Building Waterproofing Service
Protect Your Property with Expert Building Waterproofing
Building waterproofing is a critical process that prevents water from penetrating through walls, roofs, basements, and other structural elements. Without a proper waterproofing system, buildings are vulnerable to issues such as leaks, dampness, mold growth, and deterioration of concrete and steel reinforcement.
However, no waterproofing system lasts forever. Over time, it may fail due to natural aging, poor application, structural movement, ponding of water, or even external damage. Once this happens, water can seep into the building structure, causing cracks, peeling paint, corrosion, and in severe cases, compromising structural integrity.
To maintain the strength, safety, and value of your property, it is essential to regularly inspect and upgrade the waterproofing system before major issues occur. At Aquacare Solution, our expert team provides effective building waterproofing solutions that safeguard both residential and commercial properties, ensuring long-lasting protection and peace of mind.

What We Offer
Stop Solution for Building Waterproofing
We provide professional structural repairing and waterproofing services to effectively stop water leakage in reinforced concrete (RC) tanks and other concrete structures. Our method targets the root cause of the problem by repairing the damaged areas, not just covering the symptoms.
Our service includes thorough cleaning of the RC tank, detailed inspection of failure points such as honeycombs, crack lines, exposed steel bars, and construction joints, followed by structural patching using non-shrink grout. We also apply angle fillets at wall and base intersections to strengthen critical joints before completing the process with a high-quality cementitious waterproofing system.
Unlike temporary solutions, we do not recommend using HDPE membranes without proper repair work. HDPE membranes are not waterproofing products and cannot permanently stop leaks on their own. Our approach ensures long-term protection by restoring the structural integrity of your concrete tank and providing a reliable, lasting waterproofing solution.
Our structural repairing & polyurea waterproofing service offers a highly effective and durable solution for waterproofing concrete structures. Polyurea coating is well-known for its excellent waterproofing strength and slightly flexible finish, providing long-term protection against water penetration.
The process begins with proper surface preparation and concrete repair, including cleaning the surface and patching defects such as honeycombs, crack lines, exposed steel bars, and construction joints using non-shrink grout. Once the surface is restored, an epoxy pre-filled primer is applied, followed by spraying a 2mm thick layer of polyurea coating across the concrete surfaces for complete waterproof coverage.
While polyurea is a reliable and efficient method, it requires specialized spraying equipment that is large and heavy. This can limit its use in small, narrow, or hard-to-reach areas where machinery cannot be easily positioned. For accessible spaces, however, polyurea waterproofing is one of the most durable and fast-curing solutions available.
Our torch-on membrane waterproofing service uses a durable membrane made from polymer and bitumen that adheres firmly to concrete surfaces, typically on floors and walls. The membrane is heated with a torch gun to melt and bond it securely to the surface, creating an effective barrier that stops both water and moisture penetration. This method is known for being environmentally friendly, reliable, and highly efficient.
Torch-on membranes are non-water soluble and extremely resistant to rainwater, making them ideal for external areas like roofs, concrete canopies, balconies, gutters, planter boxes, and more. For the waterproofing system to perform effectively, it is essential to fully cover the floor area and extend the membrane up the wall to a minimum height of half a foot. Without this proper wall upturn, water may seep between the membrane and concrete, leading to potential failure.
However, this method is not suitable for areas with multiple ground pipes, brackets, bolts, or wooden structures, as these can interfere with membrane adhesion and compromise the waterproofing quality. For the right applications, Torch-On Membrane offers a long-lasting and highly effective waterproofing solution.
Our acrylic coating service offers a flexible and convenient solution, especially for external areas where traditional waterproofing methods like Torch-On Membranes are not suitable. Acrylic coating is a liquid-applied waterproofing membrane made from synthetic resins dispersed in water. It is highly versatile and can be applied easily using a brush or roller, even in areas with complex piping, brackets, or tight spaces.
Before application, we ensure proper surface preparation by removing any loose screed, damaged coating, and debris. Cracks and damaged areas are patched using non-shrink grout to restore the surface. The acrylic coating is then applied in multiple layers, typically with at least two coats and a layer of fiberglass in between to reinforce the membrane and ensure strong adhesion to the concrete slab.
Acrylic coating is durable, UV-resistant, and can withstand harsh atmospheric conditions, making it a reliable choice for long-term waterproofing protection. This method is popular for its ease of application, cost-effectiveness, and ability to provide lasting results in challenging or hard-to-reach areas.
We offer polyurea coating, a fast and highly durable solution for protecting concrete surfaces. Applied using a heat-mixing spray system, polyurea forms a strong, slightly flexible waterproof layer that easily covers complex areas around pipes and structures.
Before spraying, we ensure proper surface preparation by removing loose screed, cleaning the surface, and repairing cracks with non-shrink grout. An epoxy primer is applied, followed by a 2mm thick polyurea coating. A PU topcoat can also be added for UV protection.
This method is efficient and reliable but is best suited for large, accessible areas due to the size of the spraying equipment. In the right setting, polyurea offers long-lasting, seamless waterproofing protection.
Polyurethane (PU) Injection service is a commonly used method to quickly stop water penetration through cracks, honeycomb areas, and other concrete defects. PU injection uses hydrophobic polyurethane that expands to seal the leaking areas effectively.
While this method is affordable and efficient for immediate leak control, it is a temporary solution that does not address the root cause of the leakage. PU injection only seals the affected spot, and water may find new weak points over time.
For long-term protection, proper structural repairs and comprehensive waterproofing are recommended to fully eliminate the source of water penetration and prevent future leaks.
Silicone Sealing service is designed to prevent water leakage around glass panels, window frames, and similar structures. Water penetration often occurs when the existing silicone seal has deteriorated over time, allowing rainwater or splashes to seep through.
We provide a thorough resealing process by removing the old, degraded silicone and carefully applying fresh, high-quality silicone to seal all gaps. This restores the waterproofing and effectively blocks external water sources from entering.
Silicone sealing is a simple yet essential maintenance step to ensure long-lasting protection and prevent costly water damage.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Waterproofing serves to prevent water infiltration into walls together with flooring and ceilings. By stopping water from entering the building structure receives protection against damage and the prevention of mold along with other issues that can affect both the building and its occupants.
For the foundation in particular, waterproofing should be carried out during construction. It’s easier to apply protective layers before walls and floors are fully enclosed.
A few primary categories exist. Some are liquid coatings, some are sheet form and some are built into the concrete mix. Each is selected based on the requirements of the building.
The presence of peeling paint together with musty odors and mold growth along with damp walls and white powdery marks on surfaces indicate waterproofing problems. These symptoms typically indicate that waterproofing either does not exist or has failed.
Waterproofing is needed in areas most regularly exposed to water or moisture. This would be the basement and foundation, all areas of roofing types, balconies and terraces, as well as in wet areas (bathrooms, toilets, kitchens) of the building. In some cases, walls on the outside and joints between windows may require waterproofing to limit rainwater intrusion.
The life span of any waterproofing system relies mostly on the materials used, installation, and exposure. With all of this considered there are average life expectancy ranges for good waterproofing systems of 5 years to 20 years. There are many different factors that affect the longevity, such as weather, movement of the building, regular maintenance or lack of it, type of installation, etc. Good practices to make waterproofing last longer, is to incorporate a combination of products such as membranes and protective coatings.
