Terrace is one of the most crucial parts in any building as it is always exposed to face severe weather conditions. Temperature variations, intense rain falls and structural moments develop numerous cracks and rainwater leaks through these cracks. In addition to these natural causes, negligence in workmanship such as inaccurate leveling and inappropriate gaps filling between concrete and drain pipes are another reasons of water leakage through terrace. Ignoring terrace waterproofing needs in new construction or using temporarily solutions in exiting seepage problems can create immediate or long-term problems.
