Waterproofing in Khar, Mumbai
Atlanta Waterproofing & Protective System provides waterproofing and building restoration across Khar (H/West Ward, pincodes 400052). The locality records around 2,500 mm of rain annually and is dominated by low-rise residential societies and bungalows and villas in the 20-70 years range. We are roughly 22 minutes away.
What makes Khar different
Predominantly low-rise society stock from the 1970s and 80s, much of it on its original terrace system. Slab loading generally permits traditional brick bat coba, which is often the most economical long-term answer here.
The building stock here is principally low-rise residential societies, bungalows and villas, redeveloped mid-rise, mostly in the 20-70 years band. The failure patterns that follow from that are terrace waterproofing past service life on 1970s-80s societies, villa terrace and balcony leakage, external plaster debonding.
We work throughout the area, including around Khar Gymkhana, Linking Road, Khar Danda.
What we do in Khar
- Terrace Waterproofing in Khar
Terrace waterproofing is the application of a continuous water barrier across a roof slab, laid to a fall so rainwater drains rather than ponds.
- Basement Waterproofing in Khar
Basement waterproofing protects a below-grade structure against groundwater under hydrostatic pressure.
- Bathroom Waterproofing in Khar
Bathroom waterproofing seals the sunk slab and wet-area walls so water from daily use cannot reach the flat below.
- Toilet Waterproofing in Khar
Toilet waterproofing seals the sunken slab, wall skirting and pipe penetrations of a WC area so water cannot migrate into the structure or the flat below.
- Brick Bat Coba Waterproofing in Khar
Brick bat coba is the traditional Indian terrace system: broken brick pieces bedded in waterproofed cement mortar, laid to a fall and finished with china mosaic or IPS.
- China Mosaic Waterproofing in Khar
China mosaic is a finish of broken glazed ceramic tile pieces set in waterproofed cement mortar over a terrace.
- APP Membrane Waterproofing in Khar
APP membrane is an atactic-polypropylene-modified bitumen sheet, torch-applied to a primed substrate with lapped and sealed joints.
- SBS Membrane Waterproofing in Khar
SBS membrane is a styrene-butadiene-styrene-modified bitumen sheet.
- HDPE Membrane Waterproofing in Khar
HDPE membrane waterproofing uses a high-density polyethylene sheet, generally pre-applied below rafts and against retaining walls before concrete is poured.
- TPO Membrane Waterproofing in Khar
TPO is a single-ply thermoplastic polyolefin membrane whose seams are hot-air welded rather than glued, producing a homogeneous joint as strong as the sheet.
- Polyurea Waterproofing in Khar
Polyurea is a spray-applied, fast-setting elastomeric coating that gels within seconds and forms a seamless, high-elongation, highly abrasion-resistant membrane.
- PU Grouting in Khar
PU grouting injects polyurethane resin under pressure into a leaking crack or joint.
- Injection Grouting in Khar
Injection grouting forces a cementitious or epoxy grout under pressure into cracks, voids and honeycombed concrete to restore continuity and block water paths.
- Overhead Water Tank (OHWT) Waterproofing in Khar
Overhead water tank waterproofing lines the internal faces of an elevated potable-water tank with a non-toxic, water-resistant system, and treats the external faces and base where leakage tracks into the structure below.
- Underground Water Tank (UGT) Waterproofing in Khar
Underground tank waterproofing must resist water in both directions — the stored water pushing out, and groundwater pushing in.
- Swimming Pool Waterproofing in Khar
Swimming pool waterproofing lines the pool shell so treated water cannot escape into the structure and so chemically treated water cannot attack the concrete.
- Podium Waterproofing in Khar
Podium waterproofing protects a landscaped or trafficked deck sitting above occupied space — typically parking, a clubhouse or retail.
- Lift Pit Waterproofing in Khar
Lift pit waterproofing seals the lowest point of a building's shaft, which sits below the water table in most of Mumbai and collects anything that runs down the shaft.
- External Plaster & Painting in Khar
External plaster and painting is the building's first line of defence against driving rain.
- Building Restoration in Khar
Building restoration is the structural rehabilitation of an ageing or distressed building — diagnosing why the concrete is failing, repairing it properly, and protecting it so it does not fail again.
Waterproofing in Khar — questions we get asked
How quickly can you reach Khar?
Our office is in Jogeshwari West, about 8 km from Khar, and we normally allow around 22 minutes in off-peak traffic. We also work regularly in Bandra West, Santacruz, Bandra East, so a crew is often already in this part of the city.
Why do buildings in Khar leak more than elsewhere?
Khar records roughly 2,500 mm of rain a year, measured at the IMD Santacruz observatory, suburbs. Combined with low-rise residential societies and bungalows and villas in the 20-70 years range, the recurring problems here are terrace waterproofing past service life on 1970s-80s societies and villa terrace and balcony leakage. It is less that Khar leaks more, and more that it leaks in a particular and fairly predictable way.
Which BMC ward is Khar in, and does that matter?
Khar falls under H/West Ward (H/West), covering pincodes 400052. It matters practically rather than technically: ward boundaries govern which office handles permissions, notices and any municipal correspondence a society may need during major repair work.
Khar is not on the coast — is waterproofing less critical here?
No, the failure mode simply differs. Without direct salt exposure, chloride-driven corrosion is slower, but Khar still takes about 2,500 mm of rain annually. The dominant problems here are terrace waterproofing past service life on 1970s-80s societies and villa terrace and balcony leakage, which are just as capable of ruining a top-floor flat.
