Building waterproofing includes all measures to secure the building fabric against moisture or water penetrating from the outside. Exterior walls against the ground are exposed to special loads and therefore require special sealing against moisture.
More about building waterproofing
Common load cases:
- Waterproofing against soil moisture and non-accumulating seepage water in accordance with DIN 18 195-4
- Waterproofing against water pressing from outside and accumulating seepage water DIN 18 195-6
- Pressing water with accumulating seepage water is usually intercepted by a white tank (waterproof concrete).
