Overview
Waterproofing of internal wet areas is one of the more problematic areas in building work, with most incidents of water leakage occurred at the floors and internal walls of toilets and kitchens. To enhance watertightness performance of the internal wet areas, it is important to look at how the structure and the waterproofing membrane are detailed.
This course complements the “Good Industry Practices - Waterproofing for Internal Wet Areas” and highlight the good practices in the design, material selection and installation of waterproofing membrane.
