Building Leakage Repair in Hinjewadi

Building leakage repair in Hinjewadi

Hinjewadi divides into two very different kinds of building, and they leak for different reasons. There is the Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park across its phases — office towers, campuses and commercial blocks — and there are the large residential townships built alongside it to house the workforce, mostly high-rise and mostly recent.

Commercial and IT campus buildings

• Podium decks and landscaped terraces over occupied space and basement parking, where access to a failed membrane means lifting paving or planting.
• Basement parking below the water table, leaking at construction joints, the wall-to-raft kicker and unsealed service entries — under permanent pressure rather than seasonal.
• Curtain wall and glazing junctions. The interface between the glazing system and the concrete structure belongs to a different trade from the waterproofing, which is exactly why it is the junction most often left undetailed.
• Stacked toilet cores and AHU rooms, where one failed wet-area floor shows as staining several floors down and gets reported as a roof leak.
• Fit-out churn. Every tenant change puts anchors through a screed or cores a wall for services. Membranes are breached during fit-out and not reinstated.

Township and high-rise residential

• Newer buildings failing early — where they do, it is normally a detailing failure at parapet junctions, outlets or balcony thresholds rather than the membrane itself wearing out.
• Balcony leakage in high-rise flats, at the door threshold and at railing post penetrations through the cantilever slab.
• Exposure at height. Upper floors take driven rain far harder than the same detail lower down the same tower.

How the work runs here

Commercial work is planned around occupancy first — night and weekend working, floor by floor, with the area handed back clean and trafficable each morning, and coordination with facilities so a reinstated membrane is not breached by a fit-out contractor the following week. Diagnosis comes before any quotation: thermal imaging to map the wet zone, moisture readings to confirm, and isolation testing to separate plumbing from envelope.
