Residential Waterproofing Services in Chennai
Advanced waterproofing solutions for apartments and independent homes to prevent terrace leaks.
Overview
Water leakage is the biggest enemy of any building structure. Our residential waterproofing services in Chennai deal with the root cause of leakages rather than just applying a surface patch. Whether it is a terrace that leaks during monsoons or a bathroom ceiling showing damp patches, we have the right chemical and polymer solutions.
Common Waterproofing Issues in Chennai
Due to the humid climate and intense seasonal rains, buildings in Chennai often suffer from:
- Terrace Hairlines Cracks: Caused by thermal expansion and contraction.
- Bathroom Sunken Slab Leakage: Poor grouting or damaged PVC pipes leading to seepage in the floor below.
- External Wall Dampness: Rainwater lashing against walls causing paint peeling and fungal growth.
We use Dr. Fixit, Fosroc, and Asian Paints SmartCare products to ensure a durable seal.
Our Process
Surface Preparation
Cleaning the roof/wall surface with wire brushes and high-pressure washers to remove algae and loose debris.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the warranty on waterproofing?
We provide a 5 to 7-year warranty depending on the product grade used (e.g., acrylic polymer vs. PU membrane).
Is it necessary to break the tiles for terrace waterproofing?
Not always. We offer coating solutions that can be applied over existing cooling tiles if they are in stable condition.
How much does terrace waterproofing cost?
It generally ranges from ₹35 to ₹65 per sq.ft based on the number of coats and chemical brand (Dr. Fixit / Asian Paints).
How do you detect hidden pipe leaks?
We use visual inspection and pressure testing to identify pressure drops in concealed pipelines without unnecessary breakage.
Is this solution suitable for very old buildings?
Yes, we have specialized flexible membrane treatments that can accommodate the structural movements typical in older buildings.
Why is the paint peeling off my walls?
Paint peeling is often a sign of internal dampness or water seepage from an external source. We identify the source using moisture meters before suggesting a treatment.
Do you do nano-coating waterproofing?
Yes, we offer advanced nano-coating solutions that penetrate deep into the concrete to create a hydrophobic barrier without altering the surface appearance.
How long does the waterproofing process take?
A standard terrace waterproofing job takes about 3-5 days, adhering to the proper drying time between the primer and the two coats of sealant.
Can you waterproof overhead water tanks?
Yes, we use food-grade, safe-for-drinking-water epoxy coatings for internal tank waterproofing to prevent leaks and algae formation.
How do you treat rising dampness in walls?
We treat rising dampness by injecting chemical damp-proof courses (DPC) into the wall base to stop ground moisture from rising up via capillary action.
