PU Injection Grouting – A Quick and Effective Waterproofing Solution for Homes, Offices and Commercial Premises

 



Ceiling leakages are a common issue in high-rise buildings, especially during the rainy season. These leaks often originate from an overhead source such as the terrace or a flat above. Leakage is a two-step process — it has a source and a path. Identifying both is crucial for a long-term, leak-free home.

At Leakproof.in, our Home Waterproofing Solutions focus on accurate leakage detection and sealing to prevent future damage.

Understanding the Leakage Path

Water travels through cracks, structural gaps, or hollow channels within the ceiling slab or wall. These pathways can form due to:

  • Ageing of the building structure
  • Cracks or fissures in concrete
  • Porosity or hollow pockets
  • Gaps around concealed pipes or conduits

Often, the full extent of a 360º leakage becomes visible only after considerable damage has occurred. This is where PU Injection Grouting becomes an ideal, rapid-response technique.

What is PU Injection Grouting?

PU (Polyurethane) Injection Grouting is a high-performance waterproofing solution that involves injecting PU foam directly into the leaking areas using specialized equipment.

This method is highly effective because the PU chemical expands and reacts upon contact with water, sealing the leakage path from within. This creates a water-tight barrier that blocks further water intrusion.

Key Advantages of PU Grouting:

  • Quick Action – Ideal for urgent repairs during the rainy season
  • Deep Penetration – Seals fine cracks and voids that are not visible externally
  • Long-Lasting – PU foam retains elasticity and effectiveness over time
  • Non-Invasive – Requires minimal breakage or structural disturbance
  • Versatile Application – Works on ceilings, slabs, terraces, and joints

How It Works:

  1. Leak Source Identification – Using thermal scanning or moisture detection tools
  2. Drilling & Injection – PU resin is injected at high pressure into affected areas
  3. Foaming Reaction – The chemical expands and seals the water pathway
  4. Post-Treatment Inspection – Ensures that the problem has been completely addressed

Depending on the site conditions, single or two-component PU chemicals are used. In some cases, additional sealing agents may be applied for enhanced durability.

Will Water Find a New Path?

A common concern is whether water might leak from another point if one path is sealed. In most cases, this does not happen, thanks to the deep penetration and expansion properties of PU foam. If leakage continues, it is usually due to:

  • An untreated source
  • Poor workmanship
  • Unidentified multiple leak points

This is why expert intervention and accurate diagnosis are essential.

Conclusion

PU Injection Grouting is one of the fastest and most reliable waterproofing methods available today — especially during monsoon emergencies. Whether it is a ceiling, slab, or internal wall, this technique offers a powerful solution to stop water in its tracks. This solution is ideal for homes, offices and commercial premises, where we cannot bring things to a halt.
