An improved method of adhering a waterproofing membrane to an underlayment and substrate is disclosed. A perforated underlayment comprising a tough, fibrous reinforcing base layer or matting impregnated with a bitumen/polymer mixture substantially similar to the bitumen/polymer mixture of the waterproofing membrane is placed on a substrate. The exposed underside of the waterproofing membrane is heated until it reaches a softening point. Thereafter, the membrane is unrolled onto the underlayment whereby the membrane and the underlayment are bonded essentially into a single ply. Additionally, when the membrane is unrolled, the bitumen/polymer mixture is sufficiently molten to flow and pass through the openings of the perforations thereby bonding the final waterproofing membrane to the substrate.
