The fight against high humidity in the house must begin at the first alarming signs. In order to prevent the advent of the specific smell in the home, damage to the mold, deterioration of well-being, it is important to find the causes of dampness.
Proper waterproofing at home
At the initial stage of construction, special attention is paid to the horizontal insulation of the foundation. Especially if there are prerequisites for increased moisture formation — High groundwater level, reservoir, frequent precipitation.
If horizontal insulation is made only at the time of construction, then the vertical waterproofing of the foundation can be performed when the house is rebuilt. The principle of work: a trench is digging around the building, and the foundation walls are fused by waterproofing. Depending on the materials used, waterproofing happens:
- Caution. It is performed using liquid bitumen based liquid compositions.
- Rolled. The foundation is covered with insulating material on a paper or synthetic basis. The most common — Ruberoid.
- Plaster. The polymer component is mixed with a cement solution.
Insulation
In the autumn-winter period from moisture coming from outside, protects high-quality outer or internal warming of the house. Popular and cheap insulation — Polyfoam, basalt fiber, mineral wool. Everyone has their pros and cons.
Ventilation
In the event that overhaul on a number of reasons is impossible or it is established that the reason for the dampness of the room in a slow output of wet air, eliminate or minimize the problem will help correctly and sufficient ventilation at home, apartments:
- Organize in the kitchen, in the bathroom, toilet forced ventilation. It is more convenient when the built-in fans are automatically turned on when the door is opened or on.
- Mandatory tightness of plastic windows often causes a lack of ventilation. For the diversion of wet air in the problem window profile or the doorway, make additional small ventilation holes and install ventilators.
- Be sure to regularly arrange through the ventilation of the whole house!
Household air dryers
This device is "ambulance" for a raw house. The principle of operation of the desiccant is to condensate the excess moisture by cooling the flow of air flow. Condensate flows into a special reservoir, air devoid of excess moisture is heated and returns to the room. Thanks to this, the house becomes land for a very short time. In adsorption dryers, the adsorbent takes moisture from the air located in the device.
Features of the selection of the dryer:
- Choosing a desiccant for the house, focus on the placement location.
- Pay attention to the power, noise level during operation, device design.
- Be careful using appliances, and do not overcame air. Very comfortable models with automatic mode of operation. The dryer is turned on by itself if the moisture level is increased, and turns off when the required indicators are optimized.
Other ways to combat dampness
To overcome dampness:
- Try to reduce air humidity with chemicals. Pour into small containers, plastic cups of 200 ml are suitable, calcium chloride powder, arrange in problem rooms.
- If only one wall is rawinet, most likely the reason for the incorrectly planned heating system. To the "crying" wall, let down an additional radiator.
- By eliminating dampness, do not forget to take measures to destroy mold, fungus.
- Use the hood during cooking.
- Household air conditioners contribute to a decrease in air humidity.
Timely response, the correct selection of drying events — And in the air in your house will become clean and easy.
