STATE-OF-THE-ART WATERPROOFING SYSTEMS

Waterproofing is a process that is designed to prevent water from penetrating a structure. Typically

waterproofing is done in various layers and stages to create multiple barriers so that water cannot penetrate

the structure. A combination of such stages is referred to as creating a “Building Envelope”.

However, often not enough importance is given to this very crucial area while constructing new structures.

Over reliance on conventional and outdated systems, low awareness about modern waterproofing systems

and lack of trained expertise for application are some of the reasons for the same. Here’s where Dr. Fixit

can help you to get the best waterproofing solutions for your new constructions. Dr. Fixit is India’s leading

brand in Waterproofing with a wide variety of products and solutions to meet all your waterproofing needs

- from foundations to walls to roofs. With access to the latest global technologies through its international

subsidiaries and R&D centres,

Dr. Fixit constantly brings innovative waterproofing solutions. Dr. Fixit also offers full technical support with

large pool of trained applicators.

Call us now to benefit from our state-of-the-art waterproofing systems for your new constructions.

The treatment of common problems in old constructions like damp walls,

plaster cracks, efflorescence, etc. needs specialised products backed with

the right application procedures to ensure their proper treatment and

durability.

Dr. Fixit, India’s leading waterproofing and repairs expert presents a

guide to treat leakages, providing details of the finest products and

correct application methodology to treat such common problems.

SURFACE PREPARATION

1. Mark the affected area to be repaired.

2. Remove all the existing paint, pop, painters putty, etc. completely from the surface till the cement sand plastered surface is exposed with the help of suitable tools.

3. Ensure to chip off an additional 2sq. ft. area on all four sides of the affected damp area.

WATERPROOFING SOLUTION FOR LEAKING bASEMENTS

Injection grouting for leaking and damp basements (PU injection grouting)

In basements, where there is drip leakage with or without pressure, they must be treated with low viscosity, polyurethane resin injections. leakage from masonry walls or concrete members in the roof, walls, bathroom ceilings, etc. must be treated with polyurethane injection. these injection system is the single-component system which reacts with water to form a foam or gel based on the amount of water encountered and bond extremely well to arrest leakage and dampness.

Methodology

SURFACE PREPARATION ANd APPLICATION

1. Inject all cracks and voids actively leaking water with low viscosity, single-component polyurethane injection.

2. the injection packers may be fixed into holes drilled directly into the crack or drilled diagonally from concrete adjacent to the crack. In case of curtain wall injection; long packers to be used to reach the void between waterproofing and structural member.

3. Conduct fixing of packers with water-based epoxy putty that can set and harden in the presence of water.

4. If the void that needs to be filled is wider; then recommend a 4:1 ratio Dr. Fixit Pu Foam Injection: Water and if the void that need filling is too narrow then; 1:4 Dr. Fixit Pu Foam Injection: Water is recommended.

5. Inject Dr. Fixit Pu Foam Injection using injection packers fixed and 2-C pumps equipped with a flushing unit.

6. Dr. Fixit Pu Foam Injection can be injected to damp voids without water,alone , to seal the leaks permanently.

7. Complete injecting into all the ports and allow the gel formation.

8. over the next 1 or 2 days, the water leakage will get arrested and stop leaking through the cracks or voids. In certain cases if leakage still persist do the injection again to get best results.

9. this process is the same for all residential and public water-containing structures or even dams and aqueducts.

Effective polyurethane injection grouting system for leaking and damp basement

Arrest any active water leakage in concrete and masonry walls.

Low viscosity penetrating into the finest of cracks.

Excellent bond to concrete after setting.

DR. FIxIT ROOFSEAlPAGEl Zl 10

SURFACE PREPARATION

All areas marked as honeycombs and big voids will be filled and densified with this treatment. the appropriate injection equipment as advised by the Dr. Fixit technical team should be used to inject the Pagel Zl 10 ultra-fine injection, which is supplied in a dry powder form. Right amount of water must be added (i.e. 0.4 to 0.5 w/c ratio) that will make the Zl 10 mixture extremely fluid.

SmALL VOIdS ANd HONeyCOmbS

Appropriate nozzles generally used for any cementitious injection will serve the purpose. the nozzles can be fixed directly over the voids.

FOr LArge VOIdS IN CONCreTe

1. For large voids in concrete, remove the loose aggregates and cement laitance

2. Provide shuttering over these areas and fill them in with Pagel Zl 10 grout through the nozzles.

3. the grout will develop good strength and areas that are shuttered for injections, can be undone, preferably after 48 hours, to ensure that no site abuse can damage the surface of the newly filled honeycombs.

4. If needed, finish off the surface of the concrete with the repair mortar Pagel R 20 / 20, rapid cementitious repair mortar, to increase the protection of the area.

Methodology

All honeycombs and voids caused due to lack of proper compaction of concrete shall be taken up for treatment with injecting ultra-fine cementitious injections

SOLUTION FOR VOIDS IN CONCRETE

Concrete if not compacted well, develops honeycombs and weakens the structure

Treat honeycombs in concrete with cementitious injections.

SOLUTION FOR STRENGTHENINGCONCRETE MEMbERS

SURFACE PREPARATION ANd APPLICATION

1. Mark out the crack in the concrete member.

2. Drill holes directly over the length of the crack using a drilling machine, at intervals of 6 to 9 inches along the length of the crack.

3. In case of cracks up to 2 mm wide, fix the injection nozzles directly over the crack, using a drilling machine.

4. Affix a non-return type of injection ports / nozzles in these holes with fast-setting epoxy putty and let it dry for about 2 to 3 days.

5. Also, seal the crack between the ports with epoxy putty.

6. In cases where the crack is wider than 2 mm up to 4 to 5 mm, drill holes at the sides of the crack in a staggered fashion as shown in the picture, at intervals of 6 inches and affix them with epoxy putty as mentioned above.

7. Also, seal the face of the crack with a liberal application of the epoxy putty.

8. It is advised (since epoxy putty hardens sufficiently in a period of 2 to 3 days) to take sufficient pressure off the injection hose and the pressure that may develop while injecting the epoxy grout resin.

9. start pumping in Dr. Fixit Epoxy Injection after mixing it in a pail or a container, with an appropriate injection pump.

10. Pumping can stop once the pressure is felt and no more epoxy resin can be injected.

11. Allow the resin to set for at least 7 full days, while it will harden and cure the crack.

12. over-painting or coating can be done on the concrete after the ports have been cut and removed, and the epoxy seal putty is ground off with a rotary scrubbing machine for surface preparation.

Methodology

Effective solution for cracks in structural members like concrete retaining wall

Strengthens damaged concrete when injected.

Can be injected even if water or moisture is present.

DR. FIxIT ROOFSEAl

SURFACE PREPARATION

1. Mark out the area to be taken up for concrete repair and mechanically cut to a depth into the concrete well behind the re-bars so that the micro-concrete can be placed effectively over a treatment with the suitable bonding agent.

2. Coat the steel reinforcement bars with a single component Dr. Fixit Epoxy Zinc Primer as cathodic protection..

APPLICATION

1. use Dr. Fixit Epoxy bonding Agent for an area over 10 sq. ft. of concrete repair in the underside of slab or repair of the RCC wall.

2. For other general repairs, use Dr. Fixit Pidicrete MPb, an acrylic bonding agent, by applying it neatly over a pre-wetted surface.

3. After this dries, the cut area can be applied with Dr. Fixit Micro Concrete or Dr. Fixit Repair Mortar.

4. After the repair mortar sets, apply Dr. Fixit Raincoat (any choice of colour) as a waterproofing.
