• Abstract:

  Buildings are susceptible to a process of degradation caused by aggressive agents and moisture is one of those harmful agents that can cause pathologies in the structure. In the absence of an adequate treatment, the prognosis is the decrease in the building's performance and useful life, in addition to negatively influencing the aesthetic issue and its commercial value (depreciation). In this context, this article intends to show the importance of waterproofing as a guarantee of the watertightness of the structure and as a preventive measure the appearance of anomalies arising from the presence of bad weather. Through a case study of a building located in the city of Manaus/AM and, starting from an in loco survey, plus bibliographical research related to the theme, we sought to identify and analyze the pathological manifestations related to these agents, checking its possible causes and consequences. With this analysis, it was concluded that there is a lack of a good level of knowledge and technical training, even the adoption of waterproofing projects, with the correct choice of waterproofing products and methods, in order to ensure a lower incidence of pathologies in the area, above all, the absence of preventive measures aimed at the conservation of the property.
