Strip Drain, Subsoil Drainage & Waterproofing Installation – Kellyville NSW 2155
Diagnosis: Surface Water & Ground Moisture
At this Kellyville NSW 2155 property, water was pooling around the front wall and top of the stairs. Managing both surface rainwater and underground soil moisture required a multi-layered drainage system connected directly to the existing stormwater network.
Class B Strip Drain Installation
-
Surface Water Capture: Installed 5.5 metres of heavy-duty Class B strip drainage to intercept surface water before it reached the house.
-
Stable Foundation: Excavated the area and prepared a compacted blue metal base to keep the channel level and ensure proper fall.
-
Stormwater Connection: Concreted the strip drain securely into place and connected it directly to the property's existing stormwater system.
Wall Waterproofing & Protection
-
Excavated the front wall down to its foundation to clean the surface and apply an external waterproofing membrane.
-
Protected the membrane with black plastic and Coreflute panels to prevent physical damage from soil and rocks during trench backfilling.
Herringbone Subsoil Drainage
-
Installed a herringbone subsoil drainage network around the area to capture groundwater moving beneath the surface.
-
Routed multiple collection branches into the main stormwater line, keeping saturated soil away from underground building walls.
Stairs Strip Drain
-
Installed a dedicated strip drain at the top of the stairs (left-hand side) to block surface runoff from entering unwanted areas.
-
Positioned the drain with precise fall and connected it straight into the existing stormwater infrastructure before backfilling and compacting.
Long-Term Value
Combining surface strip drains, herringbone subsoil drainage, and external waterproofing provides comprehensive protection against water ingress. Intercepting surface runoff and groundwater early protects structural walls, stops recurring dampness, and avoids expensive repairs down the road.
