Damp proofing vs. waterproofing

Question

Accepted Answer

The difference between “Damp Proofing” and “Waterproofing” can be defined by the material installed and its resistance to hydro-static pressure. A damp proofing system or damp proofing course resists the passage of moisture and water with no hydro-static pressure and waterproofing systems and materials resist the passage of water that is under pressure.
