Waterproofing Causes & Treatments
Bathroom WaterproofingTerrace & Tank WaterproofingInterior WaterproofingExterior WaterproofingCracks & Joints
Tile Gaps & Joints Waterproofing:
Cause: Water can leak into walls through cracks in tiles, broken tiles, and gaps around bathroom pipes.
Treatment:
1. Wait a day for tiles to set, remove spacers, and clean joints.
2. Mix resin, hardener, and filler until smooth.
3. Press the grout into joints, ensuring full coverage.
4. Remove excess grout and clean joints with a damp sponge.
New Bathroom Waterproofing:
Cause: Addressing a bathroom leakage after tile installation and fixture setup is costly and time-consuming.
The most cost-effective time for waterproofing is during initial construction.
Treatment:
1. Add waterproofing ad Mixture & repair polymer to cement for enhanced strength and water resistance.
2. Apply a 3-layer waterproof membrane using SmartCare multipurpose polymer and tile adhesive mix.
3. Fix tiles with the multipurpose polymer and tile adhesive mix.
4. Fill tile joints with cement or epoxy-based grouts.
Sunshades & Parapet Walls Waterproofing:
Cause: Weather changes and vibrations cause sunshades and parapet walls to expand and contract, leading to cracks and water leaks.
Waterproofing Treatment:
1. Clean & Inspect: Remove loose debris (paint, dust, etc.) and check for cracks.
2. Prime & Seal: Apply a diluted self-priming acrylic coat by brush. For cracks up to 3mm, use a flexible crack sealant. For cracks larger than 3mm, use a textured acrylic filler.
3. Acrylic Coating: Apply two coats of acrylic sealant with drying time between each.
4. Drying Time: Allow 4-6 hours drying time between coats for optimal waterproofing.
Ceiling Waterproofing:
Cause: Harsh weather and wear-and-tear can cause leaks in your terrace ceiling.
Waterproofing Treatment:
1. New Construction: Add waterproofing admixture to the concrete mix for built-in protection.
2. Existing Leaks (Repair):
- Clean & Inspect: Remove debris and check for cracks.
- Prime & Seal Cracks: Apply diluted acrylic coat, then seal cracks.
- Acrylic Coating: Apply 2 coats of acrylic sealant with drying time between each.
Terrace Tiles Waterproofing:
Cause: Poorly filled cracks and gaps in tiles can lead to leaks.
Treatment:
1. Clean & Inspect: Remove loose material (paint, dust, grease, bitumen) with wire brush/water jet. Check all surfaces, especially corners and channels, for cracks with a hammer.
2. Prime & Seal Cracks: Apply Tile primer (brush only). Fill cracks (up to 3mm with sealant, 3-10mm with textured filler).
3. Acrylic Coating: Apply two coats of Acrylic with drying time between each (4-6 hours).
Algal Growth Stop Waterproofing:
Cause: Rainwater and dirty water left on the terrace can cause ugly black spots and slimy algae to grow.
Treatment:
1. Clean & Inspect: Remove black spots and algal growth with wire brush/water jet. Check all surfaces, especially corners and channels, for cracks with a hammer.
2. Seal Cracks: Apply diluted self-priming Acrylic coat (brush only). Fill cracks (up to 3mm with sealant, 3-10mm with textured filler).
3. Acrylic Coating: Apply two coats of Acrylic with drying time between each (4-6 hours).
Garden/Flower Pots & Open Reinforcement:
Cause: Terrace gardens, AC units, and open reinforcement bars can cause leaks due to water buildup and damage.
Treatment:
1. During Construction:
Use waterproofing Admixture as an additive in the concrete mix during construction. This creates a waterproof barrier within the concrete itself.
2. For Existing Leaks (Repair):
Clean & Inspect: Remove loose material (paint, dust, grease, bitumen) with wire brush/water jet. Check all surfaces, especially corners and channels, for cracks with a hammer.
Prime & Seal Cracks: Apply Tile primer (brush only). Fill cracks (up to 3mm with sealant, 3-10mm with textured filler).
Acrylic Coating: Apply two coats of Acrylic with drying time between each (4-6 hours).
Water Tank Waterproofing:
Cause: Water tanks and cement structures can crack and leak due to water pressure, age, and changing temperatures.
Treatment:
1. Clean surface, removing loose debris, and dampen it.
2. Mix Base (850gm), Hardener (900gm), and Filler (3.25kg) thoroughly.
3. Slowly add 750-800ml water while mixing until a brushable consistency is achieved.
4. Apply 1st coat with a brush, let it dry for 4 hours.
5. Apply 2nd coat perpendicular to the 1st, let it dry for 4 hours.
6. Epoxy Triblock cures in 7 days, avoid water contact during this time.
Switchboard Gap Waterproofing:
