You have just completed your waterproofing application and feel that sense of accomplishment. Yet shortly thereafter, the client gives you a call and requests an emergency site meeting. Your waterproofing has prematurely failed and now all that hard work has gone to waste. You still need to figure out what has caused this undesirable predicament. If you want to avoid such a scenario as an applicator or reviewer, then do not miss out on this webinar.
Ten common misconceptions about waterproofing will be presented with a focus on liquid applied membranes based on technical standards and experiences of various stakeholders in the waterproofing industry. The misconceptions will encompass all aspects of waterproofing from the initial preparation, application, maintenance, and remedial stages. Understanding these misconceptions will help applicators and reviewers avoid major pitfalls and premature failures of the waterproofing system which can have serious liability and cost implications.
