Cut-off waterproofing. As I come from a simple job done a lot of problems.

Spring is coming, the weather improves and the snow goes away ...

My building is also moving forward. After I I dug its foundations after the winterI rather want to start the construction of the walls.

But we need to do preparatory work before.

The presence of waterproofing between the walls of the house and the foundation must beEspecially for the house of aerated concrete, as I have. Even if the foundation is already waterproofed from the ground, it is still better to be safe. Otherwise, the problem of wetting of the building, then do not get rid of.

See how it is done, I realized that everything is simple.

• You can lay a roll insulation for masonry.
• Or even pre-fluff can be the foundation of mastic asphalt, and already on her stick waterproofing.

The second option I liked more, although now, after the work done, I probably would have chosen the former. And that's why:

Purpose.

As I used Stekloizol waterproofing rolls. And I decided to glue it to the foundation for...

Yes I do not know why I decided to fix it.Because the meaning of this no.

In my heart I had an illusionThat by using bituminous mastics I I'll connect the foundation and walls of the house. And it flowed from a misunderstanding of how the house itself is not engaged with the base, because of the waterproofing between them? But head, I realized that this is nonsense.

The only reason, because of what I did was its use was improved waterproofing layer as a whole. Especially because, in my opinion, especially the process is not complicated.

But in fact, I made a lot of difficulties.

And the main mistake was choosing the wrong mastic. More precisely it is not particularly suitable for this case.

I bought neotverzhdvlyaemuyu bitumen mastic, which had to be reheated for the application.

And it's half the trouble.

When poured into a cold basement, you need to very quickly it spread otherwise it starts to thicken again, and we need all the additional melting burner.

In general, the process is still the same...

But I tried to do everything carefully. And the more I tried, the began to think more:"Why do I need all this hemorrhoids?"

In general, the more I moved, the width of the mastic coating was less and the gaps became larger.

And in the end, to get the same postelennuyu Stekloizol sheets, but now the wind does not blow away. :)

So, keep in mind that this is, if you still decide to glue waterproofing, choose bitumen mastic, which do not melt, and which is initially in liquid form, or to be diluted with a solvent and safely applied with a brush or roller.

Although, I would not do. Nowhere waterproofing of the walls is not going anywhere, and properties of the mastic much better not become.
