Adequate servicing and maintenance of the Sumps, Pumps and Drainage Channels of a Cavity Drain Membrane (Type C) Waterproofing System is essential to ensure the long term efficiency of the installation and your investment.

This maintenance is necessary to ensure the system is free flowing, working to optimum capacity and to prevent the build up of contaminants and free lime which can reduce effectiveness of the system. Service Ports are installed within the drainage channels to provide our specialist technicians access to correctly assess and evaluate the performance of the system. Included within this assessment are the discharge lines from the sump pumps, the submersible pumps themselves, the high water alarm, the drainage channels leading to the sump chamber along with, if fitted, battery backups, control panels and data loggers.

Protectahome provide system maintenance via an optional ongoing contract. With a contract in place, service requirements can be regularly reviewed and any additional flushing or replacement parts can be properly planned and managed.

As each system designed and installed by Protectahome is bespoke and site specific, we adopt a condition based approach rather than scheduling services by calendar month as the maintenance requirements of each installation are equally unique. This can result is significant cost savings to our clients by only servicing systems when necessity dictates.Where a Type C (Drained Protection) Waterproofing System is installed by Protectahome, it is a requirement of the contract and guarantee that regular servicing is carried out.

Servicing of the drainage provisions of a Waterproofing System necessitates partial disassembly of the system to facilitate the service and service checks. We conduct this work in the most efficient manner and using the latest equipment. Subject to accessibility, we use micro CCTV cameras to inspect drainage channels and discharge lines.
