When waterproofing a below ground structure with a Type C cavity membrane system, a suitable basement drainage system is also required to safely remove ground water ingress which percolates the structure.

This drainage system is made up of four key components – a submersible pump, often referred to as a sump pump, basement drainage channels/modular drainage system, high level water alarm(s) and battery backup(s), larger projects may also require a control panel.  

The first stage of a cavity drainage system install is to provide an accessible and maintainable drainage system.  Whether new build or retrofitting, the drainage system is always the first step.

The key function of waterproofing an expansion joint is to minimize water ingress into a structure by creating a secure waterproofing barrier.  Penetrating water may cause damage and may reduce the usage and lifecycle of the building.
