Project Description
This residential project involved the waterproofing of a garden-facing retaining wall in the backyard of a private home. To prevent water penetration and soil moisture buildup behind the structure, a liquid-applied membrane was used in combination with a drainage board. The system ensures protection against seasonal water pressure and helps maintain the wall’s structural stability over time.
Project Summary
The project addressed chronic dampness in a backyard wall. A liquid membrane was applied directly to the wall surface for seamless protection. Drainage boards were added to reduce hydrostatic pressure. This provided long-term moisture control and structural support.

Important Questions About the Project
Moisture intrusion through exterior or retaining walls can lead to mold, interior damage, and weakened structural integrity. Waterproofing prevents these risks and protects indoor air quality.
Common techniques include liquid-applied membranes, sheet membranes, and drainage boards. The choice depends on wall type, exposure level, and surrounding soil conditions.
Yes, but it may require surface repair or remediation before waterproofing is applied. Early intervention helps reduce costs and prevents further deterioration.
