Waterproofing / Site problem guide

Terrace leakage at parapet junction

Damp line appears along wall-to-slab junction.

A practical decision sequence

Diagnose the cause, then verify the repair.

Use the site evidence to agree a project-specific method with the responsible engineer, concrete producer, manufacturer or specialist applicator.

01 / Symptom

What is happening?

Damp line appears along wall-to-slab junction.

02 / Inspect and test

Evidence to collect

Inspect upstand height, chase or termination, cracks and coping; trace moisture after wind-driven rain.

03 / Likely mechanism

Why it can fail

Movement and a missing or failed termination permit water behind the membrane.

04 / Technical response

Choose the system

Repair cracks, form an appropriate cove or transition and reinstate a compatible upstand and termination.

05 / Site execution

Control the application

Prepare sound surfaces; reinforce the junction where specified and protect exposed edges.

06 / Acceptance

Verify the result

Inspect termination continuity and test the junction under controlled wetting.

Avoid this shortcut

A horizontal coating alone cannot bridge an unaddressed moving junction.
