2. Waterproofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterproofing

   Walls also have vapor barriers or air barriers. Damp proofing is another aspect of waterproofing. Masonry walls are built with a damp-proof course to prevent rising damp , and the concrete in foundations needs to be damp-proofed or waterproofed with a liquid coating, basement waterproofing membrane (even under the concrete slab floor where ...

3. Vapor barrier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_barrier

   A vapor barrier on the warm side of the envelope must be combined with a venting path on the cold side of the insulation. This is because no vapor barrier is perfect, and because water may get into the structure, typically from rain. In general, the better the vapor barrier and the drier the conditions, the less venting is required. [7]

4. Damp proofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damp_proofing

   A DPC layer is usually laid below all masonry walls, regardless if the wall is a load bearing wall or a partition wall. A damp-proof membrane (DPM) is a membrane material applied to prevent moisture transmission. A common example is polyethylene sheeting laid under a concrete slab to prevent the concrete from gaining moisture through capillary ...

5. Epoxy moisture control system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoxy_moisture_control_system

   Epoxy moisture control systems are chemical barriers that are used to prevent moisture damage to flooring. Excessive moisture vapor emissions in concrete slabs can mean significant, expensive damage to a flooring installation. Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent annually just in the United States to correct moisture-related problems in ...

6. Moisture vapor transmission rate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moisture_vapor...

   Moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR), also water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), is a measure of the passage of water vapor through a substance. It is a measure of the permeability for vapor barriers. There are many industries where moisture control is critical.
