Waterproofing for Wellness: Designing Durable, Sustainable, and Safe Tiled Assemblies

This podcast examines the occupant wellness and sustainability implications of waterproofing systems in Division 9 wet zone applications. We explore design considerations, material selection, specification language, and installation methods that directly affect occupant safety, building durability, and environmental performance. By addressing common oversights and highlighting innovative solutions, the podcast equips design professionals with strategies to prevent failures, reduce liability, and align with sustainable building frameworks. Podcast participants will gain actionable knowledge that supports compliance with ASTM/ANSI standards, enhances long-term performance, and contributes to healthier, more resilient built environments.

This podcast is sponsored by Noble Company. Today's podcast guest is Dean Moilanen. Dean is a Division 9 waterproofing, crack isolation, and permeation specialist who advises on some of the most demanding and prestigious projects in the USA. As a 30-year veteran of the tile industry, Dean's relationships with architects, builders, and owners allow him access to some of the most challenging and compelling design issues in the industry. Dean's extensive career on job sites gives him a real-world perspective as he has seen first-hand success and failure relating to product selection, installation issues, and sequencing techniques.
