Basement Waterproofing in Mumbai

Water seeping through the walls or floor after rain, white salt deposits, or a musty smell? We stop active leaks, seal the joints and treat the concrete from the inside, so the space stays dry under water pressure.

Suitable for
Basements, podium parking, lift pits and plant rooms

Underground car park with damp patches and puddles of water on the concrete floor

Signs you need it

  • Water seeping through walls or the floor after rain
  • Damp patches and peeling paint low on the walls
  • White, powdery salt deposits (efflorescence)
  • Water at the joint between the wall and the floor
  • A musty smell, mould or condensation
  • Rust stains or crumbling concrete

Why it happens

1.Groundwater pressure
When the soil around a basement is saturated, water is pushed through any weakness in the concrete.
2.No outside waterproofing
Many basements were built without an external membrane, or it has failed and can't be reached.
3.Construction joints and tie holes
Joints between concrete pours, form-tie holes and honeycombed concrete give water an easy path in.
4.Cracks and pipe entries
Shrinkage cracks and unsealed service entries let water through under pressure.

How we fix it

In an existing building the outside of the basement usually can't be reached, so we treat it from the inside with systems designed to resist water pushing from behind (negative-side waterproofing).

  • Injection grouting

    Polyurethane or resin injected through packers into leaking cracks and joints, filling the path the water was using.

    Best forActive leaks through cracks and construction joints

  • Crystalline waterproofing

    A cementitious treatment whose chemicals react with moisture to grow crystals inside the concrete's pores and hairline cracks.

    Best forDamp concrete walls and floors under water pressure

  • Negative-side cementitious coating

    A polymer-modified cement coating rated for water pressure from behind, applied after repairs.

    Best forMasonry and concrete walls that need a robust inner barrier

  • Drainage and sump

    Internal drainage channels leading to a sump pump, for basements under constant high water pressure.

    Best forVery wet sites where pressure can't be fully held back

What you get

  • Dry, usable spaceStorage, parking, a gym or a plant room you can actually use.
  • A protected structureKeeping water out of the concrete slows corrosion of the reinforcement.
  • Healthier airLess damp means less mould and musty smell drifting through the building.
  • Safer equipmentPumps, panels and stored goods stay out of standing water.

Our process

What happens, in order, from the inspection to the handover.

  1. 1

    Leak mapping

    We locate active leaks, damp areas, joints and pipe entries, and take readings.

  2. 2

    Stop active water

    Injection packers and fast-setting plugs stop running water first.

  3. 3

    Surface preparation

    Paint and weak plaster removed back to sound concrete.

  4. 4

    Treatment

    Crystalline or cementitious system applied, with joints and pipe entries detailed.

  5. 5

    Finish and protect

    Coving at the wall-floor joint and a protective finish where needed.

  6. 6

    Monitor and hand over

    We check the treated areas after heavy rain where possible, then hand over.

Suitable for

  • Basements in residential towers
  • Basement and podium car parks
  • Lift pits
  • Plant and pump rooms
  • Retaining walls
  • Underground stores and archives

What affects the cost

We don't publish one-size prices because the cause decides the treatment. These are the things that move the price.

  • How much water is coming in, and under what pressure
  • Area of walls and floor to treat
  • Number and length of cracks and joints to inject
  • Finishes to remove and restore
  • Whether drainage or a sump is needed

Basement FAQs

Can a basement be waterproofed from the inside?

Yes. Negative-side systems such as crystalline treatments, pressure-rated coatings and injection grouting are designed to work with water pushing from behind. They're the standard approach for existing buildings.

Will my basement be completely dry?

In most cases, yes. On very wet sites we may combine treatment with drainage and a sump. We'll tell you what's realistic for your basement before you commit.

Water is coming in right now. Can you still treat it?

Yes. Injection grouting works on actively leaking cracks, and fast-setting plugs stop running water so the rest of the treatment can go ahead.

Do you treat lift pits?

Yes. Lift pits are a common source of standing water. We stop the inflow and treat the pit so the equipment stays dry.
