Method For Basement Waterproofing

Installation for Newton Titan Pro

MacLennan-LSE tradesmen carefully removed the existing brick floor and carefully set it to one side. A concrete floor was installed with a Newton Basedrain set in at the wall floor junction. Newton System 500 cavity drain membrane was installed over the concrete floor and sealed to the basedrain. A Newton Titan Pro self contained sump with 2 in number 400 Watt pumps was then installed, and a high level alarm system. The MacLennan-LSE tradesmen then relayed the traditional brick floor onto the membrane. The inverted lid of the sump chamber was filled with the bricks laid in traditional mortar.

Result

The basement was converted from a very damp unusable space to a completely dry guaranteed habitable area which complies with BS8102 2009 and was guaranteed against water ingress.
