Working on waterproofing in Lower Parel
Lower Parel is dense redevelopment — tall towers on former mill land, with a high proportion of recent construction. Most of our work here is interiors in newer flats and commercial fit-out. Tower rules are generally strict: fixed working hours, booked service lifts, and debris removal only at set times. We confirm all of it in writing before quoting because it affects the schedule materially.
We trace the source before specifying anything — flood test, dye test or moisture mapping depending on the situation. Where the existing system can be saved, we say so and quote an overlay. Where decades of layered patch repairs have trapped moisture against the slab, we strip back to sound concrete, cut and fill live cracks, form 75 mm fillet coving at every vertical junction, and build a full system with the membrane carried 300 mm up the parapet into a chased groove. Every terrace is ponding tested for 48 to 72 hours before handover.
Specification for Lower Parel projects
An overlay is often the honest answer
If your existing system is sound and the failure is confined to junctions and outlets, stripping the whole terrace is a waste of your money. An overlay with proper coving at the junctions will hold. The survey establishes which situation you are in — and if water is trapped under the existing build-up, we will tell you that patching it will not last, because it will not.
