Terrace Waterproofing for Monsoon: DIY Guide

Monsoon is a happy time—cool weather, fresh air and rain. But if your terrace is not waterproof or rain can cause leaks and damage in home. Water can come inside your rooms, ruin the paint and make the walls wet or smelly.

Don’t worry! You can stop this by doing terrace waterproofing before the rains. This blog will show you how to do it step-by-step using simple tools and materials.

Why Waterproofing is Important

Terrace is always open to sun, rain, and dust. In monsoon, water can stay on the surface. If water enters through cracks, it causes:

• Leaks in your ceiling
• Peeling paint on walls
• Bad smell and fungus
• Weak building structure

So, waterproofing helps to protect your home from water and damage.

What Causes Leaks on the Terrace?

Here are some simple reasons why your terrace may leak:

• Small cracks in the floor
• No proper slope for water to go out
• Old or broken waterproof layer
• Open gaps near pipes or drains

What Things You Need

To waterproof the terrace, you need the right products. Here is the list:

• LX-7 S1 – Main waterproof coating
• TC-1 – Waterproof sheet (extra safety)
• GLITTER Epoxy Grout – For filling gaps & cracks
• ST9-1400 – Makes coating stick better
• STll-850 Mixer – For smooth mixing
• Brush, roller, bucket, gloves

Simple Waterproofing Steps

Follow these easy steps to make your terrace safe from rain:

Clean the full surface with a wire brush. Remove dust, old paint, or grass. Let it dry.

If you see cracks, use KE-100 GLITTER Epoxy Grout to fill them. Apply with a spatula and let it dry well.

Use ST9-400 on the clean surface. This helps the next coating to stick better. Use brush and let it dry for 6–8 hours.

• Make sure to:
• Fill all cracks
• Clean corners and edges
• Wear gloves for safety

Mix LX-7 S1 with water in a bucket. Use STll-850 Mixer to make it smooth and ready to use.

Use a brush or roller to apply the first coat of LX-7 S1. Cover the full surface and wait 6–8 hours.

Now apply the second coat in the opposite direction. This makes it stronger. Let it dry fully.

For extra safety, you can use TC-1 waterproof sheet. Put it on the second coat when it’s still wet. Press gently.

After finishing, leave the terrace to dry for 48 hours. Don’t walk or place anything on it.
