Below Grade Waterproofing...

Below grade waterproofing protects one of the two most important areas of the building, the foundation (the other thing being the roof). Waterproofing below-grade building elements is critical to keeping a facility watertight. While there are many excellent systems in the marketplace that can be specified and installed, the key point to success is understanding the benefits and limitations for any particular system. Proper design and inspection is well worth the effort, especially considering the cost of excavating and replacing a failed system. The guarantees/warranties for any particular system vary based on materials selected and details used. As they typically range from five to 20 years, the specifier should contact the material manufacturer for actual requirements. Proper design inspection is imperative for all systems no matter what guarantee or warranty is provided.

The building architect usually defines the choice for below grade waterproofing.
