Terrace Waterproofing Explained

Terrace Waterproofing In Chennai

The terrace is an extra open space that refreshes you with fresh air and can be utilized for many purposes. It can be converted into a garden area, patio setup, fireplace, parties, play area for kids, gym, shuttle court, small business setup, office use, etc., Waterproofing the open terrace or the flat roof of the building, is to cover it with the protective membrane that is resistant to water and heat damages. These damages occur due to harsh weather conditions, changing climate, and rain. waterproofing can be done using the waterproofing chemicals either at the time of construction, renovation, or during the repair and maintenance

Why you need Terrace Waterproofing?

The terrace's surface is the critical area because during summer, as it is exposed to extreme heat and UV rays, the concrete surface expands and forms cracks. During winter, the rainwater gets accumulated often and slowly starts to seep into the interior roof through these cracks, holes, gaps, etc. The leakage through the terrace causes dampness, stains, and mold spots in the ceilings, thus spoiling the interior look of the home. Over time, the degradation of the surface of the terrace causes more health and property damage. To save time and maintenance costs in the future, it is also necessary to waterproof it at construction time.

Surface Preparation

To waterproof the terrace, you need to clean the RCC substrate free from oil, grease, and other debris. You have to rake the construction joints to remove the loose concrete and patch the joints with cement and sand mortar. If there are any cracks, pinholes, etc., repair it with a rich cement and sand mortar. Next, is to seal the horizontal and vertical edges, projections, etc., using the mortar goal.

Surface Coating

To start the waterproof coating, first wet the substrate by sprinkling water. Then, apply two coats of cement-based polymer or acrylic modified highly flexible waterproof coating. Care should be taken such that, the first coat should be dry to have the second coat, and each coating must be applied at right angles to each other. The glass fiber mesh can be placed in between the two layers to have extra tensile strength. The third coating follows the second coating once it is dry.

Protective layer

The protective layer is necessary in the place of slopes for draining off water. So, the cement sand mortar in the ratio of 1:4 is mixed with the integral waterproofing compound and applied to the surface as a protective layer with 20 mm thickness. The tiles can also be laid as a protective layer.

Brickbat Coba treatment

First lay the broken bricks of minimum 40 mm thickness to a specified slope and then spread the cement sand mortar to fill the brickbats' void. Now apply 20 mm thick waterproofing plaster and finally finish off with neat cement slurry with the integral waterproofing compound. Let the entire surface cure for 14 days and ready to use.

Terrace waterproofing also follows different systems that have their benefits based on the cost. System 1 cost is approximately Rs. 35 / S.ft which excludes the protective screen whereas System 2 will be around Rs. 45 / S. ft that has better elongation and crack bridging properties. We provide 5 years of warranty on terrace waterproofing.

Bathroom Waterproofing And Shower Waterproofing

This place is more frequently affected by water seepage and mold growth. Whether concrete, tiles, ceramic, or wood, almost any surface can be sealed thoroughly to become water-resistant. First, to use self - adhesive, check the body for adhesion using the test strips on the wall. If it sticks, no issues, but if it shifts position, you need to pre-treat the surface with a primer. Then it would help if you had the clean the bathroom walls and floors free from dust, acid, and grease. This ensures the active bonding of adhesive with the surface. Apply the foil to the corners, edges, and plumbing fittings. Now apply the waterproofing membrane to the walls using a smoothing tool to remove the air pockets. Finally, cover the floor and shower using the bathroom sealing membrane for water tightness.

Kitchen Waterproofing

Water Leakage is the primary concern in the kitchen area, and that has to be waterproofed as quickly as possible. First, you need to fix all the plumbing issues like leakage or crack in pipes. Then waterproof under the kitchen sink with vinyl tiles and weather tech products, customized floor mats to remove moisture. Waterproofing the countertops and wooden cabinets with polyurethane material is essential. Replace the damaged or old faucets and pipes, especially the sink pipes, which often leaks—waterproofing the old kitchen floors by either replacing them or refinishing them with vinyl products that prevent water damage. Don't forget to caulk behind the faucets to avoid cracks in the backsplash area. And above all, keep your kitchen dry by taking care of small leaks and wet spots.

Interior Walls And Ceilings

If you notice any dampness/spots/bulging of painted walls, it is crucial to do the wall's waterproofing barrier. First, we need to use an excellent undercoating of waterproof putty. Then a layer of waterproof damp-shield is done. Due to the waterlogging on the roof during the rainy season, the wetness becomes visible inside the house. This can be treated with advanced latex. First, clean the roof thoroughly and fill the cracks with a crack fill paste. Now apply the polymer-modified motor with cement to withstand the external elements, followed by two latex shield and weather coat seal coats to ensure durability.

Garage And Basement Leakage

The garage and basement walls are waterproofed using a tanking slurry, a cost-effective method to prevent damp walls—first, empty and clean the entire garage and basement area. Then, Inspect the garage walls for any cracks or holes. If it is found, make sure to fix it before waterproof waterproofing two coats of waterproofWaterproofingthe walls and ceilings. Once the walls are dried, clean the floors free of oil, dirt, or grease. Now, apply the epoxy waterproof paint on the floor and let it dry. You can adopt a Box type waterproofing method or Drainage waterproofing for the best results for a waterproofing basement.

Laundry Area And Balcony

The utility area/laundry room waterproofing is essential as a minor hose leak leads to significant repair work. An under-the-waterproof membrane flooring is designed that seals the corners and edges, making it watertight. If you plan on laying a new floor, then vinyl sheets with multiple colors and patterns complement the home decor with more water protection. Ceramic flooring can also be used, which is more durable and non-porous. A silicon caulk helps to seal any leaks around the edges of floor drains or holes to keep the floor waterproof for a cost-effective method. Balconies need proper drainage and correct isolation using a waterproofing membrane.
