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Over reliance on conventional and outdated systems, low awareness about modern waterproofing systems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

Methodology
SURFACE PREPARATION
1. Cut open and clean cracks in the existing screed or Brickbat coba systems with compressed air.
2. Repair these cracks with polymer modified mortar modified with Dr. Fixit Pidicrete URP.
3. Clean the surface thoroughly of all contaminants like dust, traces of curing compound, oil and
grease. Remove all surface imperfections, protrusions, structurally unsound and loose concrete.
4. Prime the surface with Dr. Fixit Primeseal and allow it to dry. Apply the first coat of Dr. Fixit
Newcoat.
5. While it is still wet, place a woven glass fibre mesh of measurements 2 mm x 2 mm and allow it to
soak completely. Immediately apply the second coat with a roller or squeeze, to ensure complete
coverage of the fibre mesh.
6. Apply the third coat after 6 to 8 hrs, once the second coat is dry.
7. For roofs below 2000 sq. ft., use 2 coats of Dr. Fixit Newcoat Ezee.
Methodology
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.
APPLICATION
1. Add 25 - 30% water to Dr. Fixit Wonderproof 1 to make a slurry coating and apply over the entire surface.
2. Allow the first coat of Dr. Fixit Wonderproof 1 and leave it to dry for 4 to 6 hours.
3. Apply the second coat of Dr. Fixit Wonderproof 1 in a perpendicular direction to the first coat and allow it to dry for
4 hours. In case of severe dampness a third coat of Dr. Fixit Wonderproof 1 is recommended.
4. Prepare a putty/mortar by adding 35 – 40 % water to Dr. Fixit Wonderproof 2 and apply it over the completely
dried Dr. Fixit Wonderproof1 treated surface for levelling.
5. After 20 to 30 minutes of the application of Dr. Fixit Wonderproof 2, level the surface using a putty blade/
aluminium float. Check the level and undulations, if required repeat the process until the desired level is achieved.
6. After 20 – 30 mins with the help of a water brush finish the surface with a putty blade/trowel.
7. Allow Dr. Fixit Wonderproof 2 to dry completely prior to painting.

5. Also, seal the crack between the ports with epoxy putty. 2. For other general repairs, use Dr. Fixit Pidicrete MPB, an acrylic bonding agent, by applying it neatly over a pre-
wetted surface.
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 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.
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.
