BATHROOM AND TOILET WATEBATHRPROOFING

1. The sunken portion or floor bed.
2. Nahani traps and drainage pipes.
3. Sanitary fittings.
4. The shower splash zone.
Also, The seepage of acidic water from bathroom cleaners into the floor bed can lead to the corrosion of the waterproofing layer and the deterioration of the concrete beneath the tiles. To ensure your bathroom remains 100% leak-proof, we recommend using Constroman.

Waterproofing during construction is the ideal choice! It prevents future leakage problems and eliminates the hassles of post-construction repairs. Additionally, it saves both time and money in the long run. Think of waterproofing as insurance for protecting your valuable assets. The best way to do so is by coating your bathroom using Constroman.

There is no definitive way to pinpoint the exact cause of leakage (e.g., seepage through tiles, walls, nahani traps, or the sunken portion). For further assistance, please contact us.

Best practices include:
1. High grade cementitious or single component rubber WP.
2. Pressure test of plumbing pipes before & after finishing.
3. Slope of B B coba to be given towards nahani trap.
4. Addition of fibers & Latex in Ghotai of B B coba.
5. Mark Dummy lines on top of ghotai to control cracks.
6. Keep Spacer joint of 3-5mm between two tiles.
7. Fill spacer joint with epoxy tile joint filler.
8. Encourage mopping shower areas after use.

The following practices must be voided to ensure leak proof bathroom:
1. Substandard/Incorrect waterproofing treatment.
2. Unsealed joints in Concealed pipe lines.
3. Neglecting core cut, threshold joint.
4. Paper joint between two tiles which cannot be filled.
5. Damage to Concealed pipes during Accessory fittings.
6. Saturated tile bedding mortar.
7. Continuous water stagnation on the floor.
8. Use of harsh cleaning chemicals on regular basis.



INTEGRAL WATERPROOFING

Yes, during every concrete work,

We recommend using CONSTROMAN U-313 as an integral waterproofing compound. This solution provides optimal waterproofing for plaster and concrete, prevents corrosion in steel reinforcement, and enhances the workability of mortar, reducing rebound loss. Afterward, apply a coating layer of CONSTROMAN U-515 for further protection.

No, CONSTROMAN U-313 has anti rusting properties that actually prevent the steel from rusting.

Our product carries the ISI Mark (IS 2645:2003), which is certified by the government of India. It undergoes tests such as chloride testing for rust free properties, compressive strength testing to ensure the strength of concrete remains same , setting time evaluation to ensure precise initial setting time and final setting time remains same, and water permeability testing by the government authorities to ensure that the product is safe to use.

Integral waterproofing is necessary for every type of concrete work.
1. RCC: Column, Beam, Slab, Footing, etc.
2. PCC.
3. Canals.
4. Concrete Roads.
5. GSR+ESR.
6. Water Tanks.

Yes, it is an additional protection layer for your construction which gives you a peace of mind. We recommend using CONSTROMAN U-515 for external waterproofing.



EXTERNAL WATERPROOFING

Before the monsoon, ensure all drains are cleaned and a proper slope is provided And then Use mortar mixed with CONSTROMAN U-515. The best part is that you don’t need to break your terrace, unlike the traditional brickbat coba method.

Thermal Expansion and Contraction, Heat of hydration, Shrinkage in Cement Mortar, etc lead to hairline cracks in plaster. To waterproof them, use CONSTROMAN U-515 coating.

Dampness in walls is caused by the presence of unwanted moisture that penetrates through walls or floors. It weakens the structure, damages finishes, and creates an unhealthy environment. This is caused due to:
1. Poor Waterproofing.
2. Capillary Action (Rising Damp).
3. Water Seepage (External Source).
To waterproof, use CONSTROMAN U-515 coating.

Persistent dampness inside the house encourages bacterial and fungal growth, posing a risk to residents' health. It can lead to respiratory issues such as asthma, frequent colds, and coughs. Additionally, damp walls often produce a foul odor, making the living environment uncomfortable and unhealthy.

These areas are major entry points for water, which damages the interior. To stop this, apply a coating of CONSTROMAN U-515.
