CHECKLIST FOR WATERPROOFING



Process of Work (Stepwise) for application of Hyperplast polymeric waterproofing membrane:

1.     The Bathroom, passage sunks, balconies & open sundecks, etc. where Hyperplas polymeric waterproofing membrane is to be applied has to be thoroughly cleaned with wire brush to eliminate all sharp projections, oil, grease, etc.

2.   The cleaned surface must then be grouted with cement slurry, and a smooth base coat of cement: sand mortar mix 1:5 must be applied over the grouted surface, with proper leveling and smoothening. The surface should be cured for 7 days.

3.   Water based bitumen primer should be applied with brush over the dry smooth base coat. Hyperplas polymeric waterproofing membrane sheets should then be unrolled over the coated surface with overlaps of 10cms.and upto a height of 80cms. along the vertical surface and bonded thoroughly to the coated surface by application of hot blown Bitumen of 85/25 grade with a gas operated torch and the overlaps must then be thermofused by torch application to ensure that joints are leak proof. Care should be taken so that there is no overheating of membrane to prevent complete loss of homogeneity. Also Hyperplas sheets should be checked for cracks, tears, holes or other manufacturing defects before use. 

4.    Screed coat of cement: sand mortar mix 1:5 should then be applied over Hyperplas sheets with fixing of chicken mesh using buttons of  Hyperplas  for all vertical surfaces. The surface should be cured for 3 days.

Process of Work (Stepwise) for Bathroom/Passage sunk filling:

1.  The sunken surface should be cleaned thoroughly.

       2. Provision of a 32mm PVC pipe for water escape outlet should be made just above the screed coat at the center of the sunken surface towards the sloping end.

3. All plumbing holes and openings should be sealed water tight.

      4.  The sunken portion should then be filled with cement : sand mortar mix 1:5 with rubble stone packing of size 10cms.and water proofing compound Nafufill and all gaps and interstices should be thoroughly filled. The sunk should then be filled with water and cured for 3 days.

5.  A smoothening coat of cement: sand mortar mix 1:5 should then be applied over the filled sunk with the required slope. The smooth surface should then be cured and the sunk should be filled with water for testing for min. 7 days.
