Frequent complaints are raised about the failure of waterproofing and blamed the quality of waterproofing materials. If we look into this matter wisely, in major cases, it is seen that waterproofing materials pass all the quality requirements under the CSIRO. Most of the failures are due to faulty specification, human error, and poor workmanship.

Therefore, it is very important that full care should be taken at the initial stage, i.e., at the time of making specification of waterproofing. During selection of waterproofing system, the specifier should use his experience and judgment considering severity of water conditions, type of construction and the conditions under which the materials will be applied. Manufacturer should also be consulted concerning selection of materials, method of application, surface conditions, number of coats/ dosage, crack repair, protective covering etc. and that will assure satisfactory performance of waterproofing.
