The task: It was necessary to repair (replacement) of the wooden floors in country house, a partial reconstruction of the blind area, removal and re-installation of paving stones, and related work: reconstruction of bathrooms, the dismantling of the system heating etc.

Progress of works: Below is represented in the photo repair facility to perform the repair work. It should be noted that in said wooden house was installed heating, pipes and fittings which copper. At the request of the Customer, the heating system in the wooden house of the copper components behaved not effectively not worked even one full cycle (winter-spring-summer-fall), as most of the joints "flowed". Why is that hard to say, there may be several factors, ranging from low-quality soldering and finishing wrong operation, but most likely, here played a role the combined effect of the above reasons, as well as the progress of the house - a tree there is a tree. Well, it's okay, we have noted this feature only for the laying of heating system you can rely on the experience of operation of heating systems with copper components.

Now actually about the repairs. This square log wooden house floors, wooden floors, about 150 mm thick. The service life of about 10 years. In this part of the air holes are closed incorrectly leveled blind area, in place of the input from pipe mortgage septic tank was not done proper waterproofing, so that the compartment of the foundation for one of the rooms constantly poured waste water (rain, melting snow and etc.). In the photo you can see yourself repair facility, as well as the state of the ceiling of the first floor at the time of initial evaluation:

Thus, in the photo below you can see the result of dismantling the "old wood floor":

After the old wooden floor was dismantled, we have seen that as a result of incorrect snivelirovat blind area, in some places, the air holes were very close to her, and partly overlap it. In addition, the blind area had kontruklon (to home), so in a period of intense snowmelt or during heavy rains, all the water flowed down into the cellar and wet it was, to put it mildly, very high. For this reason, it was necessary to perform a partial replacement of the lower strapping timber in those places where it has become quite a dust.

After this was completed installation of new ceiling and its insulation at a thickness of 250 mm. It should be noted that at present, the repair or construction of suburban homes and outbuildings, we use I-beams, wooden factory manufacturing, which provide high bearing capacity, and little influenced by atmospheric exposure due to factory processing antiseptic compositions. That's what happened in the end:

Accordingly, after mounting and insulation of floors, it was performed assembling a floor covering (in this case the customer decided to stop at the floor board without the arrangement or laminate any other finishing), it should be noted that in each room of the country house was completed hatch to monitor the possibility of the state of the underground space.
