Crystal Damp Proofing & Basements is employing a selection of products from the Wykamol-Triton range. And while the company has undertaken many larger scale projects across the South-East since it was set up three years ago, the 40-year-old residential property its team is currently making progress on, is unusual in featuring existing basement areas both beneath the house and to the rear.
The curved outside lightwell and the main sub-structure had both suffered long-term problems with damp and are receiving similar treatments in the form of the C20 and CM8 studded drainage membranes, installed across the concrete floor slabs and blockwork walls respectively: offering a permanent remedy to penetrating damp.
The BBA approved Wykamol-Triton CM8 and CM20 Waterproofing Membranes – manufactured from high density polyethylene - are routinely specified as an extra layer of protection for the walls and floors of cellars and basements, with their studded form allowing any water to be directed into perimeter channels and then a sump, which is automatically emptied by an electric pump. www.wykamol.com
