WYKAMOL AQUACHANNEL is a P.V.C drainage conduit designed for the control of water ingress in below ground situations. WYKAMOL AQUACHANNEL is fitted around the perimeterof the floor at the vulnerable wall/floor junction.

WYKAMOL AQUACHANNEL can be used in most waterproofing situations, and is particularly suited for use in conjunction with WYKAMOL Cavity Drain Membrane systems. Water entering the building through the walls is controlled behind the Membrane and diverted to the Aquachannel at the base of the wall. The water enters the Aquachannel through pre-drilled 19mm drainage holes set 70mm apart along its length and is then diverted to a suitable drainage point, either natural or a sump and mechanical pump (see WYKAMOL Aqua Pump). Jetting eyes and channel to sump connectors can also be fitted into the perimeter drainage system to enable the Aquachannel to be cleaned periodically if necessary. In situations where an existing floor slab/screed is solid and showing no signs of water ingress, cracking or de-bonding, the installation of Aquachannel can eliminate the need for WYKAMOL Cavity Drain membrane on the floor, proving beneficial in areas of limited headroom. The application of a liquid waterproof coating to the existing floor eg.(technoseal DPM) would be recommended to act as a moisture suppressant.
