Drainage system
To remove excess water accumulated on the site, drainage pipes are used, which are laid in the form of a special system. Such a system is always individual, since it is affected by a natural relief, groundwater level, as well as a slope of the surface of the soil. Drainage systems are mounted quite simply, but at the same time, significant efforts are required for this.
Moisture contained in the ground provokes the appearance of dampness in the basements of buildings and leads to a decrease in the life of many building materials. Of course, the foundation is waterproof during construction, but with a high ground of groundwater, even this may not be saved from humidity. Using a high -quality drainage system of communication, which are underground, will be able to work in normal condition.
If the house has a basement or basement, then drainage is done. In the absence of underground structures, it is made by ring, with a distance of a couple of meters from the building. Modern drainage systems are created from plastic pipes, since they are distinguished by simplicity of maintenance, are not corroded and at the same time reduced the accumulated moisture in a timely and high -quality.
To equip drainage, it is necessary to use special, perforated pipes, laid quite deeply. Since the soil presses on pipes, they apply a corrugated outer layer on top of the usual. To increase the service life of some manufacturers, the pipes are charged into a special geotextile material.
When choosing drainage pipes, you should pay attention to soil features. If the soil is crushed stone, then the filtering layer in perforated pipes is not necessary. With clay soils, pipes with a filter are best combined, which contains coconut fiber. With sandy soil, pipes with geotextile material will be perfect.
Maximum moisture protection is provided by a combined drainage system, including parts of the deep and surface system. Thanks to the deep system, soil waters do not rise up, and with the help of superficial, moisture that appears as a result of rains or melting snow is collected and diverted.
The surface drainage system can be part of the storm sewer, and to determine the need to equip deep drainage, a geological examination may be required.
