Waterproof coating service in Amritsar, Punjab

Buildings in Amritsar's older areas are packed closely together, often sharing walls with the neighbours. When water gets into one building, it can travel into the next. Hotels and guest houses around the old city have many bathrooms and large water tanks working hard every day. Basement shops in busy markets take in water during the monsoon. Each of these needs a waterproofing approach that suits tight spaces, old construction and heavy use.

Old buildings and shared walls

In closely built areas, the source of damp isn't always obvious. A damp patch on your wall might come from:

• a neighbour's bathroom or tank on the other side of a shared wall
• rain running down between two buildings with no proper flashing
• your own leaking pipes hidden in the wall
• rising damp in old walls without a damp-proof course

We investigate with moisture readings and by looking at when the damp appears. Where the source is on a neighbour's side, we explain what needs to be done there. A coating on your side alone won't stop water that keeps coming from next door.

Where a gap between buildings lets rain in, we can seal the top of the gap and coat the exposed wall faces with an elastomeric waterproof coating.

Hotels and guest houses

With a steady flow of visitors, hotels in Amritsar can't afford rooms out of service. Bathroom leaks into rooms below are handled one bathroom at a time: tiles removed, traps and pipes sealed, membrane applied, ponding test, retiling. Large overhead and underground tanks are drained, repaired at joints and cracks, and coated with potable-water certified products.

Basement shops

Markets in Amritsar have many basement shops and godowns. During heavy rain, water seeps through basement walls and floors, damaging stock. From inside, we use:

• injection to seal active leaks through cracks and joints
• crystalline waterproofing, which penetrates concrete and blocks the pores
• cementitious waterproof coatings on walls and floors

These work better than ordinary paints, which get pushed off by water pressure.

Surface preparation

Waterproofing fails without good preparation. We remove loose plaster, salts and old paint, repair cracks, round off sharp corners where coatings would thin out, and seal pipes and fittings before coating.

FAQs

The damp on our wall comes from the neighbour's building. What can we do?

A coating on your side can reduce damage, but the water source has to be fixed on their side. We can explain what's needed so both parties can agree.

Can a basement shop be waterproofed without emptying it completely?

Areas being treated need to be cleared, but we can work section by section.

How long does tank waterproofing take?

Most tanks are drained, repaired, coated, cured and refilled within several days.
