9.13.2.1. Required Dampproofing

 9.13.2.1. Required Dampproofing


This Article indicates where #dampproofing is required. Dampproofing is applied to #foundation walls to seal the small #pores that are always present in #concrete and #parging to reduce the #capillary water migration through concrete, parging and masonry block. Dampproofing does not provide #waterproofing, and should not be confused with waterproofing 

Quoted from Illustrated Users' Guide - NBC2015
