Terrace Leakage: Find the Water Path Before Choosing the Waterproofing System
Leaks on terraces are often treated as a coating problem when the real cause may be cracks, joints, drainage, penetrations, slope or failed detailing.
Damp line appears along wall-to-slab junction.
Use the site evidence to agree a project-specific method with the responsible engineer, concrete producer, manufacturer or specialist applicator.

Inspect upstand height, chase or termination, cracks and coping; trace moisture after wind-driven rain.
Movement and a missing or failed termination permit water behind the membrane.
Repair cracks, form an appropriate cove or transition and reinstate a compatible upstand and termination.
Prepare sound surfaces; reinforce the junction where specified and protect exposed edges.
Inspect termination continuity and test the junction under controlled wetting.
A horizontal coating alone cannot bridge an unaddressed moving junction.
