WATER PROOFING
Waterproofing describes making an object waterproof or water-resistant.
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
Internal areas that are waterproofed include : bathrooms, shower recesses, laundries toilets.
Garage floor coating with polyurathane
Coating with asphalt
External area waterproofed extends to:
roofs, planter boxes, podiums,balconies, retaining walls swimming pools.
Basic waterproofing and envelope design incorporates 3 steps to ensure a watertight and environmentally sound interior :
1. Understanding water sources likely to be encountered
2. Designing systems to prevent leakage from these sources.
3. Finalizing the design by properly detailing each individual envelope component into adjacent components.

WHY WE NEED TO WATERPROOF THE BUILDING
STURCTURE
LEAKAGEthe accidental admission or escape of
water of vapuor through a hole or crack.
Water in any of its forms must be present.
Water must be moved along by some type of force, including wind, gravity for above-structure and hydrostatic pressure or capillary action for below-structure.
Finally and the most important, there must be a breach (hole, brake, or some type of opening) in the envelope to facilitate the entry of water into the protected spaces
Available water is moved into the interior of a structure by numerous forces that include:
Natural gravity Surface tension Wind/Air currents Capillary action Hydrostatic pressure
CAUSES OF LEAKAGE

PVC (PolyVinyl Chloride)• PVC waterproofing membrane is a modern
roofing material, which is made of high quality flexible (plasticized) polyvinylchloride.
• Manufacturers of PVC membranes offer diverse width and length of the material.
• The width of the material ranges from 3 to 7 ft.
• The rolls can be between 60 and 75 ft in length. The thickness of the PVC membrane is 48mil, 60mil, 72mil & 80mil.
Features of PVC membrane• PVC membrane is used mainly for waterproofing of buildings and roofs.
• Since this material is quite easy to install, strong enough (is of great tensile strength), has long service life,
• Due to its structure, the PVC membrane is very strong and simultaneously flexible material which is resistant to precipitation, ultra-violet radiation, capable to withstand heavy surface and tensile loads
• PVC waterproofing membrane can serve for almost fifty years without losing its reliability and positive characteristics.

PRECAUTIONS
SOME PRACTICAL APPLICATION
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.
Bathroom Water-proofingPreparation of Bathroom water-
proofing
For basements, swimming pools and underground ducts such as lift pits, the water-proofing has to withstand the water pressure in addition to its basic stress.
Basement/Swimming pool and underground duct water proofing
• Carry out the work of PCC bed and provide a cement mix 1:4 base coat with water-proofing 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.
Work procedure
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.
Brick Bat Coba For Terrace
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.
Details of glazed china mosaic water-proofing
Spread cement mortar in 1:4 along with water-proofing compound over the brick bat coba.
Press the cement mortar with a ruler of length of 2m. Level the surface with a wooden float, keeping 25mm thickness. Apply thick cement slurry over the levelled surface, along with the
water-proofing compound for a smooth finish. Polish the surface with metal float Make vertical and horizontal lines at an intervel of 300mmX300mm,
using a cotton line dori of minimum 3mm thick; so as to avoid cracking of the top layer.
Clean and cure the final coat for 21days with atleast 150mm water standing on the water proofing.
Final coat for terrace water-proofing
Clean the top of the chhajja and chisel extra mortar, if any.
Apply a thick cement slurry over the top of the chhajja.
Apply 1:1.5:3screen coat.
Make rounding at the junction of chhajja 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.
Chajja water proofing
Clean the surface of the sloping terrace. Apply a thick cement slurry over the surface of the slab. Apply 1:1.5:3 screen coat. Cure this coat for 7 days by putting wet gunny bags on it. Over this coat, apply a finishing coat with cement sand mortar
1:4 and water-proofing compound as per design. Make an edge between the parapet and the sloping roof on the
second day. Cure this water-proofing for 15 days with gunny bags spread
over it. Constant watering is required on a sloping slab.
Sloping Terrace Water Proofing
WATER PROOFING SLOPING TERRACE WATER PROOFING
Damp proof course in plinth•Foundation masonry is always in contact with the sub soil,which sometimes may contain water.•The subsoil water tries to enter the building through the walls/floore.•Due to capillary action, the subsoil water sometimes rises into the walls of the building against gravity and indicates dampness.•Generally , foundation masonry is done with UCR masonry and at the plinth level,DPC is provided to prevent capillary water of the sub soil water.•The rich cement concrete, generally of M20 grade with water proofing compound added to it can be used as DPC in buildings.•Tar isalso applied below DPC to prevent the entry through capillary action.•Above the DPC, regular masonry for super structure is done.
Causes and Precautions for wall dampness
•If the foundation masonry is directly exposed to subsoil, water may enter the building through the walls.•For this it is ensured that pointing or plastering the exposed walls is done to restrict the direct contact of sub soil water with masonry.•No hollow spaces should remain in the masonry as these are the routes for water to enter.•For the junctions of RCC and masonry, chicken mesh should be used for plastering.•Dampness is also observed on the ceiling in the form of patches. This is due to stagnant water on the terrace or some organic matter dumped on the terrace.•During execution of the terrace, a proper slope should be given so that water doesnt accumulate in any place.•The terrace must be kept clean during rainy seasons to prevent continuous dampness.•The terrace slab must be cast carefully so that it attains density and impermeability.
