Basement drains are used for draining lower level components. They collect surface water and discharge this. In addition, further fixtures...

Draining wastewater professionally Everything the specialist needs to know Waterproofing options In rooms with a high moisture level, such as bathrooms, spas, washrooms or industrial kitchens in particular, high demands are made on waterproofing. The assumption that ceramic floors are watertight is often a mistake. The resulting decision to do without sealing measures frequently leads to unpredictable consequences such as, cracked joints, frost damage, mould formation or corrosion. For this reason, the EN 1253 standard requires a waterproofing seal to be installed under ceramic and natural stone...
