Waterproofing / Site problem guide

Terrace ponding and recurring leakage

Water stands after rain and ceiling stains recur.

A practical decision sequence

Diagnose the cause, then verify the repair.

Use the site evidence to agree a project-specific method with the responsible engineer, concrete producer, manufacturer or specialist applicator.

01 / Symptom

What is happening?

Water stands after rain and ceiling stains recur.

02 / Inspect and test

Evidence to collect

Survey falls with levels; inspect outlets, screed cracks and wet patches during rain.

03 / Likely mechanism

Why it can fail

Blocked outlets, reverse slope or trapped water may overload weak details.

04 / Technical response

Choose the system

Restore positive drainage and repair discontinuities; select a system compatible with expected movement and exposure.

05 / Site execution

Control the application

Dry or condition substrate to product limits; detail outlets and upstands before field application; protect the membrane.

06 / Acceptance

Verify the result

Check falls, membrane continuity and the specified flood or spray test before finishes.

Avoid this shortcut

Do not coat over standing water or assume the visible stain is directly below the entry point.

These guides are editorial starting points, not a project specification. Confirm the design, product data, substrate conditions and inspection plan for the actual site.
