Hi need your advice.
My contractor use kind of waterproof material that can mix with cement... then paint on top of floor tile. For the wall tile, it's only up to 1-2 feets. I don know the method he use is durable or not as I saw alot of method to do waterproofing in internet. My contractor said it's standard and it has no problem, but i still worry....

My question is.
1. Is the method durable?
2. How tall need to apply waterproofing in wall tiles?
3. Do we need to apply another materials onto wall edge and hole?

Really need your advice.

it call cementitious

I saw the contractor apply very thin the cement only on floor... That's why i worry.... could you advice me??
And he not really care about the join... just thin cement kau tim everything...

I uses Bitumas Products and No regret for My 3 hses Roofing.Bathroom leaking. I applied bathrooms all walls Max Height to prevent any water able to leak to the wall on the other side. i even Extend to water proof the ground floor tiling/porch Kena before Porch no water proofing ....cement joint/grout joint bulge out. i Also recommend water proof the both wall left and right in case neighbour Pipe Leaking into our wall. I Just get fed up previously Hses leaking here and there and ruined my Wall/Paint

Yes. Do you have idea how to test waterproof to ensure the waterproof is able to work accordingly?
Please help... I have verya big concern as Im staying in condo. I rather suffer at the first time instead of having trouble in future.

No actual specification to check waterproof is able work accordingly. Pls get Bitumas advise. You can go Bitumas in Bandar Puteri Puchong. They are waterproofing specialised. whole shop sell water proofing items only

So, this Bitumas is a shop, or a manufacturer brand, or a waterproofing contractor? How about Pentens, Sika and PYE?

It A shop and manufacturer brand, Sika is a reliable also. PYE and Pantens normal grade only

Can check with ponding test. 48 hours.

Atlas Coat.

At shower area 1.8m high waterproofing at wall is recommended. Or else just skirting will do.

My contractor did a 5 feet waterproofing for my bathroom's wall...coz water can be sipping thru wall when we shower..

Sharing.. torch on membrane/ water proofing.

At bathroom, cementitious will do. Don't need torch on membrane.

Cementious not suitable for expose..

you mean cementitious can only be used after removing the existing tiles right?
any recommended method which do not need to remove tiles?

Where you wan to apply?
Membrane suitable for expose.
Liquid coating also suitable for it.

is my toilet floor leak to downstairs. I suspect is the joint between wall and floor.
liquid coating means i can buy some liquid chemical to apply on it?
i plan to apply some thing call PYE KREK-SEAL
