Waterproof or water resistant describes the object relatively unaffected by water or resisting the ingress of water under specified conditions. Waterproofing is the method by which an item is made resistant to damage by water. It is the formation of barrier which is designed to prevent water entering or escaping from various sections of building structures.

Internal areas that are waterproofed include bathroom, shower recesses, laundries and toilets. Whilst an external area waterproofed extends to roofs, planter boxes, balconies, retaining walls and swimming pools.

There are different causes of leakage. For leakage to occur, 2 conditions must be present.

1. Water in any of its form must be present.

2. There must be a breach (hole or some type of opening) from which water is leaking.

For first condition, if the water is placed to a place for more than enough time and it does not find any place or drainage, then it starts damaging the surface where it is staying. It is the nature of water to flow to the lower level. If the level is equal, then it starts flowing towards the gravity force. That’s why the wetness and leakage occurs in the walls or roofs or any of the places where the water is placed for a lot of time.

If there is a minor hole, even not visible to the eye, it doe snot create any hurdle for water. It requires a pin like hole to pass away. And if there is a hole of pin size, and the water is there, it starts flowing and leaking from it. Eventually it will increase the size of the hole and destroy the construction.
