The Newton CDM System, installed by Dampcoursing Ltd.! 💪

Our comprehensive Type C waterproofing system will usually be suggested as one of the forms of waterproofing required to provide superior levels of protection against water ingress and where a completely dry internal environment is required.

This maintainable basement waterproofing solution is ideal for both new-build basements and refurbishment projects. The system comprises of BBA approved cavity drain membranes, drainage conduits, sump chambers, pumps, and associated control and telemetry systems.

A combination of our decades of basement waterproofing experience with our industry-leading products, the CDM System includes a range of British Board of Agrément certified cavity drainage membrane.

These membranes, coupled with the bespoke sump and pump configurations, backup systems, telemetry and ancillary options, makes it the most reliable and maintainable waterproofing solution for any habitable space below ground.

Fantastic work, Dampcoursing!

Check out these HydroBond 402 installation pictures from Premier 1st for Property Care, from their site in Truro!

Despite being called onto this project for two new-build properties at a very late stage, Premier are still providing a full waterproofing specification for the main contractor, designing a system that complies with British Standard 8102:2022.

The first stage is to provide an external Type A waterproof barrier to the new basement areas using HydroBond 402. The product is a high-performance sheet membrane for the external waterproofing of below-ground foundation structures, basements, water holding tanks, culverts and tunnel bases.

Providing a complete waterproof envelope to this structure, HydroBond 402's flexibility gives it excellent crack-bridging capability over construction joints and cracks within the concrete.

This results in a high-strength bond with exceptional peel adhesion qualities, and so prevents migration of water between the concrete and the membrane, even if the membrane is damaged.

Excellent work by the Premier team!

PROJECT PROFILE | Refurbishing a Flooded Retail Basement, Chelsea.

Our Specialist Contractor Garratts Damp & Timber LTD provided their waterproofing expertise on the refurbishment of this high-end structure in the prestigious London Borough of Chelsea, as the basement area was experiencing high volumes of water ingress.

By performing a flood simulation, Garratts identified water was entering via defects in the shop front and pavement light wells. It was then travelling along a concealed steel joist and entering the centre of the basement.

Garratt’s designed a bespoke metal bund system to resolve the defects and prevent further water ingress. Utilising Type A products like our HydroCoat 107 Elastic 2K, as well as our CDM System for cavity drain waterproofing, Garratts delivered a bespoke waterproofing solution.

The solution also delivered a completely dry, Grade 3 internal environment, meeting the requirements of British Standard 8102 for the previously flooded shop basement.

More training at the Newton HQ in Kent, this time for Newton Specialist Contractor Shield Preservation.

Yesterday, a large group of the Shield Preservation team visited our Tonbridge office for comprehensive training on PolyMaxx HA, our newest system for deck and flat roof waterproofing.

The PolyMaxx HA System is a BBA approved, fully bonded, reinforced and seamless waterproofing system for roofs (including blue/green roof structures), balconies, podium decks and structural slabs.

Where correctly detailed and installed, PolyMaxx HA provides an extremely durable waterproof coating that is capable of long-term performance in exposed and foot traffic conditions.

The Shield team got hands-on with the new product, as well as benefiting from technical presentations from Site Support Manager and PolyMaxx expert Gary!

PROJECT UPDATE | Newton Specialist Contractor Maclennan are waterproofing this basement beneath a 20th Century Theatre in London.

The MacLennan team are making great progress on this project. The Newton CDM system is being installed, including drainage channels and inspection ports which are key components for long-term performance and compliance.

Rather than cutting drainage channels into the concrete slab, an on-the-slab channel installation is a much simpler and more cost-effective method, and works seamlessly with our grooved XPS insulation. This method creates a protected recessed space and adds insulation benefits, even if it slightly raises the floor level.

Inspection ports in the drainage system also ensure the channels are serviceable in future, and fully compliant with the requirements of BS 8102:2022 for repairability and maintenance.

Engaging in preventative maintenance and regular servicing in future will keep the pumps and drainage channels working efficiently, preventing potential costly issues.

Great work, MacLennan!

Is your basement waterproofing system protected when the power goes out?

For many projects, a sump and pump system is the heart of a Type C waterproofing solution, quietly managing groundwater and keeping spaces dry. However, without backup power even the most robust pumping system can stop working instantly.

A battery backup system ensures your pumps can continue to operate during power outages by using an inverter to automatically switch from mains power to stored energy.

This means not just continued protection against flooding and seamless, automatic pump operation, but also ensures your system is aligned with best practice in waterproofing safety.

Battery backup isn't an optional extra, it's an essential part of a robust and compliant waterproofing strategy.
