Cellar sealing and water
Management services
The use of cavity membranes has been generally accepted in the UK to protect properties from water ingress. Our technicians use the DELTA systems, which are a complete range of products used together to solve many of today’s problems in both new and old construction. They can easily deal with aggressive ground water conditions, where basements are liable to flooding, or indeed where simple dampness, contamination or salting problems are prevalent.
The sealed system
In soil-retaining situations such as basements and cellars, the DELTA sealed system is recommended. The membrane selection depends on the required finish and flow rate if applicable. All membrane junctions, fixing points, service entries and other protrusions are sealed with the DELTA seal range of sealing products. Where active ground water is evident or expected, drainage of one form or another would be incorporated.
The ventilated system
In above ground situations or in areas where no free running water is expected, the ventilated system is used. The ventilated system with air gap at top and bottom does not require sealed joints or fixings, a 100mm overlap is enough in this situation. The fabric of the building remains unchanged, but the new internal surfaces are ‘dry’ and are salt and contamination free. Both dry lining and plaster finishes are available on the ventilated system.
