Waterproofing vs. Damp-Proofing

Damp-proofing is typically done during construction to meet basic building codes. It involves applying a moisture-resistant material to the interior of the foundation walls. While it can resist moisture, it does not provide full protection against water. Waterproofing, on the other hand, involves external treatments that prevent water from penetrating the foundation walls, keeping your basement dry even during heavy rains.

Key Differences:

Damp-Proofing: Provides minimal moisture resistance; applied internally.
Waterproofing: Offers full protection against water; applied externally.

I completed my french drains with Solage Solide in 2019 and it was an excellent experience. The work was top notch and I haven't had any problems since! Having Matthew simplify and explain the work that needed to be done gave me peace of mind.
