Lift pits are the lowermost parts of elevator shafts, and they are susceptible to water infiltration due to their below-ground location. Waterproofing lift pits is essential to protect the elevator components and prevent water-related damage. The first step is to assess the condition of the lift pit and identify any existing water leakage or damage. The surface must be thoroughly cleaned to remove any dirt, debris, or loose material that could hinder the waterproofing process. Any visible cracks, holes, or gaps in the lift pit walls and floor need to be repaired. These areas are vulnerable to water seepage and must be properly sealed before applying waterproofing materials. To enhance adhesion, a bonding agent or primer is applied to the lift pit surface. This helps the waterproofing material adhere firmly to the substrate and improve its effectiveness. There are various waterproofing systems that can be used for lift pits, such as liquid-applied membranes, sheet membranes, or cementitious coatings. The choice of the waterproofing material depends on the specific requirements and conditions of the lift pit. Depending on the type of waterproofing material used, multiple coats may be required to achieve the desired level of protection. Each coat must be applied following the manufacturer's guidelines, with appropriate curing time between coats.
