Waterproofing Can Save Lives in Earthquakes

Water Sealing Protects Lives Against Earthquakes In our country, when insulation is mentioned, thermal insulation comes to mind first. However, when insulation is discussed, other types of insulation—namely water, sound, and fire sealing—should be considered as a whole. Among these insulation groups, water sealing has recently become the most prominent, primarily because water sealing plays an important protective role against earthquakes. Energy resources can be used correctly and conserved through water sealing, which holds vital importance. CUBO's CuboSeal Water Sealing Systems deliver flawless solutions in every area where they are applied. Today, as energy sources are diminishing and ecological balance is deteriorating, the entire world has begun to express concern about the planet's future and to propose solutions. Insulation work is foremost among these measures. In our country, while thermal insulation is the first type of insulation that comes to mind, water, sound, and fire sealing also occupy the same overall framework. Particularly in our country, which is located in an earthquake zone, as the durability of buildings is questioned, the relationship between earthquakes and water sealing increasingly underscores the importance of water sealing. Water sealing protects structures from water, moisture, and harmful effects that may come from every direction from foundation to roof, thereby extending the lifespan of buildings. Water sealing, which has been considered since ancient times as protection against rainwater and snow, today protects buildings against corrosion thanks to modern technologies and provides healthy and safe areas. Water is one of the greatest threats to a structure's lifespan and durability. Particularly, it can seep into reinforcement in load-bearing elements and cause corrosion. Corrosion leads to cross-sectional loss, reducing the load-bearing capacity of buildings. Furthermore, certain chemicals found in groundwater can cause irreparable damage to building foundations. For example, in our country today, the lifespan of a building is approximately 50-60 years. In buildings without water sealing, this period is shortened, leading to unforeseen economic losses and creating significant risks for earthquakes. Proper application of water sealing indirectly contributes to the economy.
