Most of the construction organizations offering the construction of a bath do not have options with the presence of a drain hole. Many projects are offered without plum. As a result, the question increasingly arises – whether the drain hole for the bath is needed and how to arrange it correctly?
If the drain system is not provided in the project of the bathhouse, then the water will accumulate in the ground through the flooring and not leave. As a result, the following troubles can be obtained: mold will form on the flooring, and it will require urgent replacement; an unpleasant odor is formed in the entire room, which is difficult to remove.
The design of the drain hole is influenced by several factors that are taken into account in the construction of any drain system. Groundwater level, amount and volume of water consumed, soil composition. With independent construction of the drain hole, it is necessary to carefully comply with the construction and technical standards and requirements, and also not to forget sanitary standards. Subject to all requirements, in the future, it is not necessary to dismantle the drain system and the design of the bath from destruction.
There are several options for casting water from the bath: drainage system; autonomous system; Sliding pit.
The most optimal and inexpensive option would be the installation of a drain pit. This option can be made both independently and with the help of specialists and special equipment. Everything will depend on the material used in the construction.
The state of the soil will have a strong influence on the choice of material. If there is loam and sandstone in the soil, then additional fortifications for the pit are not required. With loose soil, additional strengthening will be required so that the soil does not fall into the pit and does not clog it.
Many, as a fortification, use metal barrels. This type of strengthening is not reliable, since when soil freezing, the earth can push the barrel to the surface. For a durable and reliable option for strengthening the walls of the pit, brick is best suited.
So that the water is better to be filtered and does not linger in the pit, it is necessary to put the masonry of the drain hole with the gaps in a checkerboard pattern about 3 centimeters. Large gaps will not contribute to better filtering. Whatever materials would be chosen, it is necessary to strictly comply with the established technical conditions. Otherwise, the drain pit will cause only troubles.
