1. Damp proof membranes: These are typically made from materials such as polyethylene, bitumen, or rubber and are used to create a barrier against moisture.
2. Damp proof coatings: These are liquid coatings that can be applied to walls or floors to prevent moisture from seeping through. They are often made from materials such as cementitious compounds or epoxy resins.
3. Damp proof courses: These are physical barriers made from materials such as slate, plastic, or metal that are installed in walls to prevent moisture from rising up through the structure.
4. Waterproofing compounds: These are chemical compounds that can be added to concrete or mortar mixes to make them more resistant to water penetration.
5. Drainage systems: These can include materials such as plastic or metal pipes, gravel, and geotextiles that are used to redirect water away from a building's foundation.
6. Sealants: These are materials such as silicone or polyurethane that are used to seal gaps and cracks in walls or floors to prevent water from entering.

Bituminous Materials:
- Bituminous membranes: Flexible sheets made from asphalt or coal tar, used to create a waterproof barrier on foundations and walls.
- Bituminous paints and coatings: Applied to surfaces to seal cracks and prevent moisture penetration.
Cementitious Materials:
- Cementitious coatings and slurries: Mixtures of cement, sand, and water used to fill cracks and create a waterproof barrier.
- Cementitious tanking systems: Waterproofing systems consisting of multiple layers of cementitious materials, often reinforced with fiberglass or plastic mesh.
Plastic Materials:
- Plastic membranes: Impermeable sheets made from polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride (PVC), used to line floors, walls, and ceilings.
- Plastic coatings: Sprayed or painted coatings made from epoxy or polyurethane, used to seal cracks and provide waterproofing.
Chemical Injection Grout:
- Silicate-based grouts: Injected into cracks and voids to expand and seal them, forming a water-resistant barrier.
- Epoxy-based grouts: Similar to silicate-based grouts, but more durable and resistant to chemicals.
Other Materials:
- Slurry seals: Mixtures of asphalt emulsions and aggregate (sand), used to waterproof surfaces and fill cracks.
- Liquid applied membranes: Waterproofing membranes applied in liquid form and cured to form a seamless, flexible barrier.
- Metal flashings: Metal sheets used to direct water away from vulnerable areas, such as joints and corners.
- Geotextiles: Fabrics made from synthetic fibers, used to filter water and prevent clogging of drainage systems.
