Internal waterproofing refers to the process of waterproofing the interior areas of the house like walls, floors, and sump pumps to keep it dry and free from water. Before doing the Internal waterproofing process, one has to inspect the most susceptible areas for seepage from the house's exterior. An internal drainage system can be installed, ensuring the water flowing towards the wall and re-routing outside the home. In basement Waterproofing, if the new or the existing drainage system is not working, the use of sump pumps is the most appropriate way to waterproof the home. For effective treatment, trained professionals are recruited for this work.
Waterproofing the flat terraces is a little tricky because the surfaces are flat, and the water gets accumulated above the surface, creating opportunities for leakage. While construction, a slope of 1 in 100 is recommended for terraces. However, the best way to waterproof the deck is to use a waterproofing membrane. This is a continuous thin layer of waterproofing material that offers no water path to enter the structure. A filling layer is on the surface of the membrane. Necessary to give a slope to the terrace. Later, a tile, stone, or any other material is used to finish the surface to withstand harsh weather conditions.
The kitchen is an area that is more prone to leaks, waterlogging, and bacterial growth due to active plumbing. So it needs advanced waterproofing solutions. The crucial areas that need to be waterproofed are sink, Tile joints, splashbacks, kitchen cabinets, Drainage pipes, sanitary fittings, and kitchen flooring. Concrete waterproofing is essential in the kitchen. The other waterproofing procedure includes installing a sump, effectively coating and priming, waterproof grouting and sealants, sealing the wood cabinets using linseed or Tung oil, and under-tile waterproofing. This protects the primary facility from structural, decorative, and health-related damages.
Dampness on the walls, especially after the rain, worsens the plaster, masonry, stones, tiles, timber work, and even wallpapers. The first step is to define the source causes of dampness – increasing dampness, penetrating water, and condensation. Accordingly, the dampness treatments are carried out. Good quality waterproof chemicals and DPC concrete or cementitious coating with plaster covering are adopted for rising dampness. For penetrating water usually caused by rain, leaking drain pipes, or fittings, the protective waterproof layer and the applications are used over the damp area. In case of condensation or dampness in the air, proper ventilation, insulation, and water repellent chemicals are used to treat the wall dampness.
Waterproofing the balcony is necessary to prevent water ingression damages due to rain, snow, or floods. While construction, the terraces are made using concrete surfaces with a waterproofing layer to cover and guard the area. The waterproofing of the balcony ensures completion of penetrating works before waterproofing, choosing a suitable sealant or membrane material, application of additional sealants to the penetrating surface, covering the balcony area with the waterproofing chemical, and adopting a proper drainage plan to overcome the water stagnation.
Damp Ceiling drywall can crack, bow, swell, or gets discolored, which affects the visual appearance of the living space. If it is continuously exposed to water damages, it is more vulnerable even to collapse. To overcome this, Ceiling waterproofing is done by unrolling the waterproofing membrane over the ceiling joists, stapling the membrane on its sides, and applying the waterproofing tape. Finally, two coats of polyurethane sealant are used for complete sealing of drywall.
