WATER PROOFING

BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
SEMESTER - 5
Water proofing
▪ Building water-proofing is a process which is designed to
prevent water from penetrating a building.
▪ Waterproofing may also be done after a building is built, to
address problems as they emerge after.
▪which include-
1. WC
2. Bathrooms Water proofing
3. Terrace is done in
4. Roofs and Chejjas
various parts of
the building
5. Basement, swimming pools
6. Under ground and overhead
water tanks
7 Foundation
 Internal Water-proofing Procedure
1. The concrete floor is broken 12-14
inches from the foundation wall.
2. A trench is dug to expose the inside
of the bottom footing
3. Weeping tiles are then installed
and graded toward the sump pump
4. ¾ inch clean gravel is installed over
the weepers
5. Waterproof membrane is then
installed over the gravel extending
to the top of the foundation wall
6. New concrete is poured over the
system in flush with the existing
slab
Water proofing for WC
1. Coating
* provide 25-40mm thick cement mortar base coat with slope 1:100 from entrance door to
drain pipe.
* carry this coat upto a height of 45 cm above toilet finished floor level.
* keep this base full of water upto slab drop for min 4 days .
2. Brick coat
* lay the brick bat on the edge not on the flat surface .
* any gap between the bat should be filled with mortar.
* give the slope 1:100 in brick bat .
* fill the water for 4 days .
3. Topping coat
* after brick bat coat apply topping coat with 1:4 cement mortar mixed with water proofing
compound
* roughen the surface with wire brush .continue upto 45 cm above wc floor level.
* cure the final coat for 7 days with water upto 7.5 cm depth .
Water proofing for WC
4. Wc pan fixing and finishing
* fix wc pan at required level.
* fill the extra gap around wc pan
over topping coat with brick bat and
mortar upto 7.5 cm below the top of
wc.
* roughen the top coat surface with
wire brush .
* continoue curing should be done
for min 7 days .

Bathroom Water proofing
Base Coat for bath water-proofing
• After stopping any leakages in the base slab, provide
15-25mm thick cement mortar base coat in proportion
1:4 with a slope of 25mm in 3m from entrance door
towards nahini trap.
• This base coat should cover all the walls around upto
the outer face wall line at the entrance door and the
bottom portion of the nahini trap connection hole
made in the wall.
• Flood this base coat with water, upto the slab drop, for
a minimum of 4 days, for curing and testing.
• Fix the nahini trap and drain pipe over this base coat.
• The brick bat coat is done similar to WC waterproofing.
Bathroom Water proofing
Topping coat for Bathroom water-proofing
 After curing the brick bat coats, complete
the topping coat using 1:4 cement mortar mixed
with water-proofing compound, with a proper
slope from the entrance door to the nahini trap.
Finish this coat with cement slurry using a metal
float. Roughen the top coat using a wire
brush to receive tile mortar bonding.
 Ensure that this coat on walls does not
project beyond the bathroom wall plastering
coat.
 Cure this final coat for a minimum of 7
days with standing water (depth 7.5cm)
Terrace Water proofing – Brick Bat Coba
▪ Brick bat coba is a water proofing technique
used mainly for terrace
▪ Temperature variation, intense rain falls and
structural moments develop numerous cracks
due to which water proofing becomes essential
Method
▪ 1. The Terrace is cleaned properly so that no
excessive mortar should be left
▪ 2. Cement slurry is done
▪ 3. On the base coat, a layer of brick bats soaked
overnight in water is laid, having an average
thickness of about 110mm, about 70mm near
rain water pipe and 150 mm near the ridge
▪ 4. The gap between the brick bats are generally
kept between 15mm to 20mm these gap are
then filled with cement sand mortar on tha ratio
1:4 admixed with water proofer
Terrace Water proofing – Brick Bad Coba
▪ 5. After laying the brick bats curing is done for about 3 to 4 days
▪ 6. Finishing layerThe top layer is then finished smooth with 20mm thick cement sand
mortar
▪ 7 curing is done by ponding
Sloping Roof Waterproofing
Over Head Tank Water proofing
1. Chisel the extra concrete particularly in corners around
the chamber.
2. Clean the entire tank.
3. Allow cement slurry to penetrate all holes and cracks
4. Cheak inlet, outlet and washout pipe for their rigidity ,
if not rigid then grout them.
5. Apply waterproofing plaster in CM 1:4 by adding
waterproofing compound.Apply 15-20 mm thick over this
plaster.
6. Bottom of top slab does not require waterproofing.
7. Top of overhead tank is to be finished with brick bat.
8. Allow waterproofing to set for 12 hours.
9.cure this waterproofing for minimum 15 days
Cementitious Waterproofing
Liquid Waterproofing Membrane
Bituminous Membrane Methods of
Bituminous Coating
water proofing
Polyurethane Liquid Membrane
Cementitious Waterproofing Method
▪ Cementitious waterproofing is the easiest method of waterproofing
in construction.
▪ The materials for cementitious waterproofing is easily available
from suppliers of masonry products, and they’re easy to mix and
apply.
▪ This method is often used in the internal wet areas such as toilets.
▪ This method is usually a rigid or semi-flexible type waterproofing,
but since it is used in internal areas such as toilets, it is not exposed
to sunlight and weathering. Thus cementitious waterproofing does
not go through contract and expansion process.
Cementitious Waterproofing Method

▪ Applications of Cementitious Waterproofing:

▪ Cementitious waterproofing is used in the following type of structures:
Water Treatment Plants, Sewage Treatment Plants, Bridges, Dams, Railway & Subway
Systems, Marine Cargo Ports & DocksRiver, Tunnels
Bituminous Water proofing membrane
1 . The bituminous waterproofing membrane are unfolded on the site and laid firmly on
surface with tar based adhesive using blow torches .
2. Used for rcc roof .
3. 2-4 mm thick water proof material .
Bituminous Water proofing membrane
Procedure
1. Roof surface prepartion
* the surface should be clean and dry.
* must not installed below 7.2 ‘C.
* slope upto 3 inch ,membrane should be laid perpendicular to slope .
*more than 3 inch slope, should be laid parallel to slope.
2. Roll alignment - no wrinkles should be allowed while laying.
3 . Membrane installation - the torch fire should be applied uniformly and slow over the roll while
laying .
4. Compound flow out - approx 1inch chemical from membrane should flow out to ensure proper
filling of gaps .More than 1 inch flow out signals of overheating.
5. Check joints - ensure perfect joint between two sheets
6. End laps in membrane sheet - the sheet are overlappes 3 inch at the side. stagerred end laps must
be 18 inches apart so that no adjacent end laps coincide.
LIQUID WATERPROOFING MEMBRANE
METHOD
▪Liquid membrane is a thin coating which consists of
usually a primer coat and two coats of top coats
which are applied by spray, roller, or trowel.
▪It offers more flexibility than the cementitious types
of waterproofing.
▪The liquid cures into a rubbery coating on the wall.
▪The elongation properties of the coating can reach as
high as 280%.
▪The durability of the waterproofing coating depends
on what type of polymer the manufacturer use for
the making of the liquid waterproofing.
▪Liquid waterproofing membrane can be of spray-
applied liquid membrane composed of polymer-
modified asphalt.
▪Polyurethane liquid membranes in separate grades
for trowel, roller, or spray are also available from
various manufacturers.
