What preparation is required before waterproofing work begins?

Clear access, remove debris, and address existing cracks or moisture sources; proper prep ensures effective waterproofing application.

How does waterproofing impact access to my foundation during installation?

Keep drainage systems clear, inspect for damage periodically, and address minor issues promptly to prolong waterproofing effectiveness.
