When Is Waterproofing Necessary?
If you notice paint peeling, bubbling, or cracks on your walls, this is a sure sign 
that you need waterproofing. Waterproofing coating is best done during the 
construction process. However, some amount of maintenance will be required 
over the years. Specifically designed impermeable coatings and cement backer 
boards are available for use during building repair and renovation. The sooner 
you get waterproofing done, the better because it ensures less damage to the 
walls and lowers the costs associated with problem resolution. You can always 
consult a waterproofing guide to learn more about signs that your home requires

Waterproofing Procedures
Waterproofing is essential for keeping your 
home dry and sanitary. It aids in the reduction 
of humidity and the prevention of seepage 
damage.
5
Determine the Problem Areas
The first step is to locate any problem areas or walls that are constantly exposed 
to rainwater. This can be challenging and time-consuming. It's best to leave this to 
our experts, who will conduct an on-site inspection using tools like the Home 
Shield Moisture Meter to determine the root cause of leakage and moisture. The 
meter detects trapped moisture in ceilings, walls, and floors, regardless of 
whether the dampness is caused by rain, a leaking roof, or underground seepage. 
Professionals will recommend scientific wall and roof waterproofing solutions 
based on the extent of damage and the type of problem. Concrete coatings or 
silicate-based concrete sealers for unpainted walls, as well as wall membrane 
treatments such as primers, are commonly used waterproof solutions.

Determine the Source of the Dampness
Many times, seepage is caused by faulty pipes or cracks in the exterior facing 
walls rather than rain. As a result, pinpointing the source of the moisture is critical. 
A leaking pipe must be replaced or repaired, and cracks in the walls must be filled 
in with high-quality fillers and putty to prevent the problem from recurring. If the 
dampness is caused by a problem with your roof's waterproofing, products like 
Organix building system can help. This is a non-toxic waterproofing compound 
that will protect the roof by forming an elastic, UV-resistant membrane on the 
cement surface. This coating is also useful for exterior walls. It should be used 
prior to painting the walls.

Prepare the Waterproofing Surfaces
Any surface that requires waterproofing must 
first be prepared. This includes repairing the 
source of the leak or seepage and sanding 
rough and uneven patches for a smooth finish. 
Another critical step is to clean the area to be 
waterproofed. This ensures that the 
waterproofing solutions adhere to the surface 
and provide maximum protection.
8
Use of the Waterproofing Solution
The following critical step is to apply the waterproofing paint with a roller, brush, 
or spray. Berger Paints' experienced team can advise you on the best products to 
use and the number of coats needed to protect the surfaces from moisture. All of

Flooring Waterproofing
While cracks and dampness on the walls and ceilings alert us to the need for 
waterproofing, we frequently overlook the floors. Moisture accumulation is difficult 
to see with tiles, marble, and other types of flooring. An inspection by experienced 
professionals is the most effective way to detect any underlying problems. The 
Berger team is skilled at working with a wide range of substrates and flooring. To 
install marble and natural stone floors, as well as vitrified and non-vitrified tiles, 
we use high-quality adhesives. Internal wet areas of your home, such as 
bathrooms and swimming pools, can also be serviced by scientific tiling solutions. 
Exterior walls with stone façades will also be inspected and, if necessary, 
corrected.

Basement Waterproofing
Basements are the most common problem areas 
because they accumulate standing water, allowing 
mould and mildew to grow. As a result, in addition to the 
bathroom, water tanks, and other damp-prone areas, 
the basement requires special attention. Berger Home 
shield Dampstop, for example, is specially designed to 
provide a strong and flexible waterproof coating. It is 
made of high-performance polymer and includes special 
additives that work through Crystallin technology to 
provide the highest level of protection.
