EXTERNAL WALL WATERPROOFING:

1. What is external wall waterproofing?

External wall waterproofing is the process of applying protective coatings, membranes, or sealants to prevent water penetration, seepage, and dampness on exterior walls. It helps protect buildings from damage caused by rain, humidity, and environmental conditions.

2. Why is external wall waterproofing important?

Without proper waterproofing, external walls can absorb moisture, leading to:

  1. Peeling paint and damp patches
  2. Growth of mold, mildew, and algae
  3. Cracks and structural damage
  4. Reduced lifespan of the building

Waterproofing ensures long-term durability, maintains aesthetic appeal, and reduces maintenance costs.

3. What types of external wall waterproofing solutions does ADT Industries Pvt. Ltd. offer?

We provide a range of waterproofing solutions, including:

  1. Acrylic Polymer-Based Waterproofing (e.g., Dr. Fixit Raincoat – a high-performance elastomeric coating that forms a thick, flexible waterproof film on walls.)
  2. Silicone-Based Water Repellents (e.g., Dr. Fixit Repellin WR – a transparent coating that prevents water absorption while allowing walls to breathe.)
  3. Elastomeric Waterproof Coatings (e.g., Sikalastic 560 – a UV-resistant, crack-bridging waterproof coating ideal for external walls exposed to extreme weather.)
  4. Cementitious Waterproofing (e.g., Fosroc Brushcrete – a flexible, cement-based waterproof coating that bonds well with plastered surfaces.)

4. How can I tell if my external walls need waterproofing?

Common signs that your walls need waterproofing include:

  1. Damp patches or water stains on exterior or interior walls
  2. Peeling or blistering paint
  3. Cracks on the wall surface
  4. Growth of algae or fungus, especially in humid areas

5. Can waterproofing be applied to already painted walls?

Yes, but it is recommended to remove old, damaged paint and properly prepare the surface before applying waterproofing coatings for better adhesion and effectiveness.

6. How long does external wall waterproofing last?

The longevity depends on the product used and environmental exposure.

  1. Dr. Fixit Raincoat can last up to 8-10 years with proper application.
  2. Sikalastic 560 provides long-term protection of up to 10 years against rain and UV rays.
  3. Dr. Fixit Repellin WR offers 5-7 years of water repellency before requiring reapplication.

7. Does waterproofing affect the appearance of my walls?

No, waterproofing coatings like Dr. Fixit Raincoat and Sikalastic 560 come in various shades and enhance the aesthetic appeal of walls. Transparent coatings like Dr. Fixit Repellin WR maintain the natural look of surfaces while protecting them from water damage.

8. Is waterproofing safe for the environment?

Yes, most of our waterproofing products, including Dr. Fixit Raincoat and Sikalastic 560, are eco-friendly, non-toxic, and safe for both indoor and outdoor applications.

9. How long does the waterproofing process take?

The time required depends on the size of the area and drying conditions. On average:

  1. Acrylic and elastomeric coatings take 2-3 days for complete application and drying.
  2. Silicone-based repellents dry in 4-6 hours but require 24 hours for full effectiveness.

10. What is the cost of external wall waterproofing?

The cost depends on factors like wall size, type of waterproofing system, and labor. Contact us for a free site inspection and customized quote.

11. Can waterproofing prevent cracks from developing on walls?

Yes, elastomeric coatings like Dr. Fixit Raincoat and Sikalastic 560 are flexible and can bridge small cracks, preventing further damage due to expansion and contraction.

12. How can I maintain my waterproofed walls?

  1. Regularly clean the surface to prevent dirt and fungal growth.
  2. Inspect walls annually for cracks or damage.
  3. Reapply a protective topcoat every few years for extended durability

13. Does ADT Industries Pvt. Ltd. provide a warranty on external wall waterproofing?

Yes, we offer warranties based on the product and application. For example:

  1. Dr. Fixit Raincoat comes with a 5-8 year warranty.
  2. Sikalastic 560 provides long-term waterproofing protection with proper maintenance.
