How to Apply SmartCare Hydroloc Xtreme

Moisture is one of the greatest nightmares of any house owner. It causes paint peeling, mold growth, and major structural issues, leading to expensive repairs and health concerns.

Moisture damage can occur for various reasons, including leaky roofs, faulty plumbing, condensation, rainwater penetration, or flooding. To ensure whether your home is affected by moisture, get the Asian Paints TruCare Moisture Meter to check the moisture level on your home walls.

It is normal to stress over detecting high moisture levels in your haven. However, do not fret— we have got you covered! Waterproofing your walls can save them from major damage. Asian Paints SmartCare Hydroloc Xtreme can be your go-to waterproofing solution! Curious how? Let’s head right in!

How Does Asian Paints SmartCare Hydroloc Xtreme Help Your Walls?

Asian Paints SmartCare Hydroloc Xtreme is a high-performance waterproofing solution for walls. This protective care for your home helps fix walls with up to an alarming 90% moisture content.

 

This waterproofing paint protects your walls from moisture seepage and provides a 5-year warranty against dampness and efflorescence after application. And the best part is that it requires zero breakage or invasion!

 

What if there’s Bathroom Seepage even after Waterproofing?

Seepage from leaking pipes is common and can damage even healed walls. But don’t worry—Asian Paints also has a remedy to eliminate the risk of bathroom seepage afterwards!

 

Before you begin your waterproofing project, seal all the visible pipes in your bathroom and the gaps between them and the walls with Asian Paints SmartCare Xtremeoseal. This ensures added wall protection, so you get the most out of your moisture fixture.

 

Next, use Asian Paints SmartCare Crack seal for wall crack repair to give them a smooth, clean finish.

How to Apply Asian Paints SmartCare Hydroloc Xtreme?

After eliminating bathroom seepage issues, let’s proceed with the application process of the Asian Paints SmartCare Hydroloc Xtreme to protect your walls.

 

Step 1: Prepare the required surface

Preparing the surface is essential to making your waterproofing efforts worthwhile. First, identify the moisture-affected areas. Scrape off this old, moisture-damaged putty on the wall, from the skirting to the plaster.

Don’t limit the scraping to visibly damp areas. Continue scraping up to 1 foot around the perimeters of these areas. The reason?

Moisture spreads around the wall slowly and is not visible until it affects the topmost layers. Scraping further ensures you don’t leave any potential or hidden damp zones. It minimizes the risks of leaving some moisture-damaged putty on your home.

 

Step 2: Apply Asian Paints SmartCare Hydroloc Xtreme

Once you have removed moisture-damaged putty, prepare the waterproofing solution. Dilute the Asian Paints SmartCare Hydroloc Xtreme with 10% water. Add 100 ml of water to 1 liter of the product and mix thoroughly until you get a homogenous solution.

Apply 40–45 sq. ft. per liter of forced coverage to the scraped area using a brush or roller. This implies spreading 1 liter of the waterproofing solution over 40–45 square feet, ensuring optimal layer thickness and effective protection.

After this, let the waterproofing solution dry for 6–8 hours before proceeding to the next step.

 

Step 3: Apply the Second Layer

After drying, apply Asian Paints SmartCare Hydroloc Xtreme again without adding water.

The application process for this layer must be perpendicular to the initial one. So, if your layering motion was vertical during the first layer, go for a horizontal motion this time or vice versa. Let it dry for another 6–8 hours.

This ensures that the waterproofing coats are applied evenly and eliminates the chance of any area being coated thinly. It offers optimal protection against moisture.

 

Step 4: Apply Putty

Next, two layers of Asian Paints Waterproofing Powder are applied to the surfaces. This offers extra protection against moisture and ensures a smooth and even base for your paint. Remember to let the first coating of putty dry before applying the next layer.

 

Step 5: Use Paint and Primer

After drying the putty, apply a single coating of primer. This helps the paint cling to the wall and offers a uniform finish. Dry the primer, apply a double coat of paint your choice, and you’re all set!

 

Conclusion

In earlier days, waterproofing a home was an invasive process that required breaking down the structure. However, that’s no longer the case! With Asian Paints SmartCare Hydroloc Xtreme, you can restore your home’s wall health, efficiently waterproof your home, and enjoy a strong, moisture-free, and beautiful home for years!

Hence, always make sure to include waterproofing cost in your overall budget. Want to know more about how you can conduct a seamless waterproofing process with the Asian Paints SmartCare Hydroloc Xtreme?
