What is waterproofing?

According to wikipedia:

“Waterproofing is a treatment made to clothing or products during or after the production process, which provides some protection against exposure to water. The extent to which the item is protected can vary by extended exposure, water depth , water composition, salts, chemicals, etc, and the quality or method of treatment. Products which are waterproofed can be made to be so by applying a waterproof spray.”

In simpler words: Waterproofing is stopping water to do damage to your possessions.

Almost anything you can think of can be damaged by water so should be made water resistant.
However when we talk about ‘waterproofing’ we usually refer to the things in the home improvement area like:

• waterproofing basement
• waterproofing foundation
• waterproofing walls
• waterproofing concrete
• waterproofing roofs etc..

Of course another big area is about water resistance of your household items: i.e waterproofing your shoes, waterproofing your clothes, waterproofing tent, not to mention waterproofing mascara and other cosmetics

Each and every product and material need different solution to stop the water doing damage to it.
