Waterproofing Services on OMR, Chennai

Why OMR buildings take in water

Much of the land along OMR, around Perungudi, Thoraipakkam and Sholinganallur, is low-lying and sits close to the Pallikaranai marshland. Groundwater is high, and it rises further during the north-east monsoon. Buildings here often have basements, lift pits and underground sumps that sit in or near that water.

Water under pressure from outside finds the weak points: construction joints, cracks, pipe entries and the joint between the floor slab and the walls. On top of the building, large flat terraces take the full force of monsoon rain.

Services for apartments, villas and offices on OMR

The work we do on OMR covers the same range as the rest of Chennai:

• Terrace waterproofing and treatment of top-floor ceiling leaks
• Basement and podium slab waterproofing
• Lift pit and sump waterproofing, including injection grouting of active leaks
• Bathroom leakage repair and epoxy grouting
• Wall seepage and leakage repair

For associations and facility managers

In apartment complexes, a leak in one flat often starts in a common area: the terrace, a shaft, the basement or a lift pit. Send us photos of the affected areas and the location in the building. After the inspection we explain the cause and the recommended repair in writing so the association can review it.

Lift pit work needs the lift isolated by your lift maintenance company, so we coordinate timing with you.
