Traditionally there have been 5 widely used testing methods for testing of horizontal membranes: spray testing, flood testing, capacitance (impedance) testing, nuclear metering, and infrared (IR) thermal imaging. Throughout the last two decades, two new methods of testing have revolutionized the leak detection and integrity testing trade. These methods utilize electricity and a easy electric circuit to detect and determine downside circumstances in roofing and waterproofing techniques. These are generically known as ‘Low Voltage Electrical Conductance Testing’ and ‘High Voltage Spark Testing’. To elucidate or handle all the ideas and subtleties of how every testing methodology must be carried out to supply accurate outcomes would require more time and house than allowed. This document will deal with highlighting the testing methodologies, scientific ideas, and their advantages and limitations. Particular attention shall be given to limitations. This is due in large half to the fact that it has come to the attention of the author that the talents of the excessive and low voltage methods are incessantly overstated leading to un-met expectations on the part of owners and contractors which lead to skepticism and probably a nasty fame of an rising expertise.

Crystalline waterproofing system may be executed in three alternative ways as per the requirement and the scenario demands. Floor coating is commonest, other are dry shake powder utility and as an admixture added at the time of batching. In dry shake powder utility for horizontal set concrete and structural slabs, the Crystalline waterproofing compound is spread throughout uniformily to fresh concrete after preliminary set and power trowelled. Unset concrete matrix incorporates an abundance of moisture for optimum penetration of crystalline waterproofing compounds. As an admixture, when added at the time of batching, crystalline waterproofing compounds reacts with moisture in contemporary concrete and the bi-merchandise of cement hydration to trigger catalytic response, which generates a nonsoluble crystalline formation by means of the pores and capillary tracts of the concrete.

Waterproofing is the formation of an impervious barrier that is designed to prevent water from coming into or exiting from varied sections of the building structure. The waterproofing system is a collection of integral elements that operate in unison to forestall moisture intrusion into the ability. The system configuration is generally related in all waterproofing functions. The fabric components which are common to all forms of waterproofing purposes are the structural substrate, flashing, membrane and insulation.
