Moisture, as we know from the course of physics, has a destructive effect on various building materials and structures. Even if its negative impact does not immediately manifest itself with quite serious consequences, we all remember the old folk wisdom, which reads: “The water sharpens”, and this wisdom is completely fair – earlier or later the superficial and groundwater will complete their “subversive” work, leading The foundation of the structure and, accordingly, the entire structure in the emergency state. And here’s a reasonable question – what to do? How to avoid problems? The problem is solved quite simply – timely arrangement of the drainage system. There are a large number of varieties of both the drainage systems themselves and the options for their installation and arrangement. We will touch on one of them – a prefabricated drainage, which perfectly copes with the task of protecting the foundation from water destruction by water. This type of drainage is a drainage mounted around the perimeter around the foundation. Drainage pipes are laid in special trenches, the depth and bias of which are calculated individually for each site. According to construction standards, the installation of wall drainage should be completely completed before the construction of the foundation begins.
This approach to construction allows you to achieve maximum efficiency of the system, which means to create reliable protection of the structure, adjusting the water balance and removing excess water from the site. The wall drainage of the foundation significantly increases the period of operation of buildings and other building structures. Its absence first leads to the appearance of dampness, the reproduction of mold and fungus, then to the appearance of cracks, and then to the complete destruction of building structures.
