Water is one of the biggest enemies of any building. Whether it’s seepage, damp walls, or leakage from the terrace, poor waterproofing can damage the structure, ruin interiors, and cause costly repairs. At Diamond Marketing, we believe in providing expert waterproofing solutions that not only protect your property but also enhance its durability.
In this article, let’s understand how waterproofing is done and why it is essential for every home or commercial space.
Why Waterproofing is Important
- Prevents water seepage and dampness
- Protects walls, ceilings, and foundations from damage
- Increases the lifespan of the building
- Prevents mold, mildew, and health hazards
- Saves on expensive repairs in the long run
Step-by-Step Process of Waterproofing
1. Inspection and Surface Preparation
The first step is to inspect the area carefully to identify cracks, damp spots, and leakages. The surface is cleaned thoroughly by removing dirt, loose plaster, dust, and old paint. This ensures proper adhesion of the waterproofing material.
2. Crack Filling and Repair
All visible cracks, holes, and joints are filled with a specialized crack filler or polymer-modified mortar. This strengthens the surface and eliminates entry points for water.
3. Application of Primer/Coating
A waterproof primer or bonding agent is applied to prepare the surface for the next layers. This increases adhesion and makes the waterproofing more effective.
4. Waterproofing Membrane/Coating
Depending on the requirement, different materials are applied, such as:
- Liquid Waterproofing Membrane – flexible and seamless, applied like paint
- Cementitious Waterproofing – commonly used for bathrooms and basements
- Bituminous Coating – ideal for roofs and foundations
- Polyurethane Liquid Membrane – highly elastic and durable for exposed areas
5. Multiple Coats for Protection
Waterproofing is usually applied in 2–3 coats for strong protection. Each coat is allowed to dry before the next is applied.
6. Final Testing and Quality Check
After the coating dries, a water ponding test or moisture test is conducted to ensure that no seepage or leakage remains.
