Basements

Basements have to keep groundwater out while meeting the same thermal and structural requirements as the rest of the house. This category holds our basement detail set, including waterproofed walls and floors and internal drainage, such as a drainage channel running to a concrete sump. Use the details as a starting point and develop the waterproofing design with a specialist. The library holds 800+ details in total, in CAD, Revit and SketchUp.

What are Type A, B and C waterproofing? BS 8102 sets out three types: Type A is a barrier (tanking) applied to the structure, Type B relies on the structure itself being water-resistant, and Type C is a drained cavity system that collects water and removes it, often via a sump and pump.

Who should design basement waterproofing? BS 8102 recommends a waterproofing design specialist. Ground conditions, water table and the intended use of the space all affect the design.
