Tiled patios do require waterproofing as it prevents water from ingressing into the structural frame work and potentially leaking into the floor area below.

Waterproofing retaining walls is crucial. If not done efflorescence will weep through the wall causing issues with any finished surfaces, such as paint and render. To further ensure the walls structural integrity a gravel drainage trench should be used to assist in diverting water.

Anything that is below natural ground level should require external waterproofing and a gravel drainage trench to help prevent and divert water from the foundations of the house.

The waterproofing process is different for each type. Internal and external will usually take between 3 - 5 days, remedial is very unique and depends on the specific project. Each process can vary due to temperature, humidity and ventilation.
