Working on waterproofing in Worli
Worli runs from old mill-area chawls to sea-facing high-rises, so the scope varies enormously. In the sea-facing towers, salt exposure and wind load dominate — external sealant joints and window junctions need attention more often than owners expect. High-rise work also means stricter material movement rules and service-lift booking, which we factor into the schedule.
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 Worli 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.
