Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialized profession that uses spray machines to form waterproof membranes on building rooftops and exterior walls to prevent rainwater intrusion.
Description
Spray waterproofing workers mainly apply waterproof materials such as urethane or polyurea to building rooftops, balconies, and exterior walls using spray guns or airless machines to create waterproof layers. They first clean and repair the base, apply primer, and perform spraying to achieve uniform film thickness. Work often takes place at heights or in confined spaces, requiring the use of safety harnesses, protective gear, and masks. They check curing and thickness after application, conduct final inspections to ensure quality, collaborate with teams, coordinate with scaffolding work, and create construction plans based on weather conditions.
Future Outlook
With demand for renovating aging buildings and improvements in labor-saving and energy-saving performance, demand for durable spray waterproofing technology will remain stable. Expansion in the adoption of environmentally friendly materials is also expected.
