STATE-OF-THE-ART WATERPROOFING SYSTEMS

Waterproofing, a process designed to prevent water from penetrating a structure, is typically done in

various layers and stages to create multiple barriers and prevent water from penetrating the structure.

A combination of such stages is referred to as creating a “Building Envelope”.

However, most often, not enough importance is given to this very crucial aspect 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 Over reliance on conventional and outdated systems, low awareness about modern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 prime reasons.

Dr. Fixit has a wide range of innovative systems solution to address waterproofing needs by surface area.

It not only recommends the right system but also invests significantly in educating professionals and

upgrading the workmanship of the applicators.

In the pursuit of spreading awareness, Dr. Fixit has launched an App that gives waterproofing details

at fingertips. The Dr. Fixit App keeps professionals and users updated with the latest from the arena of

waterproofing and propagates the right practice of application.

In addition, the newly launched Dr. Fixit Experience Centre at Chennai, the first of many, furthers

the cause of training and knowledge enhancement. It is a unique space that connects architects,

consultants, builders and contractors and facilitates the exploration and adoption of modern and latest

waterproofing solutions. It aims at highlighting and executing cutting-edge technology in waterproofing

systems all year round.

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.

Three pronged system for effective concrete repair

Protect steel reinforcement bars with Dr. Fixit Epoxy Zinc Primer.

Use Dr. Fixit Epoxy Bonding agent for repair of RCC wall, underside of the slab.

Apply Dr. Fixit Micro Concrete to the cut area.

SURFACE PREPARATION

1. Mark out the area to be taken up for concrete repair and mechanically cut to a depth into the concrete well behind the re-bars so that the micro-concrete can be placed effectively over a treatment with the suitable bonding agent.

2. Coat the steel reinforcement bars with a single component Zinc Primer as cathodic protection.

APPLICATION

1. Use Dr. Fixit Epoxy Bonding Agent for an area over 10 sq. ft. of concrete repair in the underside of slab or repair of the RCC wall.

2. For other general repairs, use Dr. Fixit Pidicrete MPB, an acrylic bonding agent, by applying it neatly over a pre-wetted surface.

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 or if required for as anti-carbonation coating use Dr. Fixit Concrete Guard WB as a protective coating.

DR. FIxIT ROOFSEAl

SURFACE PREPARATION ANd APPLICATION

1. Mark out the crack in the concrete member.

2. Drill holes 5 cm in 45o angle staggered on either side along the crack using a drilling machine, at intervals of 6 to 9 inches.

3. Affix a non-return type of injection ports / nozzles in these holes with fast-setting epoxy putty and let it dry for about 2 to 3 days.

4. Also, seal the crack between the ports with epoxy putty.

5. 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 and affix them with epoxy putty as mentioned above.

6. Also, seal the face of crack with a liberal application of the epoxy putty.

7. 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.

8. Start pumping in Dr. Fixit Epoxy Injection after mixing it in a pail or a container, with an appropriate injection pump.

9. Pumping can stop once the pressure is felt and no more epoxy resin can be injected.

10. Allow the resin to set for at least 7 full days, while it will harden and cure the crack.

11. Over-painting or coating can be done on the concrete after the ports have been cut and removed, and the epoxy seal putty is ground off with a rotary scrubbing machine for surface preparation.

Strengthens damaged concrete when injected.

Can be injected even if water or moisture is present.

DR. FIxIT ROOFSEAl

PU Injection technology comprising of two categories in single and two component are available.

a) Dr. Fixit Drip Plug: Reacts with water to expand and gel forming a barrier to water in stagnant and mild leakage conditions.

b) Dr. Fixit Pu Foam injection: Foams to displace the water from cracks and voids in a structure in heavy leakage, high water pressure conditions as a temporary water-stop.

c) Dr. Fixit Pu Plain injection: Permanent polyurethane sealing injection used in conjunction with PU Foam or individually.

Methodology

SURFACE PREPARATION ANd APPLICATION

1. Inject all crack and voids identified properly for heavy/stagnant water leakages and accordingly use two/single component PU Injection.

2. Fix injection packers in the leakage areas after proper drilling of holes and cleaning with blower. Then fix the injection packers for pumping the single /two component PU Injection.

3. Injection packers to be fixed correctly at the leakage source to avoid back pressure. Sealing of packers to ensure back pressure loss is avoided, cementitious compound/fast set epoxy to be applied.

4. Now inject Dr. Fixit PU injection as a single component or two component as a system.( Dr. Fixit PU Foam is used for high pressure active leakages but as a temporary stoppage. Thereafter you can use Dr. Fixit PU Plain or Dr. Fixit Drip Plug.)

5. Complete injecting into all the ports.

6. Over the few hours, the water leakage will get arrested and stop leaking through the cracks or voids.

7. Water may leak from adjacent weaker structure locations which should be injected for complete treatment.

DR. FIxIT ROOFSEAlPAGEl Zl 10

SURFACE PREPARATION

All areas marked as honeycombs and big voids will be filled and densified with this treatment. The appropriate injection equipment as advised by the Dr. Fixit technical team should be used to inject the Pagel ZL 10 ultra-fine injection, which is supplied in a dry powder form. Right amount of water must be added (i.e. 0.4 to 0.5 w/c ratio) that will make the ZL 10 mixture extremely fluid.

SmALL VOIdS ANd HONEyCOmbS

Appropriate nozzles generally used for any cementitious injection will serve the purpose. The nozzles can be fixed directly over the voids.

FOR LARgE VOIdS IN CONCRETE

1. For large voids in concrete, remove the loose aggregates and cement laitance

2. Provide shuttering over these areas and fill them in with Pagel ZL 10 grout through the nozzles.

3. The grout will develop good strength and areas that are shuttered for injections, can be undone, preferably after 48 hours, to ensure that no site abuse can damage the surface of the newly filled honeycombs.

4. If needed, finish off the surface of the concrete with the repair mortar Pagel R 20 / 20, rapid cementitious repair mortar, to increase the protection of the area.

All honeycombs and voids caused due to lack of proper compaction of concrete shall be taken up for treatment with injecting ultra-fine cementitious injections

SOLUTION FOR VOIDS IN CONCRETE

Concrete if not compacted well, develops honeycombs and weakens the structure

Treat honeycombs in concrete with cementitious injections.

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 2 sq. 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 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.
