Low -rise construction: DIY drainage
The device of the drain is a mandatory requirement in the construction of any building. However, this condition is very often neglected in the construction of suburban or country houses, as a result of which the foundation and basement of the building are often flooded, and the structures themselves begin to collapse over time. It should be noted that existing polymer products (including plumbing and sewer pipes and products) allow you to create a drain with your own hands without specialists. First of all, you need to dig a drain hole, which should be no closer than 15 m to the nearest wells or wells. In this case, its dimensions will depend on the estimated volume of drained water. It is recommended to strengthen the walls of the pit, for example, with brickwork, and the bottom should be left soil. Then, from the pit, you need to dig a trench towards the house in which the pipe will be laid. The recommended depth of pipe laying is 1000 mm (with this depth, the pipes will not freeze).
The drain into the house is started using plastic corners with an angle of a challenge of 75 degrees. It is recommended to put a plastic tee inside the building, which will make it possible to develop a system of pipes in the future and connect washbasins, washing machine, bath, etc. p. For the collection and removal of rainwater, it is recommended to install a gutter along the perimeter of the roof and connect them to the drainage pipe. The same gutter, protected by grates, must be installed around the perimeter of the entire building, which should have a general collection of water to drain it into a drain hole. For the possibility of cleaning pipes from garbage and dirt, it is recommended to put special plugs throughout the pipeline throughout the pipeline.
