Budget drainage area system and storm sewer from the users of the portal

Experienced builders and suburban residents are well aware that "extra" water on the plot - it's bad. Excess water causes flooding of the basement and ground floor, leaching of base beds flooding, water logging area, etc. As a result, spring, autumn and even in the summer on a site you can not pass without rubber boots, and the homeowner is constantly tormented by the question: what to do with the water, which prevents live?

In this article, we consider:

• What water as where to divert a portion.
• As with their hands to make the budget storm sewers.
• How to make a low-cost drainage and drain the swampy land.

Which water prevents live developers and suburban homeowner

About the types of surface and groundwater, as well as the system of drainage and storm sewer, you can write a separate book. So we leave outside the this article detailed list of the types and causes of groundwater, and concentrate on practice. But without a minimum of theoretical knowledge taken for self-improvement of drainage and storm sewer - throwing money away.

The fact is that even drain properly done the first few years, the system operates. Then, for example, due to clogging (sedimentation) drainage pipe geotextile wrapped, which put in a clay, loam etc. soil, drainage ceases to work. And money for drainage improvement has already been spent, and that the most important thing - the construction of drainage is often associated with large amounts of excavation involving machinery.

So just dig and shift drainpipe 3-5 years after her favorites - it is difficult and costly. Plot already lived, made topographical design, equipped with blind area, supplied arbor, bath, etc.

We'll have to wrestle with how to alter drainage so as not to make havoc all the land.

Hence - drainage construction should always be based on data from geological studies of soil (That will help to find, e.g., a waterproof layer of clay at a depth of 1.5-2 m), hydrogeological survey and the precise knowledge of what kind of water leads to flooding of homes or waterlogging portion.

Surface water is seasonal, associated with the period of snow melting and abundant rains. Groundwater is divided into three main groups:

• Capillary water.
• Ground water.
• Perched.

Moreover, surface water if it does not take time when infiltration (soaking) in the ground is converted into the subterranean water.

Surface water is typically greater than the volume of groundwater.

Output: runoff necessary to divert rainwater (rain) water drain, rather than trying to make the surface drainage!

Storm sewer - a system consisting of trays, tubes or trenches dug in the ground, water deducing offsite + competent organization relief on gardening area. This is to avoid stagnant zones in the area (lenses, swimming pools), which will collect water, which simply have nowhere to go, and further waterlogging.

Major errors are allowed for self drainage device:

• Failure to follow the correct slope laid drainage pipes. If you take the averaged, then the bias is maintained in the range of 0.005 to 0.007, that is, 5-7 mm per 1 rm drainage pipe.

• Use of the drainage pipe in geotextile winding on the "wrong" ground. Pipe in the geotextile to avoid silting of its use on soils, consisting of net medium- to coarse-grained sand.

• Used instead of a cheaper granite, limestone gravel, which eventually eroded by water.
• Savings on qualitative geotextile which must possess certain hydraulic properties affecting the drainage quality. This is an effective pore size of 175 md, ie 0.175 mm, and the transverse Kf, which should be at least 300 m / day (the pressure gradient at the unit).

Inexpensive storm water drain their hands

What does it take to build on the site of a budget option for stormwater? The first thing that comes to mind, for example, for livnovki device - pack special trays.

Trays can be made of concrete or plastic, but in any case, the price for them, "bite." This makes the users of our portal to look for cheaper options for arrangement of storm sewer and drainage systems.

Denis1235 (Member FORUMHOUSE):

I need to make inexpensive livnovku, about 48 m long, at the edge of the fence, to drain melt water that come from a neighbor. The water must be diverted into a ditch. I wondered how to do it. First, it occurred to buy special trays, but, then, it turns out from them will remain "extra" grille, and special aesthetics livnovki for me is not required. I decided to buy asbestos cement pipes and sawn along their grinder, thereby obtaining a self-made tray.

Despite budget this idea, the need to cut their own asbestos-cement pipes are not user attracted. Second Embodiment - buy gutters (plastic or metal) and stow them on the prepared substrate in a layer of concrete of about 100 mm.

Portal users have dissuaded Denis1235 the idea in favor of the first option is more durable.

Caught on the idea of ​​inexpensive livnovki, but not wishing to be bound to an independent saw cut pipes, Denis1235 found factory producing asbestos cement pipes, where they are immediately cut into pieces of length of 2 m (to cracked during carriage 4 m) and brought to the site ready trays. It remains only to develop tray stacking scheme.

I get the next "pie":

• Subgrade in the form bed.
• A layer of sand or ASG thickness of about 5 cm.
• Concrete about 7 cm.
• The tray of the asbestos cement pipe.

Denis1235 (Member FORUMHOUSE):

As a result, I made a budget livnovku. It took 2 days to digging trenches, two more days on the road concreting and installation. On trays I spent 10 thousand. rub.

