Video 2: Waterproofing a basement

This video is the 2nd in my series, showing how the waterproofing membrane is laid in a basement. Insulation is laid over a concrete base and a channel is formed to run around the outside of the floor. The drainage channel can lead to a sump pump or to a standard drain, depending on the circumstances. Plastic waterproofing membranes are fixed to the walls and laid over the insulation, forming a sealed internal space, any water that penetrated the concrete to the floor or the brick and block walls, will fall to the gully and drain away.

Brilliant and informative video, thanks for posting.

Can I ask whats below the insulation? Is it just a concrete floor?

Many thanks.
