It protects the building from the outside’s complex effects of climate, and the roof also participates in creation of the internal artificial environment. It is one of the key, but also the most critical parts of the building. In addition to proper design, the correct choice of materials and quality of implementation, and maintenance is very important for the operation works. How to maintain and control especially waterproofing layer, which is usually covered by other layers? There are several systems that can be used to monitor a damp-proof membrane.
