Any form of tanking would have caused stresses on the walls of the cellar when the hydrostatic pressure came to bare and this would have lead to the failure of any such system. The cavity drain membrane system required very little preparation and as it is mechanically fixed and not designed to come under water pressure bonding is not an issue. The walls were dry lined and plastered by the main contractors plastering team who had been trained in the plastering of membranes by Maclennan-LSE
The water still rises around the basement every year but the inside of the cellar is unaffected. Because the system was installed by Maclennan-LSE, a qualified company, the system is guaranteed for 10 years by the GPI insurance scheme which is the only insured scheme available for water proofing. The guarantee is renewable every 10 years if a service agreement is entered into. Maclennan-LSE are a leading water proofing specialist and Maclennan-LSE Membrane system approved designers and installers covering London and the South of England including: Hampshire, Wiltshire, Dorset, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and surrounds.
