Waterproofing in Malad, Mumbai
Atlanta Waterproofing & Protective System provides waterproofing and building restoration across Malad (P/North Ward, pincodes 400064, 400095, 400097). The locality records around 2,500 mm of rain annually and is dominated by IT parks and commercial towers and residential societies in the 10-45 years range. We are roughly 20 minutes away.
What makes Malad different
Low-lying creek-adjacent pockets flood during high tide coinciding with heavy rain. Basement design here has to assume standing water, not just seepage — which rules out several otherwise reasonable systems.
The building stock here is principally IT parks and commercial towers, residential societies, creek-adjacent low-lying development, mostly in the 10-45 years band. The failure patterns that follow from that are high water table and flooding near malad creek, basement parking flooding in low-lying pockets, it park podium and plaza leakage.
We work throughout the area, including around Mindspace Malad, Infiniti Mall, Malad creek, Aksa Beach.
What we do in Malad
- Terrace Waterproofing in Malad
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 Malad
Basement waterproofing protects a below-grade structure against groundwater under hydrostatic pressure.
- Bathroom Waterproofing in Malad
Bathroom waterproofing seals the sunk slab and wet-area walls so water from daily use cannot reach the flat below.
- Toilet Waterproofing in Malad
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 Malad
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 Malad
China mosaic is a finish of broken glazed ceramic tile pieces set in waterproofed cement mortar over a terrace.
- APP Membrane Waterproofing in Malad
APP membrane is an atactic-polypropylene-modified bitumen sheet, torch-applied to a primed substrate with lapped and sealed joints.
- SBS Membrane Waterproofing in Malad
SBS membrane is a styrene-butadiene-styrene-modified bitumen sheet.
- HDPE Membrane Waterproofing in Malad
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 Malad
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 Malad
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 Malad
PU grouting injects polyurethane resin under pressure into a leaking crack or joint.
- Injection Grouting in Malad
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 Malad
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 Malad
Underground tank waterproofing must resist water in both directions — the stored water pushing out, and groundwater pushing in.
- Swimming Pool Waterproofing in Malad
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 Malad
Podium waterproofing protects a landscaped or trafficked deck sitting above occupied space — typically parking, a clubhouse or retail.
- Lift Pit Waterproofing in Malad
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 Malad
External plaster and painting is the building's first line of defence against driving rain.
- Building Restoration in Malad
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 Malad — questions we get asked
How quickly can you reach Malad?
Our office is in Jogeshwari West, about 6 km from Malad, and we normally allow around 20 minutes in off-peak traffic. We also work regularly in Kandivali, Goregaon, Borivali, so a crew is often already in this part of the city.
Why do buildings in Malad leak more than elsewhere?
Malad records roughly 2,500 mm of rain a year, measured at the IMD Santacruz observatory, suburbs. Combined with IT parks and commercial towers and residential societies in the 10-45 years range, the recurring problems here are high water table and flooding near malad creek and basement parking flooding in low-lying pockets. It is less that Malad leaks more, and more that it leaks in a particular and fairly predictable way.
Which BMC ward is Malad in, and does that matter?
Malad falls under P/North Ward (P/North), covering pincodes 400064, 400095, 400097. 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.
Does being close to the sea change what Malad needs?
Substantially. Chloride from coastal air penetrates render and cover concrete and drives reinforcement corrosion far faster than inland. Two things follow: repair specifications must remove chloride-contaminated concrete rather than patch over it, and protective coatings should resist water ingress while still allowing the wall to dry outward. Sealing a salt-laden wall with an impermeable coating traps the problem inside.
Is Malad on reclaimed land, and what does that mean for a basement?
Yes, substantially. Reclaimed ground retains water, continues to settle for decades, and puts a sustained hydrostatic head against below-grade structures. In practice that means a basement here needs a continuous wrapped barrier and water stops at every construction joint, plus working sump and dewatering provision. An internally applied coating on its own is being asked to hold back pressure from the wrong side.
