Strengthen the Building's Core Structure

The mother roof is the main structural slab that supports upper-level rooms or additional load-bearing structures. In Chennai’s climate, this crucial component of a building is especially vulnerable to seepage, thermal stress, and structural damage. EMERGE INFRA provides advanced mother roof waterproofing services using GBS crystalline waterproofing, PU membranes, and multi-layered protection systems that offer deep penetration and long-lasting sealing to protect the integrity of your structure.

Why Waterproofing the Mother Roof is Essential

Waterproofing the mother roof is critical because even minor seepage can cause major structural issues over time:

  • Seepage Affects Lower Floors: Water infiltration can damage ceilings, walls, and embedded electrical conduits.
  • Steel Reinforcement Rusting: Continuous exposure to moisture leads to corrosion of rebar, weakening the concrete structure.
  • Mold Growth: Persistent dampness promotes unhealthy fungal growth on ceilings and walls.
  • Structural Cracks & High Maintenance: Water penetration causes expansion, contraction, and cracks, leading to frequent and costly repairs.
  • Reduced Load-Bearing Capacity: Over time, seepage can significantly weaken the slab’s ability to bear structural loads.

Our Waterproofing Technique

EMERGE INFRA uses a comprehensive, multi-step approach to ensure complete waterproofing of the mother roof:

  • Crack & Joint Repair: Injection grouting and polymer-modified mortar are used to seal all visible and hidden cracks or movement joints.
  • Crystalline Waterproofing: GBS chemicals penetrate deep into the concrete, sealing internal pores and capillaries for integral waterproofing.
  • Multi-Layer Coating System: A combination of PU and cementitious coatings provides flexible yet durable surface protection.
  • Protective Finishing Screed: A strong screed layer is applied to shield the membrane from physical damage and allow for flooring or equipment installation.
  • Water Testing: Before and after testing is done to ensure 100% waterproof sealing performance.
