Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Waterproofing is a generic term that may be defined as the method of sealing off against free water and moisture, usually under hydrostatic pressure, all parts of a building. Dampproofing usually refers to the protection against moisture and may be distinguished from waterproofing in that it does not involve constant hydrostatic pressure. In other words, dampproofing only retards the passage of water, while waterproofing prevents it. 2, record 4, English, - dampproofing

Les expressions imperméabilisation et hydrofugation, bien que synonymes dans le sens de l'action de traiter une surface (mur de fondation, toiture) soumise à la pression d'un fluide sur l'une ou l'autre de ces faces, se distinguent dans la langue technique. En plus d'imperméabiliser, de rendre étanche une surface, l'hydrofugation traite plus spécifiquement des problèmes d'humidité, dans son sens strict. 4, record 4, French, - hydrofugation
