Hi,Subram
Water leak is a major problem in many buildings ,this can be attending only by professionals.A simple water proofing by mason with brush or just one more layer of plastering will never stop dampness.
Try to figure out the wet areas on the slab , its not necessary that leak happens exactly above the dampness area .water can seep in to slab in any place and show dampness far from it.You need to check this by allowing water to stay in grids on slab ,each grid leave it for 2 to 3 days and observe .The grid in which dampness is seen need to be attended.If you need any help in this can contact me.
