Choosing the Right System
Many properties have damp, unused basements and
cellars. With the use of the correct waterproofing
system, these can be transformed into wonderful
new living spaces. Whether it is a new bedroom,
bathroom, or even a new kitchen, a dry and refurbished
basement will certainly add value to your property.
The
Cavity Drainage Membrane (CDM) system provides
an exceptionally fast, convenient method of waterproofing
walls, floors and ceilings on new build and refurbishment
projects. The membrane is attached to walls and
ceilings by means of special sealed fixing plugs.
While on the floor there is normally no need for
any form of fixing.
CDM
can be covered with plasterboard, dry lining,
screed or a floating timber floor. If any free
water enters the cavity behind the membrane then
a drainage facility, possibly incorporating a
sump and pump, will need to be built in.
