Exterior Wall Waterproofing Solutions For New Construction

What is external wall waterproofing?

External Wall Waterproofing for New Home/Construction

External wall waterproofing safeguards a new house, preventing water infiltration into the foundation or walls. The process involves coating walls with high-quality materials and a waterproofing expert's help. External wall waterproofing shields your home from long-term water seepage, leakage, and related damage.

Causes of exterior wall damage

Causes of Exterior Wall Damage & Water Seepage

Damages due to inadequate roof/terrace waterproofing


  • Prolonged sun exposure causes exterior walls to fade, crack, and deteriorate due to UV radiation and heat
  • Heavy rain leads to water infiltration through cracks or gaps in walls
  • High humidity promotes condensation, mould growth, and degradation of paint and coatings
  • Accumulated snow and ice exert pressure on walls, potentially causing damage
  • Improper curing and not following suggested guidelines when using materials like M-sand and quick-setting cement can cause poor-quality plastering on external walls, leading to cracks, leakages, and instability

Painting your new house? Why you need a coating

Painting vs Coating

Waterproofing your external walls during construction ensures long-term effects.


External waterproofing includes the application of both paint and waterproof coating. While paint elevates your home’s beauty and aids in protection, waterproofing ensures a home’s longevity and durability. The Raincoat range from Dr. Fixit acts as a two-in-one solution, providing the benefits of both – coating and paint. It truly works as a ‘raincoat’ for your house, protecting it from water-related damage and adding to the aesthetic.


The Dr. Fixit Raincoat range ensures protection and quality waterproofing as it is composed of high-quality acrylic emulsion polymer with properly selected and graded fine fillers. It is UV-resistant and made of well-selected and graded fine fillers, additives, and weather-durable pigments that help the walls withstand harsh conditions.
