Professional Lift Shaft Waterproofing

Reliable Lift Shaft Waterproofing Kenya for Commercial Buildings

Water leaks in lift shafts are a serious problem. They can damage elevator machinery, cause electrical shorts, and lead to expensive repairs. That is why professional lift shaft waterproofing Kenya is essential for any commercial building, mall, or development project. At Phemat Solutions Ltd, we provide expert solutions that keep your lift pit dry and safe.

Our team has extensive experience with elevator pit waterproofing in Nairobi and across the country. We understand the unique challenges of the Kenyan climate, from heavy rains to high water tables. Whether you are dealing with a new construction or an existing leak, we have the right approach.

Why Choose Our Lift Pit Waterproofing Nairobi Services?

We use only the best materials and techniques. Our primary method involves applying a flexible polyurethane membrane that can stretch and move with the building. This membrane creates a seamless, waterproof barrier that lasts for years. For areas with constant water pressure, we also use crystalline cementitious coatings that react with water to form crystals inside the concrete, blocking any pathways for moisture.

Our lift shaft water leakage solution is designed to address both active leaks and prevent future problems. We start with a thorough inspection to identify all entry points. Then we prepare the surface by cleaning and repairing any cracks. Finally, we apply the waterproofing system, ensuring all corners, joints, and pipe penetrations are properly sealed.

Waterproofing for Lift Shaft in Kenya: Our Process

Step 1: Inspection and Assessment – We examine the lift pit for cracks, damp spots, and structural issues. We also check the water table level and drainage around the building.

Step 2: Surface Preparation – We clean the concrete surface thoroughly, removing any oil, dirt, or loose material. Cracks are repaired with epoxy or cementitious mortar.

Step 3: Application of Waterproofing Membrane – We apply a liquid polyurethane membrane or a cementitious crystalline coating, depending on the site conditions. The material is applied in multiple coats to ensure full coverage.

Step 4: Sealing Joints and Penetrations – All expansion joints, pipe entries, and construction joints are sealed with flexible sealants and waterstops.

Step 5: Curing and Testing – The system is allowed to cure, then we perform a water test to confirm it is watertight.
