Abstract
Waterproofing is a critical component of the building envelope, a comprehensive system protecting structures from environmental elements. Site-specific conditions, including subsurface drainage, groundwater levels, and building use, dictate the type and extent of waterproofing required. Sheet membranes, bentonite-based systems, and multi-layered composite systems each offer appropriate and effective solutions for different project conditions and performance requirements.
