What is Waterproofing?
Waterproofing is a protection method applied to the surfaces of buildings to prevent water infiltration. This process involves applying a physical barrier or waterproof membrane to structural elements (such as foundations, roofs, walls, balconies, and terraces) to block the penetration of water. Waterproofing enhances the durability of buildings and structures, ensuring both interior comfort and long-lasting protection against external factors. This method is critical for securing all types of structures, ranging from residential buildings to commercial properties, infrastructure projects to industrial facilities.
Why Is Waterproofing Important?
- Protects Structural Strength: Water leakage can cause concrete to crack, steel reinforcement to corrode, and overall structural weakness.
- Prevents Costly Repairs: Waterproofing is an early precaution that reduces long-term repair expenses.
- Safeguards Health: Water infiltration promotes dampness and mold growth, which can harm human health.

Questions You May Have About Waterproofing
Water is one of the biggest threats that shortens a building’s service life and affects its durability. Water penetrating the structure gradually causes corrosion of the reinforcement in the structural and load-bearing elements, leading to cracks and fractures over time. When waterproofing is not applied, water seeping into parts of the building in contact with the ground corrodes the reinforcement in load-bearing elements, reducing their load-bearing capacity and causing cracks or breaks during ground movement or earthquakes. Insufficient waterproofing not only threatens the lifespan of a building but also poses health risks. Moisture and related issues such as mold, fungi, and unpleasant odors can endanger human health.
The absence of waterproofing, or incomplete or improperly executed waterproofing applications, can significantly reduce the useful service life of building materials and components. They can also cause structural problems that are often irreparable in terms of the building’s physical integrity. Waterproofing is most economical and effective when applied during the construction phase. Therefore, during the building’s construction—especially for essential foundation waterproofing, which cannot be retrofitted—water and moisture protection should be planned from the outset, using appropriate materials, details, and qualified applications to extend the useful service life of building materials and components.
Waterproofing should be applied at every point of a building where water may come into contact, from the foundation to the roof. The main areas requiring waterproofing include:
- Foundations and Basement Walls: To protect against groundwater and surrounding water.
- Roofs, Terraces, and Balconies: To guard against rainwater, snow accumulation, and domestic water.
- Wet Areas (Bathrooms and Kitchens): Interior spaces frequently exposed to water.
- Water Tanks and Swimming Pools: To protect against continuous water contact.
Waterproofing is classified into different types based on the materials used and the application methods. These include:
- Polymer-Bitumen Membranes
- Proof-Type Membranes for Fresh Concrete
- Plastic and Rubber-Based Synthetic Membranes
- Brush- or Spray-Applied Materials
- Polymer-Modified Bitumen Materials
- Resin-Based Liquid Waterproofing Materials
Thanks to UV-resistant varieties, they can be used on open terrace roofs and rain gutters.
- Some types bridge hairline cracks.
- They are elastic, do not shrink, and do not crack.
- Can be used in foundations with high groundwater levels.
- Suitable for engineering structures such as tunnels and subways.
- Can be applied on potable water tanks, with or without a covering, and are available in potable water-safe types.
- In wet areas, terraces, and balconies, they allow direct covering without the need for an additional screed.
- Easy to apply.
- Do not create joints; material change points can be detailed easily.
- Easy to repair and maintain.
- Save time and labor costs during application.
- Unlike membrane applications, they do not require special tools or equipment and can be applied with a roller, brush, or spray.
- Do not add extra load to buildings.
- External Factors: Ultraviolet (UV) exposure, chemicals, plant roots, salt effects, water pressure, acids, and climatic conditions
- Internal Factors: Type of structure (reinforced concrete, steel, wood), building function, and surface condition
- Type of Waterproofing: Structural waterproofing, surface waterproofing
- Direction of Waterproofing: Positive-side (external) or negative-side (internal) application
