Why gardens need dedicated waterproofing
Soil and regular watering create sustained moisture exposure well beyond what normal rain provides, meaning a terrace’s existing waterproofing (designed for occasional rain) can be overwhelmed by a permanently damp planter or garden bed sitting on top of it.
What proper garden waterproofing includes
A dedicated waterproof membrane beneath the soil layer, a drainage layer to prevent waterlogging, and properly placed outlets so excess water drains away rather than sitting against the terrace surface indefinitely.
Common mistake: assuming terrace waterproofing is enough
Terrace waterproofing alone is built for periodic rain exposure and drying out between showers, not constant soil moisture. Adding a garden without a separate root-barrier and drainage system is one of the most common causes of a "sudden" leak years after a terrace was originally waterproofed.
Planning a rooftop garden properly
If you are planning a rooftop or terrace garden, get the waterproofing assessed and designed for that specific use before adding soil and plants — retrofitting after a leak means removing everything to fix the layer underneath.
