Waterproofing

BMC-III
Water-proofing
• Building water-proofing is a process
which is designed to prevent water
from penetrating a building.
• Usually extensive waterproofing
measures are added to a building at
the time of construction, to provide
moisture control from the start
• Waterproofing may also be done after
a building is built, to address problems
as they emerge or as part of a building
retrofit.
• Water proofing is done in various parts
of the building which include
• 1.WC
• 2.Bathrooms
• 3.Terrace
• 4.Roofs and Chajjas
• 5.Basement, swimming pools,
underground ducts.
• 6. Under ground and overhead water
tanks. Water-proofing maintains the
appearance of the building and
increases the life of the structure
Materials used for Water Proofing
• Cement : Ordinary Portland cement is used for all waterproofing works
• Sand : Clean river sand should be used for waterproofing work. If muddy, the sand
should be washed before use.
• Metal : Hard angular metal of sizes varying from 12mm to 20mm is used for
water-proofing works.
• Brick bat: Brick bats should be well burnt pieces of bricks having proper thickness.
Under-burnt or overburnt brick bats should not be used for water-proofing work.
• Water-proofing chemical/powder : A number chemicals and water-proofing
compounds in powder form are available in the market. Some chemicals include -
tar/bitumen based compounds -inorganic compounds with little percentage of
chlorides and sulphates. -acrylic based compounds. -epoxy resins.
Water Proofing Chemicals
• Bitumen - Mixed with a filler component such as limestone or sand.
Polymers are added to the bitumen such as APP (atactic
polypropylene) a plastic additive that gives rigidity and tear
resistance, or SBS (styrene butadiene styrene) a rubber additive that
gives more elastic benefits.
• Base Products - Polyester, fiber glass, rag fiber (hessian), and paper.
These products are bought in roll format and are pulled through the
bitumen mixes on huge rollers. The base product becomes saturated
in huge tanks by the tar like bitumen substance, creating rolls of
waterproof material.
Techniques of Water proofing

Sheet membrane waterproofing Hot rubber waterproofing

Spray waterproofing Surface applied coating Blind side waterproofing

Water proofing Membranes
• Waterproofing membrane systems include
both negative and positive side waterproofing.
• Positive side waterproofing systems are
applied to the face of the element that is
directly exposed to moisture, the exterior face.
• Negative side waterproofing systems are
applied to the surface of the element opposite
the surface exposed to moisture.
• Positive systems are available in numerous
materials and forms. Negative systems are
limited to cementitious systems.
Water Proofing membranes can be
classified into four types
• Cementitious Systems—These systems contain Portland cement with and sand combined with an
active waterproofing agent. These systems include metallic, crystalline, chemical additive and
acrylic modified systems. These systems can be applied as negative or positive side waterproofing
• Sheet-Membrane Systems—Sheet membranes used in below grade applications are similar to the
materials used in roofing applications and include thermoplastics, vulcanized rubbers and
rubberized asphalts. The thickness of these systems varies from 20 to 120 mils.
• Fluid Applied Systems—These systems include urethanes, rubbers, plastics and modified asphalts.
Fluid membranes are applied as a liquid and cure to form one monolithic seamless sheet. Fluid
systems can be applied to vertical and horizontal applications. For foundation wall applications
typical fluid applied
• Bentonite Clays—Natural clay systems, known as bentonite act as waterproofing by swelling
when exposed to moisture thus becoming impervious to water. This swelling can be 10 to 15
percent of the thickness of the base material. Clay panels and sheets are popular for use in blind-
side waterproofing applications such as on retaining earth systems and elevator and sump pits
systems are 60 mils in thickness.
WC Water-proofing
• The pre-work should be completed before starting the
water-proofing : Completion of internal plaster of walls
leaving a margin of 18” from the final floor level of WC
unit.
• Completion of grooving or chasing for concealed G.I. piping
or electric conduit piping in WC.
• Removing of all debries from WC and chiselling the extra
mortar to expose the rare slab completely.
• Completion of making holes in external walls for
connecting nahini trap, p-trap, floor trap, etc. to the
external drainage line.
• Thorough cleaning of WC with sufficient quantity of water.
• Level marking in red color on wall with respect to floor
level to setup trap level.
Bathroom Water-proofing
• After completion of the internal plastering of walls, keep
a margin of 450mm from the final floor level of the
bathroom. Roughening of the plaster should be done with
a wire brush for fixing the glazed tiles cladding dado.
• Complete grooving, chiseling for concealed G.I and
electrical conduit piping in bathroom.
• Remove all debris from the bathroom after chiseling the
extra mortar, if any, to expose the slab completely.
• Make the holes in the external walls for connecting
nahini trap to external drainage line and water leakage
drain pipe.
• Clean the bathroom thoroughly with water. Mark the
level in red on the walls, with respect to the floor level, to
set up the trap level.
Basement/Swimming pool and
underground duct water proofing
• For basements, swimming pools and underground ducts such as lift pits, the waterproofing has to
withstand the water pressure in addition to its basic stress.
PROCEDURE:-
• Carry out the work of PCC bed and provide a cement mix 1:4 base coat with waterproofing
compound and above this fix rough shahabad tiles.
• Maintain the break joint pattern while fixing the tile for base.
• After fixing the tiles, grout the joints with cement slurry completely.
• Apply a jointless layer of cement mortar 1:3 25mm thick and cure it for 7 days.
• For basement, provision of gutter and sump is made in PCC itself and shahabad base is also
prepared in the same fashion. Gutter is given proper slope towards the sump. This is done as a
preventive measure against occasional entry of rain water into basement.
• After curing, provide the final jointless water-proof plaster coat in cement mortar 1:4 over the
rough shahabad tiles.
 Brick Bat Coba For Terrace
• Fix in a slope of 1:150, starting from the lowest point of
rainwater down take and by keeping a minimum thickness
of 65mm below the rainwater outlet.
• Fix brick bats in cement mortar layer of 1:6 proportion in a
slope of 1:150 with the water proofing compound.
• Fill the cement mortar 1:4 with the brick bat joints.
• Fix small pieces of brick bats along with 20mm metal for
coving of watta(rounding) at the bottom of the parapet
wall
• Special care should be taken for achieving the round
shape near the rain water pipe.
• Block the rain water outlet with gunny bags, to avoid
cement slurry from entering it.
• Cure the brick bat coba coat for at least seven days.
Chajja water proofing
• Clean the top of the chajja and chisel extra mortar,
if any.
• Apply a thick cement slurry over the top of the
chajja.
• Apply 1:1.5:3screen coat.
• Make rounding at the junction of chajja and wall of
the building.
• Cure this coat for seven days.
• Apply a finishing coat with C.M 1:4 with water-
proofing compound.
• Cure the water-proofing for atleast 7 days.
Damp proofing
• Dampness is the seepage of water through the members of the
building. There is very little difference between leakage and
dampness. If the water comes out of slab of the bathroom/toilet, it is
termed as leakage and if it is observed on external walls of the
building directly exposed to rains and floors, then this percolation is
termed as dampness.
