What is built brick by brick may get destroyed by drop by drop leakage and seepage of water in buildings. Utmost care is required to be taken during planning, construction and subsequent maintenance of buildings to ensure leakage and seepage free interiors and exteriors during their life time. Literature, specially dedicated to design and construction aspects leading to leakage and seepage free buildings, has been wanting. Present book not only brings out expectations of users from the buildings but also systematically deals with all methodologies and steps that lead to user-friendly buildings which are free from leakages and seepages. Subject matter has been dealt in a very professional manner with extensive illustrations so as to make adaption of suggested methods simple and easy. Better quality, comforts and aesthetics are obtained at no extra cost. The book is intended to serve all professionals in construction industry like architects, engineers, students and builders as well as users.
