Clever Shield supplies high-performance basement and cellar drainage channels, designed to effectively manage groundwater and prevent moisture intrusion in below-ground spaces. When used alongside cavity drain membranes, these channels ensure efficient water collection and redirection, protecting basements from water buildup, dampness, and structural damage.
How Basement Drainage Channels Work:
✔ Perimeter Installation – Positioned along the wall-floor junction to capture and direct water ingress. ✔ Water Collection & Redirection – Channels guide water to sump pumps or gravity-fed drainage systems, ensuring efficient removal. ✔ Seamless Cavity Drain Integration – Works in conjunction with waterproof membranes, preventing leaks and hydrostatic pressure buildup.
Types of Basement & Cellar Drainage Channels:
✔ Standard Perimeter Channels – Modular, easy-to-connect channels with optional inspection ports for maintenance. ✔ Slotted Drainage Channels – Allows direct water entry, ideal for high-water ingress areas and doorways. ✔ Channels with Integral Upstands – Flush against the wall membrane for maximum water collection and leak prevention. ✔ High-Capacity Drainage Channels – Designed for areas with high groundwater pressure, compatible with robust sump pump systems.
Installation & Benefits of Drainage Channels:
✔ Early Installation – Incorporated at the beginning of the waterproofing process for seamless water management. ✔ Hidden Integration – Installed within concrete screeds or behind finishing layers, ensuring a clean, professional look. ✔ Uninterrupted Water Flow – Prevents water ingress and reduces hydrostatic pressure, protecting foundations from long-term damage.
Why Use Drainage Channels in Basement Waterproofing?
✔ Prevents Water Buildup – Directs moisture away from the structure, reducing damp risks. ✔ Protects Foundations – Minimizes hydrostatic pressure, safeguarding walls and floors from water-induced stress. ✔ Works with Cavity Drain Systems – Ensures complete moisture control, preventing leaks and damp-related damage.
