Water infiltration can lead to damages such as insect infestation, mold and in worst cases building failures. Waterproofing the building before construction will avoid these problems. Waterproofing is very important as it helps keep your building dry. It helps reduce humidity inside the house and thereby protects things inside your house from damage caused due to humidity or water exposure. It is also important for the veracity of the building. With time, waterproofing as a concept has evolved and so have been the types of membranes being used. The focus now is on faster solutions with long-term benefits.
