Waterproofing is crucial in construction to shield buildings and structures from moisture damage. Utilizing various materials such as membranes, sealants, coatings, and adhesives, waterproofing involves surface preparation, membrane installation, caulking, coating application, and drainage system implementation. These techniques protect roofs, basements, bathrooms, kitchens, exterior walls, and foundations from water penetration, ensuring the longevity and integrity of the structure. Professionals involved include waterproofing contractors and inspectors, adhering to industry standards to deliver effective waterproofing solutions.
