Newton Basedrain - Drainage Channel

What is it? NEWTON BASEDRAIN is a drainage conduit that sits in the floor next to the wall. It is designed to intercept water coming in under pressure at the wall floor junction and drain it away using a pump solution (see the NEWTON TITAN Sump Pump) or to natural drainage.

Why use Newton Basedrain?

1. Newton Basedrain collects water from the wall Cavity Membrane (see NEWTON SYSTEM 500) and disperses it more efficiently without fear of silting or clogging.
2. It also allows cavity Drain Membrane to be used in isolation on the wall causing concern without necessarily having to take the membrane over all the walls and the floor*.
3. It can be used in situations where it is difficult or impossible to take a Newton Flooring Membrane over the floor.*
   

NEWTON SYSTEM 500 incorporates Newton Basedrain:

Application of NEWTON BASEDRAIN with NEWTON 500 Flooring Membranes:

Fig 1. and Fig. 2. demonstrate NEWTON BASEDRAIN used in conjunction with the NEWTON SYSTEM 500 family of membranes.

Using NEWTON BASEDRAIN with no Flooring Membrane:

In some situations, it is not possible to have a Newton damp-proof membrane laid to the floor, e.g. where head room is restricted or door and door-frame alterations hamper.

With NEWTON BASEDRAIN you can use NEWTON 500 membranes without necessarily having to go over the floor with membrane.*

Application Notes:

1. NEWTON BASEDRAIN should be inserted on a shallow bed of 20mm stone, with stone in-fill to the side of the Basedrain to prevent capillary action to the slab.
2. In the example (Fig.2.), NEWTON BASEDRAIN is inserted in the slab and is made good with 50mm of screed
3. In the example (Fig.2.), the screed repair and the slab are coated with an impermeable epoxy coating to seal the floor from residual damp and vapour.
4. NEWTON BASEDRAIN should be drained to either a natural drainage system or a pumped system such as the NEWTON TITAN sump/pump.

In situations where there is (or is potential for) water rising through the area of the flooring, a suitable Newton damp proof flooring membrane or Epoxy paint must be used*.
