How to hydroize the basement

The presence of the basement in the house is very convenient. But the increased humidity in this room is quite a bad phenomenon. It destroys the walls, forms mold and spoil the air. If a similar problem has you, in this article we will tell you how to get rid of it.

First you need to arm yourself with some materials:

polyethylene film;
waterproofing;
pipes for ventilation systems.

Now you can find out the reason for the presence of water in the basement if it is not visible at first glance.
This will require a polyethylene film. Its pieces are fixed on the floor, ceiling and placing walls with a dense fit without air access. A few days later you need to visit the basement and inspect the film. If there is moisture under it - this is a sign of penetration into the basement of groundwater. If the moisture on it is to look for a source of condensate inside the basement.

In the first case, the protective insulation of its foundation is restored. This is the most reliable, but labor-intensive way. For this, underground basement structures are diverted, and their old damaged waterproofing changes. The material for it can serve as a bitumen, rubberoid or borulin. Then the landscape closed by excavations is restored.

Protection of the basement from the inside of groundwater is made using hydraulic cement and waterproofing paints. The cement is filled with all cracks on the surface of the structures. And after its drying, the final waterproof of the basement is achieved by the color of the floor and walls of waterproofing enamel.

From the natural condensate that occurs in the basement will help get rid of his good ventilation. To do this, under the ceiling in different angles of the room are performed through holes. They are installed in them and air duct tubes with a height outside 2 m. The ends of the pipes are protected from top of the visors from precipitation and garbage. For efficient ventilation, this system is periodically turned on.
