Exterior walls are constantly exposed to rain, moisture, heat, and pollution. Over time, this leads to cracks, damp patches, peeling paint, and severe seepage that travels inside the home. If left untreated, exterior wall damage can weaken your building’s structure and cause costly repairs.
This is why exterior wall waterproofing is crucial—especially in coastal cities like Chennai, where humidity and rainfall are high year-round. At Dr. Terrace Waterproofing, we use advanced waterproofing systems to protect your home from water damage, mold, and structural deterioration.
Why Do Exterior Walls Develop Seepage?
Even newly painted homes can develop seepage. Common reasons include:
✔ Micro Cracks in Walls
Small cracks allow rainwater to enter and spread through the wall.
✔ Poor-Quality Exterior Paint
Normal paint is not waterproof; it absorbs moisture during the monsoon.
✔ Damaged Plaster
Aged or weakened wall plaster loses its protective strength.
✔ Constant Sun & Rain Exposure
Weather changes cause expansion and contraction, leading to cracks.
✔ Faulty Drainage Systems
Improper downpipes or clogged gutters cause water to overflow and seep into walls.
Dr. Terrace Waterproofing identifies the exact reason for seepage before providing a long-lasting solution.
Our Exterior Wall Waterproofing Process
We follow a structured and professional approach to protect exterior walls:
1️⃣ Wall Inspection & Moisture Detection
Using advanced tools, we check dampness levels, plaster condition, and hidden seepage paths.
2️⃣ Crack Filling & Wall Restoration
Polymer-based sealants are used to fill all cracks and joints to prevent water entry.
3️⃣ Waterproof Primer Application
A high-bond primer strengthens the wall surface and improves coating adhesion.
4️⃣ Application of Waterproof Coatings
We use high-performance exterior coatings such as:
- Elastomeric Waterproof Coating
- Acrylic Polymer Coating
- Silicon-Based Water Repellent Coating
- UV-Resistant Shield Layer
These coatings are flexible, weatherproof, and long-lasting.
5️⃣ Finishing Coat
A final protective layer ensures durability and improves the appearance of your home.
