Waterproofing solution for toilets and bathrooms

Does water from your second-storey bathroom leak through your ceiling below?

Toilets and bathrooms are all about constant use of water. It’s where you take showers, soak in the bathtub, and do your rituals any time of the day. This explains why homeowners are advised to have waterproofing done in this area right at the start of construction. Doing so will help prevent water leakage and staining through the years and spare from costly repairs.

Fortunately, homeowners have an ally in Jardine Distribution Inc.’s (JDI) Super Thoroseal, a cementitious type of waterproofing solution that comes in powder form. 0

The product works through its crystallization process. It fills in the voids and gaps inside the concrete so that water cannot penetrate, thereby providing long-term waterproofing protection. It penetrates into and becomes part of the cement structure, allowing it to withstand water pressure.

Because it is in cementitious form, it does not peel or wash off easily and will not require back jobs when used as directed. Mixed with clean water to a slurry consistency, the product can be applied easily with a stiff hand brush, broom, or spray equipment.

Just clean the surface of dust and other particles before application. Next, add 1.5 liters of water for every can, then shake the can well. Apply two coats on the surface. The first coat should be applied horizontally. After eight hours, immerse the concrete in water before applying the second coat, this time vertically.
