Waterproofing Guide

Bathrooms and kitchens are wet areas that deal with constant exposure to water. Without proper waterproofing, even small leaks can cause damp walls, fungal growth, and expensive repairs. Here’s a simple guide to waterproofing these spaces the right way:
1. Surface Preparation
Before waterproofing, ensure all surfaces — floors and walls — are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose particles. Proper preparation is key for long-lasting waterproofing.
2. Focus on Critical Areas
Pay extra attention to:
• Floor and wall junctions
• Around drainage pipes
• Under sinks and countertops
• Shower areas and bathtubs These are the most vulnerable zones where leakage often starts.
3. Select the Right Waterproofing Products
For bathrooms and kitchens, it’s crucial to use flexible and water-resistant systems. Common choices include:
• Flexible cementitious waterproof coatings
• PU-based waterproofing membranes
• Waterproof tile adhesives and grouts to prevent water seepage through tiles
4. Application
Apply at least two coats of the waterproofing layer, especially in wet zones. Extend waterproofing at least 6 inches above floor level on walls for bathrooms and behind sinks for kitchens.
5. Proper Sloping
Ensure the floor slope directs water towards the drain to avoid water stagnation and seepage issues.
6. Protection Layer
Once waterproofing is done, protect it by applying screed, tiles, or a protective mortar layer without damaging the membrane.
7. Testing Before Use
After waterproofing, conduct a "pond test" — fill the floor with water and observe for leaks for 24–48 hours before proceeding with final flooring.

✅ Pro Tip:
Use trusted products like ADT Bathroom & Kitchen Waterproofing Solutions for complete peace of mind — because water belongs in taps, not your walls!
