The article analyzes coated waterproofing materials used to protect construction structures from the effects of groundwater and moisture. The composition, performance characteristics, and application areas of bitumen, bitumen-polymer, and polymer-cement-based waterproofing materials have been studied. The reliability of the waterproofing coating was theoretically analyzed in terms of adhesion and the influence of water pressure. Research results indicate that polymer-cement-based materials are considered effective in modern construction due to their high adhesion, elasticity, and waterproofing properties.
