Internal Wet Area Waterproofing

Waterproofing is one of the most important parts of your building construction and one of the most neglected parts by contractors because they don’t know its importance and don’t want to spend the money to do it right. The problem of waterproofing of roofs, wall, bathroom, kitchens, toilets, swimming pools, water ranks and basements etc. have not been much reduced. There are a number of materials and methods available for waterproofing purposes. But a successful waterproofing not only depends upon the quality and durability of material but also the environment, workmanship and type of structures.
