Keep your home healthy – Protect it from Concealed Damp / Seepage – A Silent Killer
Worried about the Health Condition of your Loved Ones? Are they falling Sick? Your home’s hidden damp / seepage / leakage issues can be a reason it can also lead to bigger health problems.
Health issues: Health concerns around mold include infections, allergenic or immunological illness, and non-allergic illness. Asthma is also triggered by the sensitization of dust mites accruing humid, wet regions of a structure. Another health effect associated with structural dampness is the presence of bacteria in an indoor environment. Bacteria require water to grow and multiply. Bacteria are a source for the transmission of diseases, therefore putting occupants’ health at risk by water intrusion into the indoor environment. Water removal and drying of wet building materials at the earliest will likely prevent mold and bacteria growth, therefore reducing occupants’ vulnerability to disease.
Common health hazards include:
- Upper respiratory (nasal and throat) symptoms
- Asthma symptoms in sensitized persons with asthma
- Cough
- Wheeze
- Allergies
Skin Diseases.
It is important to find and resolve the sources of moisture / leakage. As per our understanding there are sources of moisture / leakage that needs to be taken care of and solutions to be determined.

MahaRERA releases SOP to remove delaying developers
Pune
The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) on Thursday issued a standard operating procedure (SOP) to allow homebuyers to remove a developer in case the project was delayed. The project would then be handed over to an expert panel for completion.
The authority, however, clarified that it could initiate such action only against non-litigated projects.
“It will help complete all delayed projects in the state. This is an unique move, probably the first in the country, under the Real Estate Regulatory Act, 2016, which will help the association of allottees (homebuyers) take control of the situation,’’ Vasant Prabhu, MahaRERA secretary, told TOI.
In case of revocation orders, the developer will lose rights to the project and his bank accounts will stay frozen, the order said, adding that the authority would then set up a panel of experts to prepare a project report within four months to decide on future course of action.
The panel would prepare a blueprint for project completion. The blueprint would consist financial details and a detailed roadmap towards arranging the said finances.
The SOP has been issued under section 37 of the RERA Act, 2016, with reference to sections 7 and 8. MahaRERA officials said the authority will only consider complaints received from an association of allottees and not from single homebuyers for such action. “The complainants should not be less than 51% of the total allottees,” they said.
MahaRERA will serve a notice to the promoter with 30-day deadline to present his/her case.
Plywood at external side can create a path for moisture
Detect Issues
Discoloration noted at wall under the window sill.
Describe Issues
As seen by infrared image flow of moisture noted from under the external sill. Ply wood is used under the window sill at external side & crack noted on it. Water seep-in noted from the plywood. Plywood makes the wood porous and susceptible to water damage. Thereby creating moisture path and causing discolouration at internal wall surface. If not rectified timely, moisture will spread and damage the entire wall.
Direct Solutions
We recommend chemical pasting of stone above the plywood with epoxy joint filling.
