One of the biggest growth areas for structural waterproofing has been the Type C waterproofing sector using Cavity drain membrane systems. These normally rely on a pump unless there is natural gravity drainage to the property.

The pumps need to be fool proof in design and maintenance, and over the years improvements in the design where we are today.

The double pump systems are standard with specialist battery back up and alarm systems included. Care must be taken to ensure that the correct system is installed at retrofit stage to ensure that the pumps can deal with either the Ground or Foul water to the property.

Wykamol have just updated their new pump drainage brochure with all the relevant products available in this sector as well as the correct pump capacity and associated systems.

Now contractors and specifiers alike can decide on which system would be best suited to the property they are dealing with from the new Prosump Pump system with extended neck, which can be cut down to suit floor levels to the foul pumping stations in the range for domestic and commercial spaces.

What’s key for all these pumps is making sure there is a continual power supply to enable these systems to work. In the brochure, we cover this with a range of differing battery back up systems to suit all the ranges of pumps.

From 30 minutes continual pumping to over 4 hours, we have the solution to suit your needs. Also, the correct pipework kits are crucial to ensure that the water or foul can be taken away under pressure to drains at a higher level.

Have a read of this great document and help yourself decide which station is suited to your particular project.
