Enkadrain- Sub-surface Drainage, Building Envelope, Sidewall Drain

Building Envelope, Mortar Catch

Many building failures are due to moisture problems from both internal moisture condensation and the natural porosity of brick masonry construction. Water penetration through brick walls is the most common cause of problems in brick construction.

Developed exclusively for the prevention of moisture infiltration in masonry applications, Enkadrain provides the most effective, popular and cost competitive way to make sure cavity walls drain properly. For use at all flashing locations, such as cavity, composite, single width and veneer applications, the polymer core geomatrix design prevents mortar droppings from blocking weep vents and allows moisture to seep down and migrate out of the wall through the weep holes. The open, entangled net system also allows proper air movement  in and out of the cavity which eliminates pressure differentials that force moisture into the wall, aids in rapid drying of the wall, and prevents conditions which may promote mold growth, efflorescence, spalling and decay.

Sub-surface Drainage

Enkadrain mats have 30 years of proven performance. This family of subsurface drainage composites is known for quality products and high-performance water and moisture management in foundation walls, green roofs, ICFS, planters, plaza decks, tunnels, and many other industrial and civil engineering applications. 

Key performance features of Enkadrain are:

• Lie flat and don't curl (see comparison in photo)
• Proven and predictable flow rates
• Flexible and conformable to any surface
• Easy vertical and horizontal installation
• Variety of products available

Sidewall Drainage

Prolonged moisture and wet soil against any structure below grade is simply unacceptable.The best solution, proven for over 30 years, is effective, easy to work with and eco-friendly. Enkadrain provides a lightweight and predictable drainage solution compared to traditional sand and gravel drains and is designed to relieve hydrostatic pressure in soils abutting below grade structures. The Enkadrain 3000R series adds value to your structure with multiple benefits:

• Flexible and conformable
• Proven and predictable flow rates
• Protects external waterproofing layer
• Backfill directly against matting
• No sharp edges - safer for installers to handle
• Made with post-industrial recycled content
• 20 Year performance guarantee

Enkadrain is available with a filter fabric on one or two sides. It is a fast and reliable way to install effective drainage in vertical applications.

Paver Drainage

Horizontal drainage requires a solution that will both protect the membrane and provide a consistent and continuous pathway for water to escape.

Enkadrain 3000R series drainage products are highly desirable for horizontal applications such as plaza decks because they lay completely flat – which is desirable for easy handling and faster installation.

Key benefits of using Enkadrain vs. rigid, cuspated drains in horizontal applications:

• Lays completely flat for easy seaming
• Flexible and conformable to irregular surfaces and obstacles
• Longer and wider rolls reduce installation costs
• Protects waterproofing during and after backfill
• No sharp edges - safer for installers to handle
• 95% open for multi-directional flow
• Will not trap water behind hard, plastic sheet
• Continuous flow under high loads, including construction vehicle traffic
• 20 Year performance guarantee

Enkadrain 3000R products are made with recycled polymers and contribute to LEED points. They are available with a filter fabric on one or two sides.
