The drainage system around the house: the foundation drainage device

In this article you will learn the design features such as the drainage system around the house: the device drainage from the foundation of the house rules for the implementation of this procedure and put forward requirements for stormwater drain. You will be able to study in detail the creation of drainage technology of wall type, as well as get acquainted with the rates for this type of work performed by the specialists of the key.

General information about the drainage system around the house

Do not confuse the process of draining everything around the house with his own hands with the performance of the waterproofing. These two concepts are incompatible, but both technologies are not mutually exclusive. Together they allow you to create a reliable defense base of a residential building from moisture.

Organization of the drainage system for the house, or as it is called - the drainage system, enables to reduce the water level in the territory of a country site or even eliminate excess fluid.

Note!Danger reheating likely both outside and from the inside. Outside on the base can affect flood water, sediment accumulation. From inside the reheating cause groundwater if they lie close to the surface. In this case, useful waterproofing protection.

Even high quality waterproofing is not able to properly protect the base of an apartment house, a part of its plinth and basement from water penetration over the long term. Long-term exposure to moisture eventually reveals the weaknesses and loopholes in the waterproofing. Without drainage basement with a high level of ground water is simply not enough.

The expediency of drainage devices around the home

Constant exposure to moisture can not only destroy the concrete base of the building, but also provoke other negative impacts. Such factors include septic processes, the development of fungi and other microorganisms that can live in the supporting structures of the building.

Such a result can lead to both the lack of drainage of the foundation at home and errors in calculations or direct mounting system. Even if this problem has already taken place, it does not mean that the situation can not be corrected. The advantage of this system is that the installation of wall foundation drainage can be carried out even after all the construction work on the building is already finished.

Installation of drainage systems for private houses suitable in such cases:

1. The plot has a lowland character of the location - the lower area is located in relation to the surrounding landscape, the more urgent becomes the problem of the lack of drainage system.
2. Soil quality prevents the absorption of moisture to occur in the land in a natural mode - loamy and clayey soils options slow down the processes of the natural decrease of the water level at the site.
3. For areas characterized by high levels of precipitation - rain water is collected on the surface in such a quantity that just do not have time to be displayed in natural ways.
4. Groundwater is located too close to the surface.

Note! drainage schemes around the house We should take into account the presence of a waterproof coating on site. These surfaces include track, road entrances and rest areas with asphalt or paving tile covering.

The main types of drainage around the house and livnevki

Correctly to make the drainage around the house, as well as the installation of storm water system in the garden area, easy enough. The main thing with this:

• properly perform calculations;
• select conditions portion corresponding system type;
• select the appropriate technical and operational characteristics of materials;
• carry out the foundation and drainage blind area in accordance with the requirements and technology.

The choice of system for drainage of foundation

System type is selected on the basis of what conditions a territory. The acute problems of the flooded area, the more determined must be safeguards.

The main types of surface systems:

• livnevki or storm sewer - installation of surface drainage around the house. Its main advantage is the simple and affordable technology. Most of the work is carried out quickly and without the help of professionals. The disadvantages of this system include the limited capacity. Livnevki able to take only melt and rain moisture to the problem of groundwater it can not cope;
• linear system - covers a wide range of tasks, is able to drain the entire territory of the country site and the area around the building. The water in this case is moved through the channels and into the pit for drainage. In most cases the inherent channel type linear placement. On top put on a special lattice;
• Spot System - version drainage foundation with their hands, which allows the rapid removal of excess moisture from locally spaced sources. These sources include watering taps and gutters. Drainage point type overlaps decorative grates made of metal. They prevent debris clogging the system and fallen leaves. From every point of reception the water is performed laying of drainage pipes around the house with his own hands, in accordance with technology, involving the subsequent connection of water pathways with a single line leading to the well.

Useful advice!Point and line systems may be combined to arrive at a combined drain variant allows to increase the effectiveness of drainage portion around the building.

Features high-quality drainage devices around the house: the cost of work

Price drainage around the house turn-key, of course, much higher than the cost of similar works produced by their own hands. But in this case you get:

• guaranteed quality result;
• full compliance with all technological norms;
• accurate calculation of all the parameters and the correct choice of materials;
• the absence of errors, fatal to the system;
• high-speed foundation drainage organization turnkey.

