What we find on Guntur terraces
Much of Guntur sits on black cotton soil, which swells when it is wet and shrinks when it dries. Buildings move with it, and that movement shows up as cracks at the plinth, along wall corners and at the junction between the terrace and the parapet. Coating the terrace alone does not fix a building that is moving. The cracks have to be cut open and filled with something that can take the movement before anything goes on top.
What we are usually called for in Guntur
- Crack treatment and terrace waterproofing together, because here one without the other does not last.
- Large godown roofs, where the sheeting joints and the parapet junction are usually the problem, not the middle of the roof.
- Wall dampness on the shaded side of houses built close to the neighbour's wall.

How the work is done
- Step 01
Surface preparation
We grind off the loose, flaking top layer with wire cup wheels, so the new work sticks to strong concrete.
- Step 02
Pressure grouting
If a crack goes through the slab, we pump cement grout into it from the top or from below, until the full depth is filled.
- Step 03
Chipping and repacking
Loose and hollow patches are chipped out and filled again with polymer-mixed mortar, finished level with the slab.
- Step 04
Crack treatment
Surface cracks are cut into a V-groove, filled with epoxy and, after drying, sealed with a flexible PU sealant.
- Step 05
Coving
The joint between the terrace and every parapet wall is packed into a rounded fillet, so water does not stay in the corner.
- Step 06
Two-coat application
Two polymer-cement coats – the first brushed one way, the second across it after drying. Then a protective top coat in the colour you choose.
