Waterproofing with Prosoco is a crucial step in ensuring the longevity and durability of tiny homes and modular buildings. At the Tiny Home Show on July 12th at the Ancaster Fairgrounds, we showcased how Prosoco’s R-Guard line can provide superior protection against air and water infiltration. Here’s a detailed guide on how to use our products to waterproof your tiny home or modular building effectively.

Why Waterproofing Matters

Tiny homes and modular buildings are exposed to various weather conditions, in the same way that traditional builds are, making them just as susceptible to water damage. Proper waterproofing prevents water infiltration, which can lead to mold, rot, and structural damage. Using Prosoco’s R-Guard line ensures your home remains dry and energy-efficient.
