Cellar Waterproofing | Armsworth House
Introduction
Although there has been a substantial property on the site since 1791, Armsworth House in Hampshire dates from circa 1862. MacLennan were called in to provide internal cellar waterproofing to the vaulted winebasement cellar. Whilst there has been no history of flooding in this cellar, the client required it to be completely waterproofed and dry from any moisture or water, including condensation.
Methodology
The cellar is of brick construction with a vaulted ceiling and brick paviour flooring. MacLennan technicians formed a sump hole and installed the sump chamber and sump pumps. We also formed the chase and installed Maclennan’s basedrain channels into the floor chase, before installing Maclennan mesh membrane to the floors, walls, wine bin shelves and dividers ensuring all sides were done up to the vault crowns. Once all the membrane had been installed we fitted plasterboard to the walls and plastered all vertical and horizontal surfaces including the vault crowns and laid flooring grade chipboard to the floors.
Result
Our client required the vault to be a usable addition to their property and the result of using experienced specialists such as Maclennan ensured that the vault cellar was completely waterproofed, with pumps to ensure any water coming into the property is pumped out before any damage can be done to the vault.
