đź›— When Water Seeps In, Safety Sinks

A leaking lift shaft isn’t just a nuisance — it’s a serious structural threat. If you’ve ever noticed damp walls, rusting steel, or that musty underground smell near your building’s elevator, chances are your lift pit is absorbing water from below. Left untreated, this moisture corrodes metal reinforcements, compromises safety, and leads to costly repairs or operational shutdowns.

At Phemat Solutions Ltd, we understand the urgency of lift shaft waterproofing in Kenya. Whether you’re in a commercial tower in Upper Hill, a residential block in Westlands, or a new development in Kisumu, we provide tailored, long-lasting waterproofing solutions to keep your vertical transport system dry and secure — from the base up.

Why Lift Shaft Waterproofing Matters

đźš§ Hidden But Critical

Lift shafts are typically the deepest part of any building. That makes them especially vulnerable to groundwater pressure, rising damp, and capillary action. Without proper protection, moisture seeps through concrete, damaging both structure and electrical components.

⚠️ Risks of a Damp Lift Pit:

  • Corrosion of steel reinforcement and lift rails

  • Short-circuiting or breakdown of lift equipment

  • Mold and mildew growth

  • Building code violations

  • Costly shutdowns or lawsuits due to safety risks

Ideal for

  • Commercial buildings & office towers

  • Residential apartments & flats

  • Hotels & hospitals

  • Government buildings & institutions

  • High-rise developments in water-logged areas

Our Waterproofing Solutions for Lift Shafts

We don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all.” That’s why we inspect, analyze, and recommend the right system for your specific site conditions — whether your lift shaft is newly constructed or already leaking.

01.

Site Inspection & Leak Diagnosis

We begin with a detailed assessment of your lift shaft to identify water ingress points, structural defects, and overall moisture conditions.

02.

Crack Sealing & Surface Preparation

We clean the surface, seal cracks using PU or epoxy injection, and treat all joints or honeycombed areas for maximum durability.

03.

Waterproof Coating Application

A cementitious or crystalline waterproof coating is applied to create a watertight barrier against groundwater and damp — built to withstand time and pressure.
