Remedial Waterproofing Case Study from Bayset

Terraced House, Highgate Hill, Brisbane
Treating extensive flood damage

This terraced house suffered from substantial leaking during very heavy rain. Newton System 500 was specified because remediation of the externally applied membrane would require substantial excavation, which was simply not possible

Project Description
The home is built on a terraced block, sloping from ground level at the front, down to the lower level at the rear, with the downstairs level dedicated to short-term accommodation for international students.

The lower level of the property experienced substantial leaking during very heavy rain events, and was reported that in some instances the leaking was enough to cause a solid stream of water that flowed down the hallway and out the back door!

Newton 500 was specified because remediation of the externally applied membrane would require substantial excavation, which was simply not practical. On top of this, the internal walls required repair from water damage anyway, and this could be addressed with the installation of the System 500.
