The Vital Role of Waterproofing + Drainage
Protection against water's destructive force is important in the design and construction of buildings. The effective approach is an integration of good waterproofing and drainage systems - a simple concept of keeping water out and taking water away quickly. Simple in concept, yet difficult in execution, requiring the proper planning, design, selection and installation of such systems and making sure that they work.
A comprehensive system is an integrated combination of products. It is critical that product suitability to the building environment and compatibility with other products and materials are properly evaluated. This is necessary to achieve cost effectiveness, meet construction detail requirements and maximise the product advantages.
Ultimately the system must stand the rigours of the weather and the test of time. It must work throughout the life of the building. Such demanding performance requirement is provided by Waterproofing Technologies, a proven specialist in Elmich drainage systems.

• We understand that leaks are frequently caused by poor workmanship, incorrect system design or unsatisfactory detailing and not product failure itself.
• As industry leader, we hold informational and instructional talks for building professionals and staff concerning material and design details.
• We continuously invest in the latest technologies, product improvement system, equipment and CAD design capabilities.
• We have developed methods and details such as anchoring of the waterproof membranes to basement and slabs, use of drainage sheeting and strip drainage in inverted roof designs that are now used as standard details in the construction industry.
