 Topic: Water proofing west side facing wall
Didn't know what category to choose, so putting it here.

I've a top floor (4th) flat with west facing windows, during stormy rain the west side wall bleeds from inside along with the windows. I've decided to replace the windows with uPVC as this is a 10yr old construction and the builder had not been fair with the windows at that time. I would appreciate ideas how I can stop the bleeding walls would be highly appreciable. I'm located in Kolkata, so any water proofing experts can get in touch with me too. Just as a note, the walls only bleeds during stormy weather, I.e. when their is a stron west side wind, normal rains are fine.

Thanks.

             There is gap exist in between window and wall, secondly I think projection of window have not provided with sufficient width.As you want to change the window, than fix the window and care should be taken that no gap or hole is remain, if width of projection is less than cover the window with plastic sheet projection.
Thirdly if the plaster of west side of wall have cracks or uneven, than re plaster the wall with  cement plaster 1;4 ratio.No use of water proofing of wall.
