 INTRODUCTION
 WATERPROOFING IS THE PROCESS OF MAKING AN OBJECT OR STRUCTURE
WATERPROOF Or Water-resistant.
 So That It Remains Relatively Unaffected By Water Or 0pp0se
The Entrance Of Water Under Specified Conditions.
 Such Items May Be Used In Wet Environments Or Underwater To
Specified Depths.
 Sometimes It Is Used To Increase The Comfort Of Buildings By
Using On Surfaces Such As Balconies Or Warehouses Which Are
Thought To Be In Contact With Water.
 In Other Words, Waterproofing Is A Protective Measure That
Makes A Surface Water Resistant Or Prevents Unwanted
Penetration Of Liquids. It Is A Technique Used In Construction And
Design Industries To Reduce The Effect Of Liquid Penetration On
Systems.
 IMPORTANCE
◦ Moisture and Humidity knows very well to find its way and seep into the interiors of your place
thereby causing significant damage. It is very important to waterproof your home or building
from all possible damage.
◦ No waterproofing can lead to the development of cracks, paint peel off and even molds, mildew
and air contaminants. It is also a great risk for the structure and foundation of the building. Not
only for the building, it can also create health problems for the inhabitants. They also develop
a musty smell which gradually increases making it difficult for the inhabitants.
 WHICH AREAS OF THE INTERIOR

 INELASTIC AND THUS BOUND TO GET CRACKS IN THEM.

 USE OF SUCH CONVENTIONAL METHODS MEANS REGULAR SEEPAGE AND
LEAKAGE AND REGULAR EXPENDITURE ON REPAIRS.
 USUAL METHOD OF WATERPROOFING ON
EXTERIOR WALLS IS THE USE OF
EXTERIOR PAINTS.
 PAINTS- 30-50 MICROM THICK.
 NOT THICK ENOUGH TO RESIST WIND

TYPES OF W AT ERPROOFING
MATERIALS
Cementitious Waterproofing

Liquid waterproofing membrane

bituminous membrane

bituminous coating

POLYURETHANE LIQUID
 CEMENTITIOUS WATERPROOFING
◦ The cementitious waterproof coating can be
described as two-component breathable, seamless
coatings used to provide positive and negative side
waterproofing protection on concrete and masonry
surfaces. They prevent damage from water
infiltration and resist mold and mildew.
◦ Cemented waterproofing is the simplest method of
waterproofing, materials required are freely
available, easy to mix and apply.
◦ It is usually rigid or semi-flexible waterproofings
hence used at interior places such as toilets &
areas not exposed to sunlight and weathering.
 LIQUID W AT ERPROOFING MEMBRANE
◦ More flexible than cementitious waterproofing,
liquid membrane waterproofing is a thin coating of primer and two top
coats used by a spray, roller, or trowel.The liquid cures into a
rubbery coating on surfaces and can provide high elongation.
The durability of the coating depends on what type of polymer is used.
◦ A liquid waterproofing membrane is essential for protecting many
building structures. These flexible membranes are hand or spray
applied onto surfaces such as balconies, podium decks and green roofs.
They are even used to line municipal water tanks to prevent leaks. This
type of protection is also used to help extend the service life of
structures such as car parks
◦ The liquid is cured in a rubber coating on the wall and surface
elongation properties can reach 280%, the durability of a
waterproofing coating depends on the type of manufacturer.
◦ It can be sprayed with the liquid layer made from the polymer-modified
asphalt which is available in different grades for trowels, rollers or
sprays from various manufacturers.
 BITUMINOUS MEMBRANE
◦ Bituminous waterproofing systems are designed to protect residential and
commercial buildings. Bitumen (asphalt or coal-tar pitch) is a mixed
substance made up of organic liquids that are highly sticky, viscous, and
waterproof. These systems are sometimes used to construct roofs, in the form
of roofing felt or roll roofing products.
◦ Bituminous membranes are perfect for waterproofing roofs, basements,
below-ground structures, bridges and other structures.
◦ Bituminous waterproofing is a popular technique used for the low sloping
roofs due to their low efficiency, it consists of a flashlight and a self-
adhesive membrane on the layer.
◦ Self-adhesive compounds include asphalt, polymers, and filler, while some
resins and oils are added to improve the adhesion characteristics.
◦ The self-adhesive has a shorter shelf life because of the bonding properties
of membrane life over time, while the flashlight on the membrane is exposed
and covered.
◦ Exposed membranes contain granular mineral aggregates to withstand the
weathering and other parts requires the contractor to apply protective
screws to prevent perforation of the membrane.
 BITUMINOUS COATING
◦ A bituminous coating is a type of coating used to build a vapor-proof
and flexible protective coat in accordance with its formulation
and polymerization grade. A bituminous coating's flexibility and
protection against vapor and water can be influenced by the
polymer grade as well as reinforcement of fiber.
◦ Bituminous coating is also known as asphalt coating.
◦ The most common use of bituminous coatings are under wet bolts,
particularly on surfaces such as concrete foundations.
◦ These waterproofings is made up of bitumen fabricated material as
it becomes very brittle when exposed to sunlight with flexible
materials such as polyurethane or acrylic-based polymers.
◦ The flexibility depends on the dependable content of the polymer
added to the bitumen.
 POLYURETHANE LIQUID
◦ This polyurethane liquid membrane is
used for flat roofs, which is exposed
to weathering and has high ductility.
◦ Polyurethane is very sensitive to a
moisture content that should be used
in evaluating moisture before
application, otherwise, membrane
peeling or de-bonding may occur
after some time.
 Advantages of Waterproofing
• Water absorption can be decreased.
• Prevents the formation of cracks on the concrete floor.
• The appliance is easy.
• It will increase the lifetime of a solid construction.
• It prevents corrosion of reinforcement.
• Also, prevents dampness inside the building.
• It prevents seepages from the ceiling and walls.
• This reduces the maintenance coast of the building.
• The property value can be increased.
• It supplies a healthy environment, good waterproofing system helps in making a clear living
workspace.
• It protects the property as well as the people present therein.
 Disadvantages of Waterproofing
• Bitumen-based products soften in the summer heat because the black color has restricted life due to solvent
evaporation.
• The polyurethane protective coating shouldn’t be very versatile.
• Polyurethane protective coating delays the natural breathing capability of concrete.
• The polyurethane protective coating has a restricted pot life, the impermeable floor coating permits water to form
below the floor coating.
• Cementation waterproofing is the inability to maintain the cracks, which causes further leakage.
