A backwater chamber in front of the building offers significant advantages. It enables all drainage points that are at risk of backwater to be safeguarded outside the building at a single central and maintenance-friendly point. Noise nuisance, for example due to pumps or similar, can be ruled out and there is no loss of living space in the building.
Modular backwater chambers consist of a technical module and a chamber module. These are available in different heights and therefore allow an exact adaptation to the individual circumstances.
Modular backwater chambers are available for different installation depths up to 3,348 mm, with upper sections made of grey iron or stainless steel and for different load classes. Several versions are suitable for underground installation and others for floor slab installation.
With a backwater module chamber, not only the building can be drained centrally. Thanks to two lateral inlets, water is also reliably drained from the roof and courtyard.
Application possibilities
As a modular backwater chamber is made up of several components, it can be customised precisely to the individual requirements on site. It is possible to choose between several variants in terms of installation depth, top piece material and load class. This example shows what such an installation situation can look like:
Retrofittable
The standard option is to install the Staufix SWA, Staufix FKA backwater valves and the Pumpfix F backwater pumping station – and this can even be done subsequently many years later.
