Waterproofing is the process of making any structure or object water tight that the object does not allow water absorption. It is a very basic thing and important factor when it comes to any type of construction. There are several advantages of doing waterproofing at our home, college, office or anywhere we go because it increases the life of used concrete, iron, paint and many more stuff related to construction. or

It is a way to protect material from water absorption . The types of materials are soil moisture, vapour moisture & liquid water that is under hydro-static pressure. In terms of construction waterproofing can be a method of preventing water from penetrating a house hold setting.

But in India most of the construction contractors doesn’t follow this important factor because contractors want to build structures in less prices so they can make more profit. But this is bad after all its about your building’s life don’t take it too lightly, hope you all don’t want to see that unattractive wall. Hope you all do not want that.

There are several ways to do it. Some of them are mentioned below with products:

The materials for cementitious waterproofing are easily available at us from masonry products, and they’re easy to mix and apply.
* Liquid Waterproofing Membrane Method: This Liquid membrane is a thin coating which consists of usually a primer coat and two coats of top coats which are applied by spray, roller, or trowel. It offers more flexibility than the cementitious types of waterproofing. The liquid cures into a rubbery coating on the wall. The elongation properties of the coating can reach as high as 280%. The durability of the coating depends on what type of polymer the manufacturer uses for the making of the liquid waterproofing. Polyurethane liquid membranes in separate grades for trowel, roller, or spray are also available. [https://scopeenterprises.co.in/product/bitcote/ BITCOTE] is the best product for this application.
