What is Waterproofing?
Waterproofing is a protective measures or process or treatment that makes the surface or substrate water-resistant or prevents penetration of liquid, moisture intrusion under any circumstances (like hydrostatic pressure, capillary actions, etc.)
What is Damp-proofing?
A protective measure or process or treatment or system that is resistant to water vapor or minor amounts of moisture to any surface or substrate; and which also acts as a backup system to primary waterproofing systems or waterproofing materials.
It also means protection against moisture intrusion.
Generally damp proofing keeps moisture out of a building where vapor barriers keep interior moisture from getting into walls.
Damp-proofing systems are generally non-exposed systems.
