The Powerflush™ incorporates the unique Piranha® cutting system – its razor sharp stainless steel blades act like a pair of rotary scissors to cut up waste items, reducing the chance of a blockage. The Powerflush™is compact and easy to install, discharging to the right or left.

The AquaFlush™ is a fully automatic pumping system specifically designed for pumping grey water when gravity drainage is not possible or economical to install.

The system is suitable for installing either at the initial building stage or retro fitting to existing buildings and can accept waste connections from a sink, washing machine, dishwasher or similar.

New Build Basements

Wykamol cavity drain membranes for external use

When constructing a new basement, it is normal practice to install the waterproofing on the "positive" side i.e. on the exterior wall of the basement.

Traditionally bitumous protection sheets or liquid asphalt products have been used for the waterproofing of new-build basements in this way. However, problems with adhesion, jointing, and temperature tolerance are often experienced with these types of product. for this reason, studded cavity drainage membranes such as geodrain and ms500 are increasingly becoming the products of choice for the waterproofing of basements during the construction process, providing a watertight yet flexible barrier between the ground and the external wall.

External drained waterproofing for the new build basements

Structures that are earth retaining can be damaged by moisture penetration from the outside or by water under hydrostatic pressure.

Wykamol membranes are available as geocomposites to deal with such problems.

They act as a waterproof drainage layer, and quickly remove the water to suitable drainage around the structure.

They prevent the build-up of hydrostatic pressure on the structure and filter the water via an integral polypropylene filter layer.

This prevents the fine ground particles from blocking the drainage facility and avoids destabilising the soil.
