Wide profile membrane forms a stepped dpc in all non-ground retaining walls one course above slab level, and will later be lapped down and sealed to a cavity drainage dpm. Weep holes are formed in the bottom course below the dpc, allowing ground water to safely drain into the periphery WaterGuard.

ThermalDry lines the ground retaining structural walls, directing any ground water seepage down into the WaterGuard located at the 'low point' within the cavity, with wide profile membrane forming a cavity tray and stepped dpc, over and through the internal leaf, which again has weep holes within, and from there is linked to the cavity drainage dpm, which can either sit high on a sacrificial screed or structural insulation to raise the dpm over the level of the channels.

Wall ties are fitted into sealed plugs fitted by Trace, supporting the inner leaf, and the wide profile membrane cavity tray/dpc is left ready to be linked to the cavity drainage dpm.

WaterGuard is included within the cavity around the full perimeter, including areas of low external ground level, for complete protection, particularly where ground levels are close to floor level. In this instance the channels are linked to the drains without recourse to pumps.
