Terrace waterproofing of high rise in Mumbai

 Modern Residential /Commercial or Industrial complexes have a large floor plate spanning over several wings , having expansion joint based on the length of the building.

These when not properly taken care gives rise to leakages in the terrace .
to single standalone buildings, multi-wing complexes have a rhythmic set of staircase and lift room blocks at regular intervals.
It is combined with a series of services, like water supply inlet/outlet lines running around the core, i.e overhead water tanks.
Presence of expansion/construction joints can lead to multiple leakages along the entire height of the building leading to façade leakages and podium leakages too.
To add to the problem the wall surfaces within are not plastered . Later these areas are not accessible to identify the flow and pattern of leakages.
Toilet duct open/semi-open or enclosed areas each have their own share of benefits and problems depending on the height of the building.
Solar panels, wind mills and other energy saving devices if not carefully planned at the onset lead to early ageing of the terrace surface leading to leakages.
Modern complexes are indeed ‘Complex’ essentially at the top and since this is the first receiving point of water leakage due to exposure to weathering conditions an efficient waterproofing system is essential for the life of the building and comfort its inhabitants.
Its thus important to get the building diagnosed for leakages and also fix the leakages with a good waterproofing contractor.   https://leakproof.in
