Did you know that
waterproofing accounts for just 1% of a building’s construction costs but when
ignored, it can be responsible for almost 90% of the damage? Any building or
site of essential purpose requires waterproofing systems which can protect them
from water ingress thereby providing durability and stability to the structure.
Being a leading waterproofing company in the country we must let you know the
basic details about waterproofing and how important it is for your building as
well as your safety.
Through the ages, the practice, methodologies, and even the materials used for waterproofing have undergone rapid evolution. Urbanization, the advent of advanced technology along with the ever-increasing demand for structure safety & longevity, has given rise to many innovative alternatives of waterproofing.
The following are the most common areas where waterproofing is considered essential:
● The basement of the building
● Kitchen, Toilet and Bathroom
● Balcony areas
● Roof /Terrace
● Swimming Pool
● Water Tank
Speaking of commercial and industrial setups waterproofing is mandatory for the following areas:
● Parking Structures & Lots
● Railway & Subway Systems
● Marine Cargo Ports & Docks
● Water Treatment Plants Bridges
● Dams
● Sewage Treatment Plants
● River Locks/Channels & Concrete Dykes
● Tunnels
Now let’s explorer different types of waterproofing:
Cementitious Waterproofing is the most common and easiest waterproofing done across almost all kinds of setups. The only investment required is for a top-quality acrylic additive to get better bonding and a more solid, durable coating. This also ensures a long-lasting shield effect from extreme temperature changes and harmful UV radiations. However, it needs to be noted that cementitious waterproofing does not guarantee higher or longer resilience capacity or a better degree of grip for that matter, in case of natural disasters
Cementitious waterproofing is used in the following type of structures:
● Water Treatment Plants
● Sewage Treatment Plants
● Bridges
● Dams
● Railway & Subway Systems
● Marine Cargo Ports & Docks
● River Locks/Channels & Concrete Dykes
● Parking Structures & Lots
● Tunnels
Liquid Waterproofing is done by the application of a special liquid roof coating best suited
for all types of roof, including flat, pitched, and domed. Also known by the
name ‘Liquid roofing’ it usually involves the application of a monolithic,
fully bonded, liquid-based coating. After applying, the coating cures to form a
rubber-like elastomeric waterproof membrane which is capable of stretching and
returning to its original shape without damage. To provide additional tensile
strength such coating systems are usually reinforced with secondary materials
like felt, asphalt, bitumen, and concrete.
Rubber-based Waterproofing uses a synthetic class M rubber -
EPDM, which is a combination of ethylene and propylene. EPDM rubber is
primarily used to provide a waterproof coating to roofs, vehicles along with
sealing windows, trunks, and even woods. Above all, the material recyclable, flexible and capable
of repelling water. Its cost-effective and durable nature makes it a
popular option for many warehouses and industries including rails, roads and
dams. The cost varies according to the thickness you select.
PU Waterproofing or Polyurethane Waterproofing as it is commonly known made up of two components, base (Polyol) and reactor (Isocyanide). The combination of both these in a specific design ratio creates a liquid coating for waterproofing applications. Due to its ease of installation, PU Waterproofing is very popular among individuals and companies alike. It requires comparatively less skill and supervision, takes faster & easier application and can be used for post-construction applications as well.
