Waterproofing dealer in Rishikesh

Rishikesh has a special mix of buildings: ashrams, yoga retreats, riverside hotels, guest houses and homes, many built close to the Ganga or on the slopes above it. Waterproofing problems here tend to come from three directions at once. Heavy monsoon rain hits terraces, groundwater near the river pushes into basements, and busy guest bathrooms leak into rooms below. As a waterproofing dealer and applicator from nearby Roorkee, we supply the right materials for each of these and can carry out the work.

Riverside buildings and groundwater

Buildings near the Ganga, and those on low ground in Tapovan and Laxman Jhula areas, often have basements or ground floors where water rises through the floor and walls, particularly during and after the monsoon. For these:

• crystalline waterproofing works inside the concrete and resists water pressure from outside
• polyurethane injection seals cracks that are actively leaking
• cementitious waterproof coatings add protection on walls and floors
• drainage around the building should be checked, since water collecting against walls makes every other measure harder

Surface paints alone rarely work in these conditions.

Terraces and rooftop spaces

Many retreats and hotels use terraces for yoga sessions, cafes and viewing decks. These roofs face heavy rain, strong sun and foot traffic. A liquid PU membrane with a UV-stable topcoat, detailed properly at parapets, outlets and fixings, is the most reliable option. Where terraces are used heavily, tiles or a wearing layer over the membrane protect it. See our terrace waterproofing page for more.

Guest bathrooms

Hotels, guest houses and ashrams with many bathrooms often deal with leaks into rooms below. Tiles and grout aren't waterproof on their own. The lasting fix is a flexible membrane under the tiles, with sealed floor traps and pipe penetrations, tested by ponding before retiling. We can supply materials to your contractor or do the work room by room.

Water tanks

Overhead and underground tanks supplying guests and residents need potable-water certified coatings. We supply suitable products and can repair and coat tanks.

Planning around seasons

Rishikesh is busy with visitors for much of the year, and the monsoon brings heavy rain. We suggest:

1. inspecting and locating leaks during or just after the monsoon
2. doing terrace and external work in the drier months, October to March
3. handling bathrooms room by room during quieter periods
4. treating basements when groundwater is lower, before the monsoon if possible

Supply only or supply and apply
