Protection against moisture drainage device for the foundation

foundation drainage is needed to protect the house from moisture in it, basements or ground floors.

best thing to do foundation drainage at the stage of building a house, becausein any case it will be necessary.

Perhaps you have on the site provided for waterproofing, but it alone is unlikely to cope with the full protection of the water.

drain near the house is required if:

• in your home or basement is a cellar;
• suchenie soil at the site of the construction of your house is raised;
• for buildings in clay soils;
• if installed in the basement of the electrical system, which can not prevent the ingress of moisture.

foundation drainage device - a rather expensive procedure, if you order it from the experts, however, it is not so difficult to do it with their own hands.

Homemade drainage will meet SNIP as well as tailor-made.

In this article you will learn all the stages of laying drainage around a private home, and photos and videos to help you do the job more efficiently.

types and device drainage systems

Driving foundation drainage - is connected to the tube enveloping the house around the perimeterso as to obtain a closed system.They are placed at an angle so that water can drain freely.

When you create a system must adhere to the rules SNIP.The SNP can find all the conditions for the device proper drainage system with their own hands.

each of the corners of the drainage system must be equipped with a reservoir for collecting water or, more simply, a well.All excess water will accumulate there.

It can also be done by hand without any problems, or buy ready-made.

from wells and are pipes that output water further so that it was outside the area.

Make drainage of a variety of ways, and depends on how it will look like the system circuit.

examples you can see in the photo.

addition to drainage, should be done waterproofing the basement at home - it will enhance the protection against ingress of water into the system.

most commonly used scheme is as follows: around the building fit the tube at an angle of 5-8 degrees.

Drains are placed around the perimeter of the site so that the entire building, from the top to the bottom of it was "wrapped" around.

main drainage well with this type of a system, and it is located at the end of the system.

It also mounted pump.

To ring drain foundation to function, the pipe should be chosen with the rigidity of the SN6, if there are less then rapidly deteriorate, and drainage will not work.

rezervionnye additional wells are installed at each corner 90 degrees - they prevent the flooding of the water system, as well as collected sludge.

quite popular type of system is to trim the drainage of the foundation.It can be located on the surface and is mounted in the ground.

Surface drainage is a guttering system to help remove the water from the roof and display, as well as in other types of drainage, off-site.

deep drainage is protected against the ingress of moisture in the basement and ground floors of the house.

However, no matter what type of device you choose, first of all you have to do at home base.

to drainage worked efficiently, it will need a thorough cleaning and waterproofing.

Preparing the foundation and installing

system If your foundation is already carried out waterproofing during installation, it must be removed.To do this, dig the foundation and remove the distorted remains of the waterproofing layer.

After that, the foundation should be dry.

If your region warm enough, you can wait until it is dry yourself in the sun (it usually takes about 2 days).If not - it can dry their hands using a heat gun.

is followed by a new waterproofing.Waterproofing as drainage differ for each type of base.

It can be lubricative, penetrating, kraftliner or polyethylene.

most economical waterproofing - using mastic asphalt (back-lining method).

Before applying the waterproofing layer with your hands, you need to round off the corners of the house and then make a defense system against possible damage to the waterproofing layer.

more expensive option - using waterproofing coiled material, typically roofing.

own hands to make it a little harder and more expensive it will come, but like waterproofing will be much more water-resistant, and the likelihood of leakage is much lower.

protection for such sealing is not required.Apply this waterproofing mastic asphalt pretreated foundation.

Roofing felt should be placed on the overlap of 10-20 cm and secured in two layers.

Watch the video on how to properly do the waterproofing of the foundation.

Once the waterproofing is done, you can begin to drain.For different types of foundation piling will be performed in different ways.

So, make drainage for melkozaglublennogo foundation is best at the stage of building a house.

pipes should be placed around the perimeter of the house from the outside.

trench depth for this type of system should not exceed the depth of the foundation sole.The system should be located corners tanks for collecting water.

For slab (monolithic) and the foundation is better to do this system during construction.

complexity slab foundation in the fact that the plate from which it is, move because of the ground motions that provokes the movement and the building itself.

Drainage at the stage laying the foundation slab will help prevent this and make the foundation of the house truly sustainable.

drainage system for this type of foundation is laid around the house in a specially dug trenches, which are indented from the foundation should not be less than 3 meters, according to the SNP.

bottom of the trench is laid brick fight, and then takes cover geotextile - a waterproofing.For this drainage system for water taps are also needed.

Drainage strip foundation is done in much the same.Ditches are dug around the perimeter around the building so that they turned out deeper than the foundation.

bottom and lay out a brick.For this system needs to be done to strengthen the overlap of the base - it is possible to use conventional branches.

The following installation of the system - the pipes and drainage wells.

to make their own hands drainage system, you need the following tools and accessories:

• pipe (preferably polypropylene).These tubes are sold complete with everything you need, so the most important thing - to choose the correct stiffness.It depends on the soil and groundwater, so before you install the system you need to know in advance the composition of the soil, as well as the rigidity of the groundwater;
• brick or rubble;
• river sand;
• barrel from which it will be made well absorption and several rotary wells;
• clips for pipes;
• geoteksil for waterproofing.

Before starting work, see photos and video instructions drainage different type of foundation.

Stages of

Installation of drainage around the building consists of several stages.

First of all, you need to make a pit.

Delves he tilted 5-8 degrees from the top point.The width of the pit depends on the pipe, but it should exceed them by no less than 20 cm - the area after the installation of the system will need to fill up with gravel.

Do not forget that in the corners of the system around the house you will need to make manholes, so in these places ditches should be slightly wider than the rest of the length.

At the bottom of the den need to fill sand layer at 20-30 cm, and then rammed it at the same angle that you have provided to drain the water.

Top sand cushion to be laid geotextile - its size must allow its mounting on the edge of the moat.

on geotextiles need to fill rubble or crushed brick so that the layer turned out to 10-20 cm and a fully closed material.

Now you can install the drainage under the foundation.At the turn of a pipe bends should be done for the wells.

They are made of PVC pipe and connected to the system through the holes, which have to do yourself.

Secure pipes need special clips made of copper.

When drainage device is ready, at the end of the main set well to drain the water.Pit pit close geotextile, and on top of the barrel set with drilled side walls.

At the bottom you need to fill gravel or broken bricks.

The entire system must be installed so as to be closed around the well and to be reduced to this point.Last pipe must be adjacent to the barrel close.

Top design is filled with bricks or rubble and hiding geotextile overlap.

Place the top branches - they will create additional protection.They should be covered with sand again, and then close the soil.

The barrel pump must be inserted to remove excess water from there.

This is the drainage of the house foundation.The device of his own hands - not so difficult.Use the photo and video instructions on every step of the work to make it right.
