Water Tanks  be it underground or overhead, are an essential facility in building. The design and construction of water tanks ensure effective use and prevents leakages. As the building ages there is a wear and tear in the structure and water tanks are no exception.

The water tanks hold large quantity of water which is potable and hence it is essential that no external water arising due to rain or sub-soil water should enter the tanks . Also, the water in the tanks should not leak in the outside surface.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d12xbZwtMW0

The absorption of water into the tanks can be prevented by sealing the cracks and joints from outside whereas the inaccessible portion can be sealed by adequate injection grouting. These works are advisable to be carried out by expert waterproofing contractor.

The internal surfaces of the tank are susceptible to the wear and tear due to the constant filling and usage of water on a daily basis. These surfaces viz tank base ,peripheral wata and walls should be cleaned of all loose materials, cracks opened and thorough cleaned and filled with adequate waterproof sealants.

Post crack filling the cementitious coatings should be applied in 2 coats and the tank filled with water for a minimum period of 48 hours to check the effectiveness of the treatment.

The right choice of waterproofing materials and skilled application are important aspects of water tank waterproofing systems.

Leakages from the bathroom due to gaps in the tile joint

 Wet room is a room too. We are selective about the floor and wall tiles that Adour the wet rooms, viz toilets, balconies of our homes. Aesthetics plays an important part in the choice of tile, colour, size, texture and more, while the laying of tiles on the floor especially its joints are left almost always to the skill and intent of the (Karigar) tile setter in this case.

Ideally, floor tiles in wet rooms should be placed with a gap of 4/6 mm between joints. This gap is achieved using spacers. The benefit of providing tile gaps are:

It takes care of manufacturing errors in tile and bends especially on edges.

Leakages from the bathroom due to gaps in the tile joint
If the situation arises, it is easy to replace a tile W/o impacting the adjoining tile.
It takes care of expansion and movement on the tile floor.
  

Gaps in the tiles lead to leakages from the bathroom or any wet area. to read more click on the link: https://leakproof.in/leakages-in-the-bathroom-due-to-gaps-in-the-title-joint/

Leakages in Modern High Rise Building

Modern High-Rise buildings have typical floor plates stacked one above the other.

The location of wet rooms, viz toilets, kitchens, dry balconies are built around a central core with the passage in between and habitable spaces around it.

In case of leakages in the ceiling of habitable spaces, the obvious link of source of the leakage is sought at the floor above.

Typical ways of resolving leakage issues are by checking for pressure drops in water supply lines to ascertain leakage in the pipes and posting that to check for drain lines and floors.

Conventional solutions involve breaking tiles- floor/wall or both as the situation demands, resolving pipe leakage if any, redoing waterproofing and finally relaying the tiles.

In recent times it has been noticed that this system of leakage resolution gives temporary or no relief in certain cases. It is advised to break tiles only and only if all other options are ruled out and not as the first line of defence.

Modern technologies assist in mapping the likely source of leakage to the exact spot assisting in minimal works resulting in saving of time and convenience.

This can be done by a waterproofing expert with gadgets like Thermal Scanner Moisture Meter, and even Wall and Floor Detector.

An important aspect to note is that, while we may resolve the leakage for now.

The fact that the water found its way through the structure and resulted in leakage below indicates the presence of gaps or passageways.

In short, we can say that the waterproofing is porous.

In such a situation it is advised to carry out injection grouting in the source area as well as in the affected portions of the lower floor to ensure complete sealing of gaps and passageway, which may be existing due to a combination of reasons rising during the construction stage.

We at Leakproof.in provide solutions for all types of internal leakages without breakage.

Terrace Waterproofing of High Rise Building

 Modern Residential /Commercial or Industrial complexes have a large floor plate spanning over several wings , having expansion joint based on the length of the building.

These when not properly taken care gives rise to leakages in the terrace .

Compared to single standalone buildings, multi-wing complexes have a rhythmic set of staircase and lift room blocks at regular intervals.

It is combined with a series of services, like water supply inlet/outlet lines running around the core, i.e overhead water tanks.

 

Presence of expansion/construction joints can lead to multiple leakages along the entire height of the building leading to façade leakages and podium leakages too.

