WATERPROOFING A WALL FROM INSIDE

On Friday 29/07/2022 we visited to the CIRCUIT HOUSE building for construction visit for
our Vocational Training. In this portion of our training work, we learned how to waterproof a
wall from inside.

Water seepage and dampness are common problems that most house owners face. Poor
construction quality and lack of proper waterproofing measures are the key reasons behind
these problems. While the immediate effects such as puffiness of the walls, dampness and
peeling of paint seem to be negligible, but these can cause severe damage to the property if
not taken care of at the right time.

PRODUCT USED FOR WATERPROOFING THE WALLS:

SHYAM STEEL STURDFLEX- ACRYLIC MAX 2K and CEMMIX

APPLICATION PROCESS
At first plaster was removed till brickwork. After removing the plaster, the walls were
cleaned with steel brush and water. Then the two components of ACRYLIC MAX 2K (liquid
and powder) were mixed in 1:2 proportion, and applied 2 coats to the wall. Then the walls
were cured for two days. Then repair morter was prepared with the SHYAM STEEL
STURDFLEX CEMMIX in a proportion of 200ml per 50kg bag and applied to the wall and
the walls were cured for two more days. Then normal putty and paintwork was done.
