Failures

Why Waterproofing Fails

The recurring causes seen on remedial projects — and how many of them originate at trade interfaces rather than in the membrane itself.

Common contributors

Inadequate substrate preparation, flat or reversed falls, thresholds set too low, penetrations cored after membrane, incompatible materials, damage by following trades and terminations detailed for convenience rather than to the manufacturer's requirement.

Diagnose before rectifying

Water rarely enters where it appears. Structured testing that isolates the source produces a scope that can be justified to owners, insurers or the builder — and avoids paying twice.
