Water leakage in waterproofing work can pose significant challenges for contractors, often leading to delays, financial setbacks, and conflicts over the release of performance bank guarantee and retention money.

In this blog post, we will delve into the concept of performance bank guarantee and retention money, discuss how water leakage can impact these aspects, and introduce Akolkar Waterproofing's innovative solution that pinpoints the source of leakage without breaking the existing structures.

By understanding this process, contractors can effectively address water leakage issues, recover their bank guarantee and retention money, and ensure the successful completion of waterproofing projects.

Understanding Performance Bank Guarantee and Retention Money:
In waterproofing contracts, performance bank guarantee is a financial instrument provided by the contractor to the client as assurance that the work will be completed as per the agreed-upon terms.

Retention money, on the other hand, refers to a portion of the contract amount withheld by the client until the completion of the project. These funds act as security measures to protect the client's interests.

The Impact of Water Leakage on Performance Bank Guarantee and Retention Money:

Water leakage can significantly affect the performance bank guarantee and retention money in several ways:

Delays in project completion:
Water leakage often leads to construction delays as additional time is required to identify and rectify the issue.

Breach of contractual obligations:
If the waterproofing work does not meet the required standards or fails to prevent water leakage, it can be considered a breach of the contractual obligations.

Withholding of funds:
In cases of water leakage, clients may withhold the release of performance bank guarantee and retention money until the issue is resolved, causing financial strain on the contractor.
