Cavity Drain Type C Waterproofing

A Cavity Drain system is made up of a cuspated membrane applied to the walls and floor with a channel at the wall/floor junction. The membrane allows any water ingress to filter down to the slab and find its way to the perimeter channel. The channel directs the water to a sump pump which is situated below the slab.

Details

British Standard 8102:2022 defines Type C waterproofing as “drained protection” where water leaking through the structure is accepted into voids and air spaces, created by cavity drain membranes that are strategically placed to the inside of the structure, depressurising the incoming water and safely removing it from the property.

These membranes, coupled with the bespoke sump and pump configurations, backup systems, telemetry and ancillary options, makes it the most reliable and maintainable waterproofing solution for any habitable space below ground.
