Generally speaking, the term “structural waterproofing” refers to the waterproofing of any structure; however, the property preservation industry applies this solely to the waterproofing of structures with earth retaining walls. Structures that may benefit from structural waterproofing include:
- Cellars
- Basements
- Garages
- Tunnels
- Underground car parks
The above list solely refers to underground structures, which is why structural waterproofing is the chosen method of protection. For ground-level or above-ground properties, the method would be described as “damp proofing”.
