Waterproofing Guide

Internal walls may not face direct rain, but they often suffer from hidden moisture, leakages, and rising dampness. Left untreated, this can cause ugly stains, peeling paint, bad odors, and even weaken the structure. Here's a simple guide to keep your interiors safe and beautiful:
1. Identify Moisture Sources
Look for signs like damp patches, bubbles in paint, efflorescence (white powdery deposits), or a musty smell. Also, check if moisture is coming from leaking pipes, bathrooms, kitchens, or rising from the floor.
2. Surface Preparation
Remove damaged paint, plaster, and clean the surface thoroughly. A dry and dust-free wall ensures the waterproofing system bonds effectively.
3. Treat Cracks and Joints
Seal all visible cracks with a high-quality crack filler. Pay special attention to corners, window frames, and wall joints, which are common leakage points.
4. Choose the Right Waterproofing System
For internal walls, use breathable and water-resistant systems such as:
• Cementitious waterproof coatings
• Interior-grade moisture barrier primers
• Waterproof putties and sealants
These prevent moisture migration without trapping it inside the wall.
5. Application
Apply the waterproofing layer evenly over affected walls, followed by a high-quality putty or skim coat for a smooth finish. Finally, use moisture-resistant paints for longer protection.
6. Fix the Root Cause
If the dampness is due to plumbing leaks or external seepage, address these issues first to ensure your internal waterproofing is effective.
7. Routine Checks
Inspect walls, especially after monsoon or plumbing work. Early maintenance saves costly repairs later.