To add to the problem the wall surfaces within are not plastered . Later these areas are not accessible to identify the flow and pattern of leakages.

 

Toilet duct open/semi-open or enclosed areas each have their own share of benefits and problems  depending on the height of the building.

 

Internal leakage issues do not resolve even after the end of the rainy season due to the lack of natural drying especially in high-rise buildings. Covering such areas may seem like an option but needs to be engineered well.

The pressure of architectural elements like bands, pergolas, cantilevered chajjas at terrace level are subject to high winds and may develop cracks due to stresses.

These are an easy point of access for water which passes into the structure as these members in modern RCC frame structures are anchored to the main column and beams which are part of the building.

 

Solar panels, wind mills and other energy saving devices if not carefully planned at the onset lead to early ageing of the terrace surface leading to leakages.

Coupled with presence of facilities like lawns, roof top swimming pools, green spaces including planters all woven into the limited space called terrace stretching from the first to last wing in the complex .

This further pose problem of maintance and if over-looked can be potential source of leakages on a year -on year basis.

Modern complexes are indeed ‘Complex’ essentially at the top and since this is the first receiving point of water leakage due to exposure to weathering conditions an efficient waterproofing system is essential for the life of the building and comfort its inhabitants.

Its thus important to get the building diagnosed for leakages and also fix the leakages with a good waterproofing contractor near you .

High Rise Facade Restoration and Waterproofing

High rise waterproofing is something you may not have thought about, but it is important for keeping a building in solid condition on the inside and the outside. In a regular home, you may be able to spot leaks relatively quickly because of certain telltale signs that are noticeable. With larger buildings, it may take longer to see the signs of trouble until damage has already been done. Therefore, taking the time to ensure that your building is waterproofed, to begin with, can prevent damage and expensive repairs down the line. Make sure your building’s exteriors are waterproofed with advanced materials that are resistant to extremes of heat and cold, allow breathability and are long-lasting. Professionals who apply these coatings should guarantee their work and make repairs when necessary. High rise waterproofing is essential to keep your building looking its best and functioning well for many years. What Kind of Coatings Does Your Building Need? When you hire a company that focuses on high rise waterproofing, you should expect the best kind of materials for preventing water from reaching the interiors of the building. Coatings should be versatile and work effectively on a variety of surfaces. It is important that the material is UV resistant and allows for the circulation of air without creating leaks. Effective waterproof coatings resist the growth of fungus, mold, and mildew and prevent moisture from seeping in and damaging the walls. Applying coatings to the exteriors of a high rise can be a complicated process, and you should work with a company that has many years’ experience and a track record of success. Effective coatings should be applied effectively in just a few coats and should be aesthetically pleasing as well as designed to last. High rise weatherproofing professionals are knowledgeable about what kinds of coatings best suit your building and how to apply them so they do not need frequent touch-ups.

Why should one go for PU injection grouting waterproofing?

 Pu injection grouting as ideal way to resolve leakage worries without breakage. PU Injection grouting method is popularly used to repair active leaks with it’s given fast drying properties and ability to reach tiny hairline cracks  too.

 In this method we inject resins to the affected areas or crack, which when it comes in contact with water, chemical reaction takes place and fills all the voids and gaps.

This technique insures that you don’t need to get the work done from the above floor.

7 Keys for PU injection grouting process involves:-

       1. Identifying the exact spot of leakage thermal scanning helps in pin-pointing the leakage source.

      2.  We need to estimate the no of injections will be required.

       3. Cover the area for any spillage of chemicals.

       4. Drill the hole and fix the grouting nozzle which need accuracy. Get it done by professional.

      5. Grouts need to be injected in the nozzle to fill all the voids and spaces.

       6. It’s important to keep the exact pressure and good co-ordination is required between the person injecting and   

            person managing the mixing and regulating the machine.

        7. After doing the grouting , it needs cleaning of the area and the machine too.

PU injection can be done in all wet areas to fill in cracks and voids are found in(kitchen, balcony, toilet, bathroom). 

It weakens the structural integrity of your house or building.

Thus, a PU injection grouting is the ideal solution and can be
