Waterproofing
Waterproofing is a leading cause of construction litigation, waterproofing systems require proper installation by qualified people.
Every building/structure needs waterproofing. The system of waterproofing involves ‘membranes’. This relies on the application of one or more layers of membrane, available in various types of materials, that act as a barrier between the water and the building structure, preventing water ingress. The membrane system relies on perfect application, which has presented difficulties.
If the membrane or application does not adhere properly to the substrate can lead to leakages.
The new technological advancements in waterproofing materials, moving from membrane sheet applications to integral waterproofing systems. These integral systems work ‘within’ the matrix of the concrete structure, giving the concrete itself the waterproofing ability.
