Wall Waterproofing

External wall waterproofing is the most underestimated category in Indian construction. In Mumbai, coastal Chennai and anywhere taking driven monsoon rain, more water enters through the walls than through the roof — and no amount of terrace waterproofing will do anything about it.

Leakproofs by Betterwork specifies and applies materials from this range across residential, commercial and industrial projects. Which one is right for your building depends on what the deep-scan inspection finds — the defect, the substrate and how much the structure moves — not on which product is best known.

What this range covers

Product types and systems within Dr. Fixit wall waterproofing:

• Exterior waterproof coatings and paints
• Elastomeric crack-bridging wall coatings
• Water-repellent exterior treatments
• Interior damp-proof coatings
• Anti-fungal damp coatings

Where it is used

External elevations, particularly windward faces; parapets; shared and party walls; and internal walls suffering damp from the far side where external access is not available.

How we choose between them

For an exterior wall the decision is between a film-forming elastomeric coating, which bridges cracks, and a penetrating water repellent, which lets the wall breathe. A wall that is already holding moisture must be able to dry outward — sealing it under an impervious film traps the water and blows the paint off from behind. Interior damp coatings are a mitigation, not a cure; the source still has to be found.

Every recommendation we make is written down before work is agreed, alongside the reason for it, so you can compare quotations on the same technical basis rather than on price alone.
