When a high compressive strength is required such as applications with vehicular traffic and other horizontal applications.

While J•DRAIN greatly assists in the water management process, it is not considered a stand alone waterproofing product.

J•DRAIN is provided in a plastic cover which provides protection against elements and ultra Violet damage from the sunlight. Unwrapped J•DRAIN should not be stored outside for extended periods of time as it is subject to ultra violet degradation.
