What is waterproofing?

Waterproofing is a process of applying materials or treatments to surfaces with the aim of making them resistant to the penetration of water. The primary purpose of waterproofing is to prevent water from entering or damaging structures, protecting them from moisture-related issues such as leaks, mold, and structural damage. Waterproofing can be applied to various surfaces, including roofs, basements, foundations, walls, and other areas vulnerable to water intrusion. There are different methods and materials used in waterproofing, such as sealants, membranes, coatings, and drainage systems, depending on the specific needs and characteristics of the surface being treated. Waterproofing is crucial in maintaining the integrity of buildings and structures, prolonging their lifespan, and preventing potential water related problems.
