• Below-grade buildings should have grading,
  drainage and landscaping plan that direct water
  away from the foundation walls on all sides.
   
• Expansive soils are clays that absorb moisture
  and expand with enough force to cause significant
  damage. They must be removed and replaced
  by a backfill of stable soil or gravel. 
   
• Concrete, mortar and block are porous building
  materials that, if not properly treated, will absorb water. 
   
• Waterproofing of below-grade structures should be
  continuous and wrap the entire foundation. 
   
• All construction joints in below-grade concrete
  foundations should have an embedded waterstop. 
   
• Waterproofing should be applied to the exposed courses
  of block and concrete walls to prevent water penetration
  from the roof or run-off from the adjacent soil.
   
• The substrate should be saturated
  (saturated surface dry) prior to the application
  of any cementitious waterproofing system. 
   
• A cove should be constructed at the intersection
  of the wall and footing, prior to the application
  of the waterproofing system, to direct water
  to the drainage system.

• It is always easier and less costly to prevent water
  problems during construction, than it is to fix them later.
   
• Dampproofing is the treatment of a surface
  to retard the absorption of moisture in the absence
  of hydrostatic pressure.
   
• Waterproofing is the treatment of a surface
  to prevent the passage of water in the presence
  of hydrostatic pressure.
   
• Asphalt dampproofing will break down
  under UV and microbiological activity.
  They also become brittle and crack with age.
   
• Positive waterproofing is applied on the side
  of the foundation at the source of the water and
  negative waterproofing is on the opposite side.
   
• Footing drains are essential in all foundations
  and must be installed continuously around
  the entire perimeter.
