WATER
PROOFING

VARIOUUS METHODS, COMPOUNDS , PRODUCTS AND THEIR DETAILS.

Materials limitations- 1) CRACKS.

2) GAPS.
Why dampness happens?

CAPILLARY ACTION
It catches water due to low pressure.
It causes cracks.

Types of water proofing compoundsTWO TYPES OF WATER PROOFING COMPOUNDS:-

1) PREVENTIVE-used with construction.

2) REMEDIAL used After Construction.
PREVENTIVE

1) It is very expensive.
