Book Overview
The NRCA Waterproofing Manual – 2nd Edition is a comprehensive technical guide developed by the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) to support the design and installation of waterproofing and dampproofing systems, particularly for below-grade applications. Released in November 2020, the manual serves as a vital companion to the NRCA Roofing Manual Set, filling in gaps where building codes offer limited direction on waterproofing. It is divided into several key sections, beginning with General Project Considerations, which address planning essentials such as quality control, weather limitations, material handling, waterstop use, drainage design, and warranty coordination. The core of the manual provides technical guidelines for waterproofing system selection, application methods, and integration with adjacent building assemblies, including best practices for both positive-side and blind-side waterproofing, as well as gas-barrier installations and hydrostatic vs. nonhydrostatic detailing. The Construction Details section offers highly visual, field-ready illustrations for transitions, terminations, and typical assemblies. In the appendices, the manual includes practical tools such as contractor qualification forms, jobsite checklists, detailed testing protocols—including electronic leak detection—and a robust glossary.
