How long does waterproofing last in Chennai?

A correctly applied PU or membrane system on a prepared surface typically performs for 8–10 years in Chennai's climate. Systems applied over unrepaired cracks or a poorly drained slab often fail within one or two monsoons.

Is waterproofing possible during the monsoon?

Repairs and injection grouting can be done in wet weather, but coatings need a dry, cured surface. We schedule coating work in dry windows, ideally 4–6 weeks before the northeast monsoon.

Which waterproofing method is best for a Chennai terrace?

PU coating and membrane systems are the two most common choices, selected based on sun exposure, foot traffic and whether the terrace doubles as usable space.

Can a basement be waterproofed after construction?

Yes. Injection grouting into the affected cracks, combined with crystalline treatment, is the practical approach when re-excavating around a finished structure isn't realistic.
