It is not unusual that the older type of houses in South Manchester and Cheshire, for example the Victorian semi or terraces, suffer from dampness - particularly in the cellar where the house is nearest to the water table. Chestergate specialises in controlling the water that can penetrate your cellar by using time-proven unique systems designed to protect the internal fabric of your cellar or basement from dampness by applying a system that will allow equalisation of water pressure ensuring walls and masonry can breath naturally.
Dampness is the main reason many people leave their cellars or basements unused. Anything which is stored there will become mouldy and electronic equipment will be damaged. In order to utilise this potential extra luxury to your house, dampness prevention is of course very important.
We can transform what was once a damp, useless space into a whole new area to your home which you can be proud of for years to come.
 

Delta Sump + Pump
The Delta Sump is designed to collect ground water from a cavity drainage membrane system.

Ground water enters via the drained cavity of the membrane system and collects through the top opening of the Delta Sump. The water is then pumped by a float activated submersible pump to mains drainage or other suitable outlet.

 

To enhance the reliability of this system, various accessories are available including high level alarms, battery back up systems, and non return valves.

BATTERY BACK UP
Delta Power Pack
(Pictured left) This has been designed to run the pump in the event of mains power failure.

The back up unit is continually being trickle charged under normal conditions. Once mains power has failed, the unit will automatically switch over to battery power to enable the pump to run when required, e.g. high water ingress being coincident with a power cut. The power pack will pump approx 6,500 litres on back up.
 

Delta Power Plus
(Pictured right) If greater back up capacity is required, this can be upgraded by adding Delta Power Plus units. Up to ten units can be added. One extra unit will pump approx. 20,000 litres.

HIGH LEVEL ALARM
This system will warn if a high level situation occurs. It is supplied with a rechargeable battery so the alarm will still sound in the case of mains power failure. An optional remote alarm can be fitted if required.
