigging material is useful for reaching higher areas in the building. Without any rigging material it will not be possible to fully restore the building. Rigging consists of material that will allow workers to reach higher altitudes so that they can restore the building from every point. Moreover, the restoration and waterproofing services would need the use of rigging. Rigging at a construction site will allow workers to carry their equipment to the top floor at ease. Sometimes the equipment is very heavy so a rigging facility that includes a lift will carry items such as heavy beams or frames to the top floors. In addition to this, heavy power tools and HVAC systems can be moved into place with the help of correct rigging methods. The riggers working at the restoration site are trained to calculate the weight, suspension and balance before setting up the rigging system to ensure complete safety.

Rigging equipment will include hundreds to metal pipes and dozens of wooden planks. The metal pipes are used to set up a whole skeleton structure next to where the restoration work is to be carried out. The wooden planks are then set up on the structure. These wooden planks are set up in a way to make them as stable as possible so that workers don’t feel any discomfort while standing on them. However, despite multiple safety measures, workers tend to lose their balance or they slip and fall off these wooden planks and injure themselves.
