Concrete Waterproofing
Concrete waterproofing is a necessity of home construction and is not to be confused with damp proofing. The difference between damp proofing and concrete Waterproofing is a drainage system. Under the international residential code, all foundations must have a drainage system installed. Any coating or membrane with a drainage system installed (and meeting thickness guidelines) are considered concrete Waterproofing products.

Why Concrete Waterproofing is Needed?It is extremely important for concrete waterproofing to protect your home from moisture damage for the simple fact that, on one side of your foundation wall is cold wet soil and the other side, your family. Keeping moisture off your foundation wall and out of your home is the job of concrete waterproofing. However, most concrete waterproofing products only do half the job and can actually cause problems for your home as opposed to preventing them. It's the hidden or unthought-of parts of concrete waterproofing that make the difference between the different concrete waterproofing products.
