Terrace Leakage: Find the Water Path Before Choosing the Waterproofing System
Leaks on terraces are often treated as a coating problem when the real cause may be cracks, joints, drainage, penetrations, slope or failed detailing.
Water stands after rain and ceiling stains recur.
Use the site evidence to agree a project-specific method with the responsible engineer, concrete producer, manufacturer or specialist applicator.
Water stands after rain and ceiling stains recur.
Survey falls with levels; inspect outlets, screed cracks and wet patches during rain.
Blocked outlets, reverse slope or trapped water may overload weak details.
Restore positive drainage and repair discontinuities; select a system compatible with expected movement and exposure.
Dry or condition substrate to product limits; detail outlets and upstands before field application; protect the membrane.
Check falls, membrane continuity and the specified flood or spray test before finishes.
Do not coat over standing water or assume the visible stain is directly below the entry point.
