Damp proofing: A moisture control technique that prevents moisture from entering a structure during construction. It involves using chemicals and techniques to reduce the spread of moisture from outside sources.
Waterproofing: A process that makes a structure water-resistant or waterproof so that it's not affected by water. Waterproofing solutions can be used on roofs, exteriors, and interiors to keep residential spaces dry.
Termite proofing: A treatment that prevents termites from growing in a building. Termites can enter buildings through cracks, pipes, walls, and floor joints. Once termites develop in a building, it can be expensive and difficult to finish.
Note: There is a difference between dampproofing and waterproofing. Dampproofing is intended to keep out soil moisture while waterproofing keeps out both moisture and liquid water.
