 INTRODUCTION
Damp proofing
The course which prevents entry of damp into
building.
• Prevents entry of moisture from walls,
floors and basement
• only controls water vapour from the soil
moisture and will not stop the inflow of
liquid water.
• applied at the lower parts of the walls to
restrict the movement of moisture rising
up and through the walls.
WATER PROOFING
formation of an impervious barrier over surfaces of
foundations, roofs, walls, and other structural
members.
• The function of the impermeable barrier is to
prevent water penetrations.
• Prevents the passage of liquid water in presence
of hydraulic pressure
• Applied at Bathroom, kitchen, balcony, basement,
roofs.

 DAMP PROOFING
Methods 1 : Membrane damp proofing
Consists in providing layer or membrane of water repellant
material between the source of dampness and part of the
structure adjacent to it. This type of layer is
usually called Damp proof cement course.
 DAMP PROOFING
Methods 2 : Surface treatment
• Consists in filling up the pores of the surfaces subjected to dampness.
• The use of water repellant soaps such as calcium and aluminium
oleatesand stearates is much effective in protective the building
against ravages of heavy rain.
• The walls plastered with the cement , lime and sand mixed in
proportions of 1:1:6 is found to serve the purpose of preventing
dampness in wall due to rain effectively.
Methods 3 : Pressure grouting
• Grout mixture differs from conventional mortar in terms of
fluidity as it is filled in cracks not to be spread like mortar. In
case of wide cracks, grout ids poured at high pressure.
• This method is widely use in foundations to repair, harden
and set concrete
 DAMP PROOFING
Methods 4 : Guiniting

•Consists in depositing an impervious layer of rich cement mortar over the surface to be waterproofed.
•Cement and sand (or fine aggregate) usually taken in proportion of 1:3 to 1:4 are then fed into the machine.
 DAMP PROOFING
Methods 5: Integral damp proofing Methods 6 : Cavity wall construction

Clay, sand or lime help to fill voids in concrete and make

it waterproof.

Alkaline Silicates, Aluminum sulphates, calcium

chlorides etc. react chemically with concrete to produce
waterproof concrete.

Pudlo, Permo, Impermo etc. are some of the many

commercially made preparation of waterproofing
compounds used.
Consists in adding certain waterproofing compounds
with the concrete mix to increase its impermeability.
•Consists in shielding the main wall of the building by an outer
skin wall leaving a cavity in between the two.
•The cavity prevents the moisture from travelling from the
outer to the inner wall

membrane

•Materials are effectively available
•Easy to mix and apply
•Application: on internal wet areas, for example toilet.
•This method doesn’t go through the contract and expansion process.
•It is chemical resistant as well.
•It improves concrete appearance
•It generally comprises of a primer coat and two topcoats.
•Applied by the help of spray, roller, or trowel.
•Cost effective.
•Easy and safe application.
•Excellent adhesion to all kind of surfaces.
•Ideal for exposed roof.
 WATER PROOFING
Method 4 : Bitumen coating
•It is a flexible protective coat based on its formulation and
polymerization grade.
•Applications: areas that are beneath screed wet.
•It is an excellent protective coating and waterproofing agent,
especially on surfaces such as concrete foundations.
Method 3 : Polyurethane Liquid membrane
•Utilized for the level rooftop region and presented to enduring.
•This waterproofing strategy is costly.
•Offer higher adaptability.
•Less utilized at the site.
•Polyurethane is very sensitive to moisture content.
