Protection of soil and atmospheric moisture

To protect against soil and atmospheric moisture have everything: windows and doors, roofing, foundations and pedestals, and, of course walls. At first glance, well-made brick, or log wall must be reliably protected from moisture, but, alas, not so. Water leaks not only through the cracks and fissures, but also through the wall material, which to some extent hygroscopic. Do not always have sin on waterproofing the walls, if they suddenly appear damp. Wall waterproofing can be quite soundly, while the foundations for that matter - is absolutely protected. And then - wait for trouble, because the foundation is usually in contact with soil moisture, and that because of the already mentioned hygroscopic wall materials can penetrate the walls, rising at their capillaries. But if done poorly waterproofing of the roof? Then the walls will be dry before the first shower, and then - the same dampness and related troubles. Thus, a radical solution to the problem can only be complex, and waterproofing the walls - the most important part of this complex. To protect from moisture from the bottom wall in the first place to make a horizontal waterproofing. It is about 15 centimeters above the blind area and prevents the penetration of moisture through the pores in the wall. At the same time you can do and vertical waterproofing, drilled in the wall at a slight angle series of holes and the Gulf of insoluble silicon compounds. In this case, the solution fills the capillaries in the wall, thus putting a reliable barrier to soil moisture. The upper part of walls, which is in direct contact with the rafter construction and roof should also as far as possible protected from atmospheric moisture. And to protect the outside of the walls, as they had also lashed rain, the wet wind blows them, so sooner or later, the moisture will find in them a loophole. Ways to ... The first way to protect from moisture - it is the outer boundary wall through which the water is not desirable to let. For etogo to apply special material - water-repellent agent, its function - to prevent the effect of wetting the wall. Hydrophobicity of walls, in fact, similar to the lubrication of the body in any fat before bathing in cold water. Make sure your skin is actually not wetted by water and easily slips off her. If the wall material is hydrophobic, the water slides with him, too, does not penetrate inside, and all the negative consequences, respectively, are excluded. Thus treated materials retain water-repellent properties: for surface treatment - a minimum of ten years, while the deep infiltration - within the lifetime of the building. Water repellents applied to the pre-cleaned surfaces with a brush, roller or spray, after which no more than a day is provided by the hydrophobic effect and the water simply slides off a surface. Surface of brick, concrete, foam, etc. The walls can be protected from moisture by using plaster waterproofing. As the name implies, it is used similarly plaster: put on the wall with a spatula, align, and then trim the surface chosen material. Sometimes, for these purposes ordinary cement, which is applied to the wall layer of a few millimeters. Cement - a very relative barrier to water, with its long-term effects it can get wet. Therefore, to achieve a highly efficient seal section is added to cement tserezit or water glass. Although the most convenient - use prepared mixes, which industry produces in excess. It is composed of mineral binders, fillers, and polymeric and mineral supplements. The use of polymers for these purposes - naturally, since they (unlike most building materials) almost do not interact with water. Special formulations of polymers can be applied to the wall and then coated with facade paint or a porous plaster. Before using the waterproofing mixture must first prepare the base: free of dirt, dust, grease, oil or paint, seal the bumps, and then prepare a solution and get to work. And use special water transpiration plaster - drawn on the wall, they pull them out of the water and evaporate it. As soon as it came to the defense in depth, the second echelon will himself wall material. Assume the water still reached him, penetrated into the gaps unfilled water-repellent or waterproofing plaster. In this case, it would seem, the campaign was lost, and the moisture will penetrate deeper, soon to appear on the inner surface of the wet spot. But it will if you do not protect the material by penetrating waterproofing. If it was done, even in direct contact with water are not afraid of such a wall. Penetrating waterproofing, we wrote about several times, fills the pores, voids, cracks, microcracks and capillary walls. This way of protection from moisture makes its way almost insurmountable obstacle, and even if the house will be flooded during high water, the water will penetrate the windows, doors, but not through walls. Such waterproofing is a mixture of high quality Portland cement, silica sand and chemically active ingredients that seal the pores of wall material. Before coat the surface of the foot should be well cleaned from dust, oil stains. Sutures brickwork embroidered to a depth of five millimeters, and then are sealed with cement mortar with the addition of waterproofing mixture. Further, the composition is mixed with water in correct proportions, mixed to a smooth plastic solution and applied to the surface you want to protect from moisture. However, these methods of protection from moisture is not exhausted. Technological advances recently allowed drastically combat Malware water element. Fight the dampness on the walls trying a long time, but effective ways to fight and not come up with: any is costly, and most importantly - does not solve the problem completely, and gives no guarantees for the future. But lately, when the domestic market will get a unique instrument - the situation has changed. In the walls of buildings often gets wet, and the buildings themselves are aging prematurely and destroyed. This is a problem faced by virtually all who have their own house, cottage, socle or basement. Until now it was thought that it was impossible to get rid of ground moisture. Moisture has been granted, which had to put up. As it turned out, however, can be used electrophysical principle and charging the appropriate primer, forward movement of ground moisture into the deeper layers of it. To protect from moisture using a variety of different materials. As obmazochnoy waterproofing used, for example, dry powder. Built on the cement and specialty polymers, such a mixture forms a resilient, hardy waterproof coating with good adhesion. Applied with a conventional brush, in two or three layers.