The price of the drainage area around the house (Livnevki):

type of services	The level of penetration, m	Number of inlets, pcs.	Price, rub. / Rm
Livnevki shallow burial	1	14 (max)	1500
15 (min)	1900
Livnevki recessed below the freezing level	1,5	14 (max)	2300
15 (min)	2700

To this cost of drainage around the house is added to the price of the installation of each additional inlets, if that is needed. It is 1500 rub. / Pcs.

To make a more accurate calculation of the cost, it is necessary to take into account the number of risers leading to the roof (for each riser should buy Storm-water inlets), And the length of the building perimeter (planed system) is determined based on this indicator.

Useful advice!If you want to organize a system for stormwater, it suffices to restrict livnevki shallow penetration (up to 1 m). It can function only in the warmer months. Since rain and melted snow to handle system level below the frost penetration of soil (1.5 m). this type of sewerage It can be used in combination with a drainage system with a cable heating.

Common circuits foundation drainage and garden plot

All the drainage system around the house by the type of arrangement can be divided into two groups:

• drainage from the foundation of the building;
• system drainage gardens.

For the organization of stormwater and drainage structures following schemes are used for gardens:

• "Tree";
• "Partial selection";
• "Parallel arrangement".

On garden plots set system open or closed drainage. In other cases, use other foundation drainage scheme: near-wall and the ring.

Pristennaja scheme involves digging drainage placement and arrangement of clay castle through the foundation around the perimeter. The width of this element is 0.5-1 m. This kind of scheme is recommended in the case if the building has a basement or ground floor is equipped. In this case, the depth of the drainage around the house determines the level of floor placement. Tubes are placed approximately 25-30 cm lower than the floor surface lies.

drainage system at the base of the house consists of:

• sand pillows;
• geotextile film;
• pipe (inner diameter: 100-200 mm);
• layer of sand, having a draining destination;
• soil;
• interlayer clay (can substitute hydroprotective film coating).

A ring of drainage around the house involves trenching indented from the building to 1.5-3 m. To exclude ingress of moisture into the zone located between the base of the house and the trench, it is necessary to arrange a clay Castle.

Useful advice!trench depth selected taking into account the placement of the foundation sole. From her need to retreat down to 0.5 m. This way, you avoid the possibility of flooding the basement and basement.

drainage device around the house: the price of services of experts to work with the foundation

As is the case with livnevki, quotations on the organization of drainage system in the foundation not only depend on the length of the perimeter of the building, but also on the level of penetration of drainage structures.

Construction of the ring drainage around the house: the cost of work Full construction:

The level of penetration, m	Price, rub. / Rm
1	1500
1,5	2550
2	4600
2,5	7100
3	9450

Installation of this system for the pit, manned a pumping station will cost about 35,000 rubles. Provided that the diameter of the product is 1 m.

Calculation of the exact cost of the work performed by the key given the depth of the base of the house (on this indicator depends on the level of penetration) and the length of the building perimeter (note also the necessary indentation of walls).

arrangement of wall drainage around the house: the price of work Full construction:

The level of penetration, m	Price, rub. / Rm
1	1600
1,5	2450
2	4300
2,5	6900
3	9600

When installing drainage around the house under this scheme uses the same collector wells as in the previous case.

The drainage system around the house: the drainage device with their own hands

Everything for drainage blind area around the house or other similar system at the initial stage, the soil analysis. Typically, such data are already known at the time of construction of the foundation of the building. To this end, several wells being drilled (4-5 pcs.) In the construction zone to a depth of 5 meters and produced the study area.

On clay and loam types of soil moisture from rainfall and snow melt collects in the upper stratum of the soil. A similar situation is obtained if tested groundwater at a depth of less than 2.5 m from the surface.

Useful advice!If you do not believe in their own abilities, charge selection drainage system professionals. In the event of problems, specialists will be able to correct the cause.

Planning drainage around the house: how to make calculation of the depth of freezing:

climatic zones	The depth of soil freezing, see
Kurgan-Omsk	210-220
Orenburg-Kostanay	180-200
Vologda, Vyatka	150-170
Petersburg-Moscow	120-140
Rostov-on-Don, Kursk	90-110
Kaliningrad, Sevastopol	70-80

The table shows the maximum limit freezing. In practice, this rate is usually less than about 20-30%.

