Waterproofing

Waterproofing & Damp-proofing

Waterproofing is the process of making a structure waterproof or water-resistant so that it remains relatively unaffected by water or resisting the ingress of water under specified conditions.

A Quality Waterproofing System is a waterproofing systems that prevents the passage of liquid water in the presence of hydrostatic pressure, to be controlled in case of leakage possibility.

A quality waterproofing system provides protection as necessary and may also include accessory products which complement and complete the details of waterproofing.

There are many differences between waterproofing and damp-proofing systems. They are as follows:

  • Waterproofing is the treatment of a surface to prevent the passage of liquid water in the presence of hydrostatic pressure.
  • Damp-proofing is treatment of a surface to retard the absorption of moisture and enhance resistance of soil contamination.
  • All building envelops encounter hydrostatic pressure from water during their lifetime.
  • Therefore, the use of quality waterproofing system is essential to preserve the water-tightness of the building envelope.
