Waterproofing Academy
Brought to you by Polyguard
Water intrusion is a major challenge in ensuring safe, durable, and sustainable buildings. While vapor barriers and rainscreens get attention, foundations, basements, and balconies are equally critical. The Waterproofing Academy explores strategies for water mitigation, air barrier systems, liquid flashing, and pest control, equipping architects with essential tools for effective water management.
