That basement is not flowed: internal waterproofing the basement in the house

BFrequently it happens that a house or a utility room with a basement already built, but in the basement of the moisture penetrates. Of course, the best way to protect the building from moisture - to equip external waterproofing, which will retain water outside the building.

EIf, however, you can not expose the foundation of the house from the outside and seal the outer part of it, it is better to use internal gidrozolyatsiyu two types: vertical and horizontal.

• vertical waterproofing - used when you want to insulate the basement walls and foundation elements of the joints, which lie at the level of the water-bearing layer of soil.
• horizontal waterproofing - runs along the floor of the basement, its purpose - to prevent the release of groundwater in the basement, as well as to prevent rising moisture.

What a way to choose the waterproofing?

horizontal waterproofing necessarily apply regardless of the groundwater level (GWL) around the building, because there may be changes: can drop heavy rainfall or groundwater level may rise.

Puse repeat, horizontal waterproofing - obligatory.

ABOUTbustroystvo vertical waterproofing - optional, because sometimes the basement rises enough above ground level, and the water does not enter into it through the foundation.

However, optimal, in our opinion, the embodiment is a combination of both methods waterproofing: mandatory horizontal and vertical 30 cm above the floor level in the basement.

What materials waterproofing the foundation?

INydelyayut following types of waterproofing:

• roll materials - These include roofing material, waterproofing, linokrom.
• penetrating waterproofing - is footing, on which a layer 5 mm penetrating water repellent substance.
• waterproofing membrane - adhesive film of 2 mm thickness.

ABOUTptimalnym basement waterproofing method, in our opinion, is the use of penetrating waterproofing footing for floor insulation and membrane gidrozolyatsii for insulation of walls to the height 30 cm.
