When waterproofing a basement or cellar with a cavity drain membrane system, you need to install a basement drainage system to deal with any water ingress and keep the environment dry. This drainage system is made up of two key components - a sump and pump system and basement drainage channels. The drainage channels transport any water entering the structure to the sump chamber. Drainage channels are installed around the perimeter of a basement or cellar. They feature a number of holes that allow any water from the cavity drain membrane to enter the channel.

One of the most important aspects of a cavity drainage system is the basement sump and pump system. It is designed to safely remove groundwater from within basements and cellars, including any water collected from cavity drain membranes. As part of the system you have a sump chamber and a sump pump. The sump chamber collects any water that drains from the cavity membranes via drainage channels. A submersible pump then moves the water along pipes to a suitable evacuation point. The pipes are fitted with one-way valves to stop water flowing back into the basement.

Permagard stock a range of products that help maintain a basic floor substrate and keep it in good condition. We can ensure that flooring is easy to clean, provides a sound base for further finishes to be applied, and is fully protected from rising damp. A final epoxy resin decorative finish is highly desirable, particularly in commercial and industrial premises. Epoxy flooring can also be made safer by the application of anti slip finishes. Epoxy resin floor coatings provide hard wearing surfaces which are ideal for most industrial environments and can be used where a seamless epoxy flooring solution is required.

Many of these wood rots are superficial and do not affect the strength or integrity of the timber, such as surface moulds which form greenish or black, occasionally yellow, powdery growth which are easily brushed or planed away. These superficial fungi do not confine themselves to just timber, they can occur on damp plaster, wallpaper and carpets, their main significance is that their presence indicates very damp conditions. To treat these superficial rots and moulds, we suggest the application of a wood rot treatment for example Multicide which is a surface biocide that will kill the rot/ mould that is present and prevent the re-occurrence if the damp is solved.

Green roofs are a fantastic addition to any property, commercial or residential. They deliver numerous practical benefits as well as looking attractive and supporting local wildlife. PermaSEAL green roof systems allow you to waterproof and effectively store and drain away water in order for your green roof to thrive or paving to remain strong. Our green roofs are suitable for homes, garages, sheds, paving and deck drainage applications as well as larger commercial projects. Whether you require an extensive or intensive green roof, walkable or drivable paving or a simple gravel filled deck finish, we stock the appropriate waterproofing layer and drainage membrane.

Permagard stock a range of concrete repair products for many different applications. Our concrete repair products can be used internally or externally on floors, walls as well as in overhead applications. Despite high quality construction and resistance, damage can occur to concrete. This makes it necessary to provide additional protection and carry out concrete repairs using a concrete repair mortar. Different internal and external influences can have a long-term effect on the resistance of concrete.

Rising damp is when moisture from the ground travels up the walls of a building through capillary action. When this happens, you are likely to see signs of rising damp on internal walls like staining and salt deposits. The excess moisture in the wall can cause internal damage to plaster, paint and wallpaper as well as external damage. The best way to treat rising damp is by installing a new damp proof course (DPC) through chemical injection. A chemical damp proof injection forms a new DPC that prevents water from rising up from the ground.

It is important to eradicate wood boring beetles before they do permanent damage to your timber. This starts with identifying the type of beetle and selecting the appropriate woodworm treatment. In the UK, we have three main wood boring insects, the Common Furniture Beetle, the Longhorn Beetle and the Death Watch Beetle. Without the correct diagnosis of the type of infestation, the woodworm prevention carried out may not be sufficient to treat and eradicate the infestation. The most common form of wood boring insect is the Common Furniture Beetle.

Permagard stock a wide range of structural repair products to deal with a whole range of issues. Our professional products provide solutions to cavity wall tie corrosion, cracks in walls, bowing & bulging walls and damage to concrete. Cavity wall tie corrosion occurs when the original wall ties used in the construction start to corrode and de-bond from the substrate around them. This wall tie failure leads to horizontal cracks in the masonry, which are often first noticed on the exterior of the property.

Water ingress can cause severe damage to a property, even structural failure. This often leads to major repair costs for the owners. You can use damp proofing products to prevent and control water ingress into a property and protect against these risks. Our technical staff are able to advise you on all aspects of damp proofing and structural waterproofing, for any job large or small. We will make sure you have the right damp proofing product to get the job done. If you need help with a specification, our team are here to help.

Timber is a fantastic material, it is however vulnerable to attack from insects, damp and fungi. It needs protection from all of these to extend its working life. We have a comprehensive range of high quality timber treatment products to help protect timber both in the home and garden from these problems. As well as professional wood preservatives, we also stock Lignum products including timber fungicides and woodworm treatment.

Damp proofing membranes are the easier, faster and more reliable way to damp proof properties. They can be used on walls after the installation of a new DPC or to provide a key, or as a DPM with a concrete slab. At Permagard, we sell a variety of high quality damp proofing membranes. Different types of damp proofing membranes are available depending on the intended use, finish required and the amount of damp and contaminates you need to control. We stock damp proofing membranes with an overall sheet thickness of between 0.5mm - 1mm and with varying stud sizes from 1mm - 8mm.

Whether applied by vacuum pressure treatment or the dipping process, industrial wood preservative can be used to increase the natural durability of timber against fungal and insect attack. Timbers treated with an industrial timber treatment are ideal for all kinds of construction, especially wood used in gardens and landscaping, playing apparatus, posts, palisades, fences, decking, garden furniture and many other applications. We suggest timber is treated with our Universal Wood Preservative ready to use or concentrated version for protection against fungi, mould and wood boring insects.
