Abstract
Waterproofing systems are designed to provide long-term durability and protection, often expected to last 50 years or more—significantly exceeding the typical 20-year service life of most roofing systems. One key reason for this extended lifespan is that waterproofing assemblies are typically protected beneath overburden materials, such as pavers, soil, or insulation. This protection minimizes exposure to weathering and UV degradation, two common causes of membrane deterioration in roofing systems.
