A comprehensive professional guide focused on the building envelope. The author establishes two foundational concepts: the 90%/1% principle, which asserts that most leaks occur at minute transition points, and the 99% principle, which attributes nearly all failures to installation errors rather than material defects. Detailed chapters outline strategies for below-grade and above-grade waterproofing, specifically addressing forces like hydrostatic pressure and capillary action. The text further examines technical solutions such as prefabricated drainage systems, sealants, and expansion joints to maintain structural integrity. Additionally, the handbook covers modern concerns like mold remediation, residential applications, and the legal complexities of warranties and maintenance. Ultimately, the source promotes an integrated construction process where designers and contractors collaborate to create a cohesive, watertight barrier.
