Waterproofing is a process that is designed to prevent water from penetrating a structure. Typically
waterproofing is done in various layers and stages to create multiple barriers so that water cannot penetrate
the structure. A combination of such stages is referred to as creating a “Building Envelope”.
However, often not enough importance is given to this very crucial area while constructing new structures.
Over reliance on conventional and outdated systems, low awareness about modern waterproofing systems
and lack of trained expertise for application are some of the reasons for the same. Here’s where Dr. Fixit
can help you to get the best waterproofing solutions for your new constructions. Dr. Fixit is India’s leading
brand in Waterproofing with a wide variety of products and solutions to meet all your waterproofing needs
- from foundations to walls to roofs. With access to the latest global technologies through its international
subsidiaries and R&D centres,
Dr. Fixit constantly brings innovative waterproofing solutions. Dr. Fixit also offers full technical support with
large pool of trained applicators.
Call us now to benefit from our state-of-the-art waterproofing systems for your new constructions.
Water retaining structures such as swimming pools, water tanks and also
other wet areas like kitchens and bathrooms are the biggest source of
leakages in constructions.
Dr. Fixit provides specialised waterproofing systems with a combination
of elements that are required to achieve a waterproof barrier. These
systems provide excellent resistance to hydrostatic water pressure
ensuring leak free structures for years.

inserts shall be wrapped around with Dr. Fixit Bathseal Tape to ensure a watertight fitting.
APPLICATION ON RAFT SLAB
1. Spray on Dr. Fixit Extensa up to the top and cover the overflow concrete
channels all around the periphery of the pool to achieve a minimum thickness of
2.0 mm
2. Place a geotextile fabric of 150 gsm over the membrane before laying the steel
cage.
3. As per the plans drawn up by the structural engineer, lay the steel cage
accordingly.

condition and embed a glass fibre mesh of 50 gsm immediately.
9. After the 2nd coat is completely dry apply a 3rd coat of Dr. Fixit Fastflex and
sprinkle coarse sand while it is still wet. This will provide the key for subsequent
tile adhesive materials.
