Waterproofing will also prevent damage to cause your plasterboard to swell, paint from blistering, damage to beams and other aesthetics within the house. Protection against Mould collecting. Mould affects the structural integrity of the building. If not attended to it can start to eat away at cellulose materials like wood.
