How do Newton waterproofing systems work?
A. Newton waterproofing systems are designed to accept water that enters at known weaknesses in the structure by strategically placing voids at known points of water ingress. Newton Basedrain is placed at the wall/floor junction and Newton Floordrain is placed above horizontal construction joints. The voids created depressurise the ingressing water and divert it to safe forms of drainage such as Newton pumping systems or gravity drainage downhill of the slab/raft. Newton waterproofing wall and floor membranes are installed to the walls and floor to create a separation layer between the wet/damp outer structure and the dry habitable area.
