Abstract
A method for waterproofing a substrate having a substantially vertical surface using an adhesive element and a waterproof membrane. The adhesive element includes a pressure sensitive adhesive layer coated and a release liner covering one of the primary exterior surfaces of the adhesive layer. In the method, the adhesive element is applied to the surface of the substrate followed by adhering the waterproof membrane to the substrate via the pressure sensitive adhesive layer.

A method for waterproofing a substrate comprising steps of:
- I) providing an adhesive element comprising a pressure sensitive adhesive layer having first and second primary exterior surfaces and a release liner covering the second primary exterior surface of the pressure sensitive adhesive layer,
- II) applying the adhesive element to the surface of the substrate such that at least a portion of the first primary exterior surface of the pressure sensitive adhesive layer is directly connected to the surface of the substrate,
- III) pressing the adhesive element against the surface of the substrate with a pressure sufficient to affect adhesive bonding between the adhesive element and the surface of the substrate,
- IV) providing a waterproof membrane having first and second primary exterior surfaces,
- V) removing the release liner and covering the adhesive element with the waterproof membrane such that at least a portion of the second primary exterior surface of the pressure sensitive adhesive layer is directly connected to the first primary exterior surface of the waterproof membrane, and
- VI) pressing the waterproof membrane against the surface of the substrate with a pressure sufficient to affect adhesive bonding between the waterproof membrane and the surface of the substrate,
- wherein the surface of the substrate is a substantially vertical surface.
