Commercial buildings need to adopt robust waterproofing measures in their basements to retain structural integrity, provide a favorable working environment to employees, and protect valuable assets from unwanted damage. New York faces significant humidity levels due to its climatic conditions and geography.

Any compromise will soon become the breeding ground for moisture and associated troubles. What should you do?
