Waterproofing against Floor Drain

[Kalsson]

Hi, I'm wondering if someone can answer if this could have been correctly done for that time
Renovated around 2001 by craftsmen
It looks like there's a rolled waterproof layer towards the drain but I don't see any drain collar. But was there any rollable waterproof layer that could be applied directly to the drain? Or could there be some collar/membrane that is not visible?

Your waterproofing is on its last legs, what you can do is lightly scrub around the drain with just water and a brush, then go and buy roll-on waterproofing and brush it on, or are you planning to redo it soon?

Was only rollable then, no brunns ark existed then

Thanks for the response. Just bought a house and discovered 6 days after moving in that there was a painted-over moisture stain under the bathroom. And have been having trouble with the insurance company since June. They say that a brunsmanchett is missing.
That's why I'm asking around a bit.

BKR still has old industry regulations on its website, so I suggest you start by reading the one that was in effect when the bathroom was renovated.

Do you know what manufacturer it could be for the sealing layer? I understand it's hard to see, but if you had to guess. Need to contact the manufacturer to get installation instructions from that time and show this to the insurance company.

Thanks for the response, I have read there and understand that it is the waterproofing supplier who decides how it should be installed against the drain, so I will try to find out which manufacturer of the waterproofing I have.

To the left of the well, there is something that says "försegling" among other things. Is there anything else that could reveal a manufacturer?

I recognize the tape from when I used to work with it, though I can't place it right now, but there weren't that many manufacturers at that time.
Höganäs?

Will check on it and take a picture to post 👍🏼

I'll take a picture of the tape and post it so it's easier to see 👍🏼

It was only available in roll form then, no brunns ark existed back then.

It was brunnsmanshett that was used then too. So there is no correct waterproofing here.

BUT this looks like it's in a basement or similar space? Then, if it's a space at risk for external moisture (like a basement with an uninsulated slab), you shouldn't have waterproofing. It can (but is not required) be good to have waterproofing just around a drain at the shower area.

Okey, it's a bathroom on the upper floor. But I understand from what I've read that there were different Manchetter/membranes?

Regardless, the waterproofing has long passed its expiration date, so getting anything from the insurance company seems hopeless, especially since it wasn't done according to the rules that applied in 2001.

It will likely be difficult to take action against the seller too, since the defect could easily have been discovered during an inspection, but you can always complain to the seller and demand something back...

The insurance company says 25 years. I understand there are many deductions, but maybe you can get a little for demolition etc.
What indicates that it wasn't done according to the rules in 2001?
