Combine how a home is built with how water behaves and you have five ways water enters your home. You now have a standard in which to measure the difference between a temporary solution and a permanent solution. A waterproofing method that stops all five ways water enters your structure and does it forever and allows the walls to drain is a permanent solution. Any waterproofing method that is permanent must stop water from over the footer, under the footer, through wall cracks and mortar joints, from the bleeding and sweating of concrete and through floor cracks to be permanent.
