• Water can cause major damage to buildings.
• Waterproofing membranes generally consist of liquid applied or pre-formed sheet membranes.
• One of the worst things that can happen to the structure of a building is a foundation problem.
• Some advantages of using the APP membrane is that it has enhanced bitumen performance which helps in UV resistance.
• It is not affected by rapid changes in temperature and is still efficient during extremely hot and cold temperatures.
•  However, it’s always recommended to have graded falls to outlets.
• Basements, particularly old ones, tend to allow water to seep into the foundation leading to mould and structural issues.
• With higher density living and residential blocks becoming smaller, more people are turning to rooftop gardens.
• Waterproofing membranes are used for different applications such as roofing & walls, waste & water management, tunnels & landfills, bridges & highways, and mining. Roofing & walls is the largest application segment for waterproofing membranes across the world.

•  Some businesses are even adopting the idea of a community garden, where people can grow and harvest their own produce.
• Waterproofing a retaining wall is a proactive way to reduce repair work in the future.
• Damp can be a persistent problem to the internal walls of concrete and brickwork basements, so a reliable prevention and repair strategy is crucial to prevent damage.

• Apart from concrete roofs and low pitched roofs, other areas of application are concrete gutters, basements and retaining walls.