Practice has shown that the track is excellent "wintered", not cracked and captures water from a neighbor, leaving dry land. Also interesting variant of rain (storm) sewer portal user with the nickname yury_by.

yury_by (Member FORUMHOUSE):

Because the crisis did not think an end, I thought, how to arrange a storm sewers for the disposal of rainwater from the house. It would be desirable, and save, and do everything accurately.

Thinking, the user decided to make livnovku based flexible double wall corrugated pipes (they are 2 times cheaper than the "red" sewer) that are used for laying power cables under ground. But because route planned total depth of 200-300 mm with a pipe diameter of 110 mm, yury_by He feared that the corrugated pipe when water gets between the two layers can break during the winter.

Eventually yury_by I decided to take the budget "gray" tube, which is used in the regeneration of domestic sewage. Although it was feared that the pipes that do not have such rigidity as "red", will break in the ground, practice has shown that nothing has happened to them.

yury_by (Member FORUMHOUSE):

Of course, if you come to the "gray" tube it is converted into an oval, but in the place where I hid it, there are no significant loads. Only stowed the lawn and have a pedestrian load. Having laid the pipe in the trench, and sprinkled it with soil, and I made sure that they keep their shape and livnovka works.

User so pleased inexpensive option livnovki based on the "gray" wastewater pipes, he decided to repeat it. All the nuances of the process demonstrate the following photos.

Digging a hole under drainage well.

Align the base is level.

Set ring.

Fall asleep to the bottom of the well gravel fractions 5-20.

Put the cover, install the door and fall asleep all the ground.

In this manufacturing budget livnovki completed.

drainage inexpensive construction and draining wetland

Not everyone gets the "right" areas. Often in the CHT or new slicing the earth is swampy, peat or the developer. To build on this land a normal house for permanent residence, and not an easy summer cottage - and it is difficult and expensive. There are two ways out of this situation - to sell / exchange of land or take drainage and bringing the station in order.

Not to engage in costly rework and thus to save the family budget, the users in the future Our portal offers low cost options drainage and drying area on the basis of vehicle tires.

Yuri Podymahin (Member FORUMHOUSE):

Peat soil is characterized by a high water table. On my site the water is almost flush with the surface, and after the rain does not go into the ground. To drain the water, it should be thrown off-site. I did not spend money on the purchase of spetsailnyh pipes and drainage made from car tires.

The system is mounted in the following way - dug a ditch in her stacked tires, tires on top dimmed polyethylene to land on top do not fall inside. Polyethylene is also possible to further squeeze "unnecessary" in the sector pieces of slate. In addition, since it increases overall rigidity. The water falls into the "tegmental" line and then given to the off-site.

But there are more "difficult" place where to do so much more.

Seroga567 (Member FORUMHOUSE):

I have a section in the CHT, the total area of ​​8 acres. On site there is a house, which I plan to finish and expand. The place is very low. Because drainage ditches in the CHT are in poor condition, where buried, cluttered or clogged, the water is not going anywhere. GWL so high that the water can be drawn from a well bucket, holding it by the handle. In the spring of the water for a long time standing, the site actually turns into a swamp, and if dries out, it was only in the summer in the heat. Result in a drainage ditch in order no one wants it all and swim. So I decided to fight with the neighbors useless. Need to raise your site and find a way to do with all the "unnecessary" water from the site.

The matter was complicated by the fact that the village lived-in and drive to the site heavy equipment to pour the perimeter - is impossible. Dig absorbs well to pass impermeable layer and drain into it, which then will go into the lower layers of the water-absorbent - too expensive.

Especially, it needs to make hydrogeological survey in the area, and there is no guarantee that it will help. In addition, all of the work just is not "extra" money. therefore Seroga567 I decided to hand land to enclose the retaining wall of the b / y tires from trucks, packed with sand. Then raise the already fortified area with the help of tires and create a bulk "island" and thereby cut off the portion of the fill it with water.

It faced a titanic work, but the user is working "in a helmet", deal with it.

Seroga567 (Member FORUMHOUSE):

I remember when I rise up to the level of the site to dig a well, the soil layers were wrong. First fertile layer about one meter, then loam, with an inhomogeneous viscous and moist but not clay. At the end of all liquid mud went indeterminate composition with silt. Shorter than one disorder and not the soil, so the water nowhere to go, and the site is always moist. Now that I hedged portion of the perimeter of the retaining wall of the tire and picked it up, it's changed. Hardly the sun warms the earth, the water disappears before our eyes. Neighbors, in the spring, and continue to walk on the sites in the boots, and we can say with sneakers are moving.

Add that on the basis of the user tires made the foundation for the house and outbuildings, as well as under the fence.

In addition, from a stack of tires (in fact, worthless material that is free to give shinomontazhke) stacked on top of each other, you can make inexpensive drain well.

Summarizing

The practice of our portal users said that in any situation, even the seemingly most hopeless, you can find a way out. In the absence of experience or faith in their own strength, you can always seek the advice of experienced participants Forumhouse, which are always prompt that and how to do with the construction. And even with its large budget, with the right approach can be their own hands making reliable and cost-site storm sewers and drainage systems.
