How does Wetfill Solve Terrace Cracks

There are two ways of doing waterproofing on existing terrace.

(i) Crack filling method or
(ii) Application of 2 coat screet based polymer method.

Usually a waterproofing contractor will ask for your preference of method for waterproofing. He later will check on site and suggest the suitable treatment.

Crack Filling Waterproofing Method

As the name suggests, the crack developed is treated in desired way. Here the crack is firstly cut in a V-grove with help of marble cutter. The crack is cut in V grove by tilting the marble cutter at an angle. This grooving is done so that the waterproofing chemical settles in thus waterproofing the crack. The cut given is approxim
How does Wetfill solve Cracks in Water Storage Tank

To waterproof water storage tank, the first and most important step is to empty water from the storage tank. Secondly the tank needs to be completely dry internally for waterproofing procedure to be carried out. Incase of polymer treatment, the tank need not really have to be completely dry.

Drying water storage Tank

As we saw earlier, water storage tank needs to be completely dry for waterproofing. But how is that done? One may think its left for drying by itself just like how it is done for painting the wall. Here the tank needs to be dry internally as waterproofing treatment will happen from inside the tank. So just think if the tank is left by itself for drying, how time consuming it could be. And imagine to stay without water for so many more days!!!

Home owners need not take the stress for thinking about it. With technology and science, water storage tank can easily be dried with tool. This tool is a gas torch of low lamp that helps in drying up in no time.

Once the tank is completely dried internally, waterproofing treatment is carried out.

Stepwise waterproofing Treatment

Crack in water tank is sealed using EPOXY grouting.
i. Firstly the crack or affected area is exposed by breaking the plaster.
ii. The crack is then grooved or cut in “V” shape.
iii. The affected area is then drilled. Drilling is done at 6” from the affected area.
iv. A pipe is placed through which EPOXY grouting is applied followed by further waterproofing treatment.
Similar process to waterproofing is carried out in case of multiple cracks in water tank.
