Waterproofing in Mankhurd, Mumbai
Atlanta Waterproofing & Protective System provides waterproofing and building restoration across Mankhurd (M/East Ward, pincodes 400043). The locality records around 2,500 mm of rain annually and is dominated by rehabilitation and government housing and creek-adjacent low-lying development in the 10-40 years range. We are roughly 50 minutes away.
What makes Mankhurd different
Creek-adjacent, low-lying and saline. Both the flooding risk and the aggressive groundwater push specification toward robust below-grade systems and away from minimum-cost surface treatments.
The building stock here is principally rehabilitation and government housing, creek-adjacent low-lying development, industrial stock, mostly in the 10-40 years band. The failure patterns that follow from that are creek-adjacent saline high water table, low-lying flooding, rehab building terrace and drainage defects.
We work throughout the area, including around Mankhurd station, Thane creek, Vashi bridge approach.
What we do in Mankhurd
- Terrace Waterproofing in Mankhurd
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 Mankhurd
Basement waterproofing protects a below-grade structure against groundwater under hydrostatic pressure.
- Bathroom Waterproofing in Mankhurd
Bathroom waterproofing seals the sunk slab and wet-area walls so water from daily use cannot reach the flat below.
- Toilet Waterproofing in Mankhurd
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 Mankhurd
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 Mankhurd
China mosaic is a finish of broken glazed ceramic tile pieces set in waterproofed cement mortar over a terrace.
- APP Membrane Waterproofing in Mankhurd
APP membrane is an atactic-polypropylene-modified bitumen sheet, torch-applied to a primed substrate with lapped and sealed joints.
- SBS Membrane Waterproofing in Mankhurd
SBS membrane is a styrene-butadiene-styrene-modified bitumen sheet.
- HDPE Membrane Waterproofing in Mankhurd
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 Mankhurd
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 Mankhurd
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 Mankhurd
PU grouting injects polyurethane resin under pressure into a leaking crack or joint.
- Injection Grouting in Mankhurd
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 Mankhurd
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 Mankhurd
Underground tank waterproofing must resist water in both directions — the stored water pushing out, and groundwater pushing in.
- Swimming Pool Waterproofing in Mankhurd
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 Mankhurd
Podium waterproofing protects a landscaped or trafficked deck sitting above occupied space — typically parking, a clubhouse or retail.
- Lift Pit Waterproofing in Mankhurd
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 Mankhurd
External plaster and painting is the building's first line of defence against driving rain.
- Building Restoration in Mankhurd
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 Mankhurd — questions we get asked
How quickly can you reach Mankhurd?
Our office is in Jogeshwari West, about 13 km from Mankhurd, and we normally allow around 50 minutes in off-peak traffic. We also work regularly in Govandi, Chembur, Ghatkopar, so a crew is often already in this part of the city.
Why do buildings in Mankhurd leak more than elsewhere?
Mankhurd records roughly 2,500 mm of rain a year, measured at the IMD Santacruz observatory, suburbs. Combined with rehabilitation and government housing and creek-adjacent low-lying development in the 10-40 years range, the recurring problems here are creek-adjacent saline high water table and low-lying flooding. It is less that Mankhurd leaks more, and more that it leaks in a particular and fairly predictable way.
Which BMC ward is Mankhurd in, and does that matter?
Mankhurd falls under M/East Ward (M/East), covering pincodes 400043. 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.
Does being close to the sea change what Mankhurd needs?
Substantially. Chloride from coastal air penetrates render and cover concrete and drives reinforcement corrosion far faster than inland. Two things follow: repair specifications must remove chloride-contaminated concrete rather than patch over it, and protective coatings should resist water ingress while still allowing the wall to dry outward. Sealing a salt-laden wall with an impermeable coating traps the problem inside.
Is Mankhurd 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.
