Waterproofing in Kurla, Mumbai
Atlanta Waterproofing & Protective System provides waterproofing and building restoration across Kurla (L Ward, pincodes 400070, 400024). The locality records around 2,500 mm of rain annually and is dominated by industrial estates and workshops and dense informal and chawl stock in the 15-70 years range. We are roughly 30 minutes away.
What makes Kurla different
The Mithi river floods severely here in heavy monsoon — this was among the worst-affected areas in the 2005 Mumbai floods. Flood-line awareness genuinely changes what should be specified at ground and basement level.
The building stock here is principally industrial estates and workshops, dense informal and chawl stock, BKC-adjacent commercial, redevelopment projects, mostly in the 15-70 years band. The failure patterns that follow from that are mithi river flooding in low-lying areas, industrial shed and workshop roof leakage, dense old stock with failed terraces and drainage.
We work throughout the area, including around Kurla station, Phoenix Marketcity, Mithi river, BKC boundary.
What we do in Kurla
- Terrace Waterproofing in Kurla
Terrace waterproofing is the application of a continuous water barrier across a roof slab, laid to a fall so rainwater drains rather than ponds.
- Basement Waterproofing in Kurla
Basement waterproofing protects a below-grade structure against groundwater under hydrostatic pressure.
- Bathroom Waterproofing in Kurla
Bathroom waterproofing seals the sunk slab and wet-area walls so water from daily use cannot reach the flat below.
- Toilet Waterproofing in Kurla
Toilet waterproofing seals the sunken slab, wall skirting and pipe penetrations of a WC area so water cannot migrate into the structure or the flat below.
- Brick Bat Coba Waterproofing in Kurla
Brick bat coba is the traditional Indian terrace system: broken brick pieces bedded in waterproofed cement mortar, laid to a fall and finished with china mosaic or IPS.
- China Mosaic Waterproofing in Kurla
China mosaic is a finish of broken glazed ceramic tile pieces set in waterproofed cement mortar over a terrace.
- APP Membrane Waterproofing in Kurla
APP membrane is an atactic-polypropylene-modified bitumen sheet, torch-applied to a primed substrate with lapped and sealed joints.
- SBS Membrane Waterproofing in Kurla
SBS membrane is a styrene-butadiene-styrene-modified bitumen sheet.
- HDPE Membrane Waterproofing in Kurla
HDPE membrane waterproofing uses a high-density polyethylene sheet, generally pre-applied below rafts and against retaining walls before concrete is poured.
- TPO Membrane Waterproofing in Kurla
TPO is a single-ply thermoplastic polyolefin membrane whose seams are hot-air welded rather than glued, producing a homogeneous joint as strong as the sheet.
- Polyurea Waterproofing in Kurla
Polyurea is a spray-applied, fast-setting elastomeric coating that gels within seconds and forms a seamless, high-elongation, highly abrasion-resistant membrane.
- PU Grouting in Kurla
PU grouting injects polyurethane resin under pressure into a leaking crack or joint.
- Injection Grouting in Kurla
Injection grouting forces a cementitious or epoxy grout under pressure into cracks, voids and honeycombed concrete to restore continuity and block water paths.
- Overhead Water Tank (OHWT) Waterproofing in Kurla
Overhead water tank waterproofing lines the internal faces of an elevated potable-water tank with a non-toxic, water-resistant system, and treats the external faces and base where leakage tracks into the structure below.
- Underground Water Tank (UGT) Waterproofing in Kurla
Underground tank waterproofing must resist water in both directions — the stored water pushing out, and groundwater pushing in.
- Swimming Pool Waterproofing in Kurla
Swimming pool waterproofing lines the pool shell so treated water cannot escape into the structure and so chemically treated water cannot attack the concrete.
- Podium Waterproofing in Kurla
Podium waterproofing protects a landscaped or trafficked deck sitting above occupied space — typically parking, a clubhouse or retail.
- Lift Pit Waterproofing in Kurla
Lift pit waterproofing seals the lowest point of a building's shaft, which sits below the water table in most of Mumbai and collects anything that runs down the shaft.
- External Plaster & Painting in Kurla
External plaster and painting is the building's first line of defence against driving rain.
- Building Restoration in Kurla
Building restoration is the structural rehabilitation of an ageing or distressed building — diagnosing why the concrete is failing, repairing it properly, and protecting it so it does not fail again.
Waterproofing in Kurla — questions we get asked
How quickly can you reach Kurla?
Our office is in Jogeshwari West, about 8 km from Kurla, and we normally allow around 30 minutes in off-peak traffic. We also work regularly in Chembur, Bandra East, Sion, so a crew is often already in this part of the city.
Why do buildings in Kurla leak more than elsewhere?
Kurla records roughly 2,500 mm of rain a year, measured at the IMD Santacruz observatory, suburbs. Combined with industrial estates and workshops and dense informal and chawl stock in the 15-70 years range, the recurring problems here are mithi river flooding in low-lying areas and industrial shed and workshop roof leakage. It is less that Kurla leaks more, and more that it leaks in a particular and fairly predictable way.
Which BMC ward is Kurla in, and does that matter?
Kurla falls under L Ward (L), covering pincodes 400070, 400024. It matters practically rather than technically: ward boundaries govern which office handles permissions, notices and any municipal correspondence a society may need during major repair work.
Kurla is not on the coast — is waterproofing less critical here?
No, the failure mode simply differs. Without direct salt exposure, chloride-driven corrosion is slower, but Kurla still takes about 2,500 mm of rain annually. The dominant problems here are mithi river flooding in low-lying areas and industrial shed and workshop roof leakage, which are just as capable of ruining a top-floor flat.
Is Kurla on reclaimed land, and what does that mean for a basement?
Yes, substantially. Reclaimed ground retains water, continues to settle for decades, and puts a sustained hydrostatic head against below-grade structures. In practice that means a basement here needs a continuous wrapped barrier and water stops at every construction joint, plus working sump and dewatering provision. An internally applied coating on its own is being asked to hold back pressure from the wrong side.
