Waterproofing a Domestic Property - Case Study

Posted by: Protectahome Ltd

THE PROBLEM:
Protectahome were requested to provide a design for the installation of a Waterproofing System to the lower ground of a new build domestic property.

The architects provided provisional site plans and ground investigation reports to aid with the design process.

The Waterproofing Solution had to be capable of delivering a grade three habitable environment (as defined in BS8102) for two bedrooms, a WC and a storage area.

THE SOLUTION
Protectahome designed and installed a TYPE C Drained Protection Waterproofing system to create the concrete walls and floors.

The walls and floors were lined using a combination of 8mm stud and 3mm Cavity Drain Membranes, linked to a serviceable perimetre drainage channel. The channels discharge passively to a safe form of drainage.

The Waterproofing System included products by John Newton and Co that benefited the BBA approval.

Work was completed by our own directly employed Operatives under the direct supervision of our Contracts Manager.

The installation benefits from the Provision of a Protectahome long term Guarantee and the design is covered by our very own Professional Indemnity.
