What is Waterproofing?
Using a conventional system, waterproofing involves using ‘waterproof membranes’ to create a seamless barrier around the building structure.

As a result, preventing a passage for water.
Why is Waterproofing Important?
Water leaking into a concrete structure can cause many problems and severe damage. If water can find its way into a buildings structure, mould and bacteria can form quickly.