Organization of wall drainage around the house: how to do the installation

Before installing a drainage system around the house with his own hands to complete a series of preparatory works, since this structure will be adjacent to the foundation of the building. Preparation includes:

1. Processing base bituminous composition of the soil from the outside.
2. The dry deposited over the surface of the bitumastic.
3. Attaching reinforcing mesh with a mesh size 2x2 mm.
4. Drying of the surface during the day.
5. Applying a second layer of a bituminous mastic.

In laying pipe circuit may influence the specific weight of the soil. Data for the basic soil categories are arranged in the table.

The distance between the drains for drainage devices around the house with his own hands:

Riser installation depth, cm	The optimal distance between the tubes, see
Light soil types	Soil with average	Heavy clay soils
450	450-550	400-500	200-300
600	650-750	500-650	300-400
900	900-1100	700-900	400-550
1200	1200-1500	1000-1200	450-700
1500	1550-1800	1200-1500	650-900
1800	1800-2200	1500-1800	700-1100

Useful advice!In drawing up the laying of the pipeline scheme takes into account not only the specific weight, but also the type of soil. On sandy soil pipe laying optimal step is not more than 50 m, on clay - 10 m, in loamy - 20 m.

Technology for creating drainage around the house: how to do the bulk of work

The procedure for creating a foundation with his hands drainage in clay soils:

• in the lowest point of the site is carried out installation of the pit;
• foundation trench is formed along with a bias to the sump, which is regulated by means of a spirit level;
• sand created airbag at the bottom of trenches 5 cm;
• on top of a sand cushion fit geotextile fabric with a margin to the ends of the fabric can be wrapped overlapping;
• forming gravel cushion thickness of 10 cm;

• Installation pipes at an angle 2 °;
• docking pipeline elements via corner connectors and adapters;
• the corners of the buildings are placed manholes. From them to the well catchment perform piping with a slope;
• formation of mound 10 cm thick gravel;
• wrapping the pipes with free ends gravel geotextile fabric which is fixed strong synthetic ropes;
• filling the trench with sand or ground (depending on the type of soil on the site).

Construction of circular drainage around the house with his own hands: how to make the installation of the system

For installation of this system is needed to make closed structures around the trench system, given that the depth should exceed the level of the foundation placing 0.5 m.

Useful advice!Use the perforated pipes. Trenches must be removed from the base of the house for 5-8 meters, or the soil around the structure will start to sink.

The trenches in this case should also be positioned with a bias to the well to collect water. Minimum tilt indicator - 2-3 cm / running meter. Dosypaya sand or removing it, this index can be controlled.

Turn-based technology arrangement of drainage around the foundation:

1. At the bottom of the trench is filled and the sand is laid geotextile fabric with a reserve (free edges need to wrap on the trench walls).
2. Formed crushed stone airbag 10 cm thick.
3. Assembling is performed with the diameter of the pipeline elements 10 cm or more with an angle of inclination of 2 °.
4. Installs manhole in those places where the pipe is rotated. On straight sections of wells can be installed at a distance of 12 m from each other.
5. It is embankment of gravel or crushed stone (layer thickness 20-30 cm).
6. Performed wrap the free edges of the geotextile fabric.
7. The trenches are filled to the top of sand and earth.

Organization drainage around the house with his own hands without chimney

The process of arrangement of drainage around the house can do without the use of pipes and even rubble. Alternative types of drainage:

1. Loose-fill system - as a filler for trenches used available materials (concrete debris, broken bricks, stones, pieces of hardened cement) and necessarily geotextile fabric.
2. Drainage on the basis of plastic bottles - material curled lids stacked longitudinally in the trench is covered by turf and ground.
3. Fascine System - used bundles of sticks with a diameter of 30 cm, laces tied kapron or wire.
4. Zherdyanoy drainage - at the bottom of the trench is carried out installation of the struts-sticks, which fit then small saplings or long knots.
5. Plank system - boards are placed on the bottom of the trenches so that a triangle in cross section, looking downward apex. Before filling the land on the board recommended to lay moss as a filter.

However, such systems may behave unpredictably and terms of service of drainage from readily available materials can not be predicted.

Use for a more detailed review of classical technology of its drainage arms around home video, posted below. Only in this way you will be able to achieve truly high-quality, effective and lasting results. In keeping with the requirements with regard to technology, you get a reliable drainage system, even if you create a system of trenches from the rubble without the pipeline.
