Waterproofing Failures: What should you do?

Waterproofing failures are like when your favorite raincoat gets wet inside, it’s not magic, but something went wrong.

What should you do?

If your raincoat gets wet inside, don’t cry! Just fix it. You can use tape or a patch to seal the holes. That’s like fixing a leak in a bathtub, if water keeps coming in, you need to plug it up.
