THE PROCESS OFWATERPROOFING OF
BASEMENT
What is a basement ?
Floors of a building that are either completely or partially below the ground floor.
Waterproofing vs Damp-proofing
Waterproofing prevents the passage of water in the presence of hydrostatic pressure.
Damp-proofing retards the absorption of moisture in the absence of hydrostatic pressure.
Why waterproof a basement ?
