The Newton Cavity Drain Membrane (CDM) System, certified with the prestigious BES 6001 accreditation by BRE Global, offers a sustainable solution for basement waterproofing in North East. This system is suitable for both new construction of basements and renovation projects in the city.

The four components of the Newton CDM system:

Consisting of four essential elements: Cavity Drain Membranes, Drainage, Pumps, and Control Systems, the Newton Cavity Drain Membrane (CDM) System aligns with the British Standard for Waterproofing. This comprehensive system not only ensures waterproofing but also guarantees a Grade 3 habitable internal environment, meeting stringent quality standards for comfortable and secure living spaces in North East.

Cavity drain membranes and drainage

Cavity drain membrane (CDM) systems represent a reliable and maintainable solution for interior basement waterproofing, designed to safeguard subterranean spaces from water infiltration in North East. These systems are categorised as ‘Type C’ waterproofing in accordance with British Standard 8102:2022 and are well-suited for various construction scenarios, including new construction, renovations, and preservation projects within the city.

Renowned for their exceptional reliability, cavity drain membranes work by capturing incoming water precisely at the entry point. Subsequently, the CDM drainage system effectively handles and channels this water toward an integrated pumping system or drainage outlet for safe and efficient removal.

Additionally, the Newton PAC-500 System offers a combined approach, providing both CDM waterproofing and protection against ground gases for below-ground areas susceptible to such hazards within North East. This integrated system offers a comprehensive solution to ensure the safety and longevity of underground spaces.

Pumps and control systems

After the cavity drain membranes and drainage channels have effectively captured the water, the next crucial step is secure removal. The Titan-Pro represents a prepackaged sump chamber and pump system meticulously engineered for seamless integration with the Newton Cavity Drain Membrane (CDM) System in North East. It boasts compatibility with a range of Newton pumps, making it a versatile choice suitable for nearly any cavity drain waterproofing system.

What is cavity drain waterproofing?

Cavity drain waterproofing is a highly effective and maintainable basement waterproofing solution suitable for both new-build basements and refurbishment projects in North East and across the UK. This method employs a comprehensive system, consisting of cavity drain membranes, drainage channels, sump pump chambers, and sump pumps. These components work in harmony to create a controlled drainage system that efficiently manages moisture and prevents dampness within the structure.

In cavity drain waterproofing, cavity drain membranes made from high-density polyethylene are affixed to the walls and studs of the basement in North East and other UK locations. These membranes create an air gap, which allows any moisture that penetrates the wall to drain down to the perimeter drainage channels.

These channels direct the moisture to a sump pump chamber, where a sump pump expels it safely away from the building. This process ensures that voids within the structure remain dry, protecting it from the damaging effects of moisture and condensation.

Whether you’re a homeowner planning a basement conversion or a contractor working on a refurbishment project in North East or elsewhere in the UK, cavity drain waterproofing, which is recognised by the BBA as Type C waterproofing, offers a reliable solution for keeping basements and cellars dry.

You can explore more about this method on the relevant sections of the website, where detailed information on the installation process, plugs for sealing wall penetrations, and floor applications can be found. By utilising this controlled drainage system, you can transform damp and potentially unusable areas into valuable living spaces while safeguarding your property from the perils of moisture and dampness.
