Water Proofing & Roof Leaks

Waterproofing is the process of making an object or structure resistant to water, preventing water penetration and minimizing its impact. This ensures durability and protection under specific conditions, whether in wet environments or submerged at certain depths. The terms waterproof and water-resistant refer to a material’s ability to block liquid water, sometimes even under pressure, while damp-proofing specifically prevents moisture or humidity from seeping . The rate at which water vapor passes through a material or structure is measured as the Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR).
