Newton Waterproofing and Wykamol: Experts in Type C Waterproofing Solutions
Newton Waterproofing and Wykamol are leading brands in the field of Type C waterproofing solutions, specialising in "drained protection" systems that effectively manage water ingress in below-ground structures. According to British Standard 8102:2022, Type C waterproofing accepts water leaking through the structure into voids and air spaces created by strategically placed cavity drain membranes, allowing for safe drainage and removal of water from the property.
Why Choose Type C Waterproofing?
Type C waterproofing is essential for creating dry, habitable spaces below ground. By utilising advanced membranes, these systems depressurise incoming water, directing it away from the structure and preventing water buildup. This approach not only protects against water damage but also enhances the comfort and usability of basement areas.
Product Offerings
Both brands provide a comprehensive suite of products designed to deliver effective Type C waterproofing solutions:
-
Membranes: High-quality cavity drain membranes that create voids for water to flow into, ensuring optimal drainage.
-
Fixing Tapes and Plugs: Essential components for securing membranes and ensuring airtight seals at joints and penetrations.
-
Floor Drainage Systems: Efficient systems that channel water away from floors, preventing pooling and ensuring a dry environment.
-
Sump Pumps and Pipework: Reliable sump pumps designed to remove accumulated water, paired with robust pipework for effective drainage.
-
Bespoke Configurations: Customisable sump and pump setups, including backup systems and telemetry options, for tailored waterproofing solutions.
Combining Expertise and Innovation
With decades of experience in basement waterproofing, Wykamol and Newton Waterproofing leverage their industry-leading products to offer the most reliable and maintainable solutions. Their systems are designed not just to protect but to enhance the usability of below-ground spaces, making them ideal for homes, offices, and storage areas.
Conclusion
For effective Type C waterproofing solutions, Newton Waterproofing and Wykamol provide the expertise and innovative products needed to safeguard your below-ground spaces. Trust these leading brands to deliver comprehensive systems that ensure your property remains dry and comfortable, no matter the conditions outside.

Newton CDM System - Overview
The Newton Cavity Drain Membrane (CDM) System is a maintainable basement waterproofing solution, certified to BES 6001 by BRE Global, ideal for new-build basements and refurbishment projects.
The four components of the Newton CDM system
Comprising of four components: Cavity Drain Membranes, Drainage, Pumps and Control Systems, the Newton CDM System complies with the British Standard for Waterproofing and provides a Grade 3 habitable internal environment.
Cavity Drain Membranes and Drainage
Cavity drain membrane (CDM) systems are a maintainable, internal basement waterproofing solution, suitable for protecting below-ground environments against water that has penetrated through the structure. CDM Systems are known as ‘Type C’ waterproofing in British Standard 8102:2022 and are ideal for new-build, refurbishment and historic/listed projects.
Known as the most failsafe form of waterproofing, the cavity drain membranes capture ingressing water at the point of ingress, then the CDM drainage system manages and directs the water to an integral pumping system or drainage outlet for safe removal.
The Newton PAC-500 System also provides a combined CDM waterproofing and gas proofing system for below ground spaces that are at risk from ground gases.
Pumps and Control Systems
Once the water has been captured by the cavity drain membranes and drainage channels, it needs to be safely removed. The Titan Range is a packaged sump chamber and pump system designed specifically to be used with the Newton CDM System. Compatible with a variety of Newton pumps, it is ideal for almost any cavity drain waterproofing system.
