Water Stopper

A water stopper is a device or material used to prevent the passage of water through a joint or gap in a structure. It is commonly used in construction to create a water-resistant barrier around openings such as doors, windows, and pipes, as well as in concrete structures to prevent water from seeping through expansion joints and construction joints.Water stoppers can be made from a variety of materials, including rubber, PVC, metal, and concrete. They are typically installed during the construction process and are designed to withstand the pressure of water and other fluids, as well as exposure to harsh environmental conditions.

Water stoppers can be categorized into two types: external and internal. External water stoppers are placed on the exterior of the structure, such as on a building foundation, to prevent water from entering the building. Internal water stoppers are placed inside the structure, such as in concrete joints, to prevent water from seeping through the joints and causing damage.

Water stoppers are an important component of building and infrastructure design, as they play a critical role in preventing water damage, which can compromise the structural integrity of a building and pose a risk to occupants.
