Even in the smallest private house, the ground floor can serve as a very practical and useful room. It could well be a great place to arrange a home cinema, a hookah room or an ordinary pantry. Therefore, erecting your home, it is very important to take care of the internal waterproofing of the residential base. After all, quite often the walls of the building are exposed to underground water, after which the basement becomes for a long time a source of dampness , mold and fungus in the house.
To create and maintain a healthy and comfortable environment, it is necessary to protect the foundation of the building in the most reliable way. Therefore, for the waterproofing of the socle inside it is customary to use proven and high-quality materials that will best eliminate all possible "loopholes" for moisture.
As a rule, such work is done by specialists. However, it is quite possible to make a high-quality waterproofing of the cap from the inside with your own hands. To help you in this matter, in our master class we will tell you how and what to protect your house from dampness and other troubles without the help of specialists. For this we need:
- bituminous mastic;
- sheets of foam plastic with a thickness of 5 mm;
- plaster ;
- cement-sand mortar;
- Earth;
- reinforcing mesh;
- the wooden maklovitsa;
- putty knife.
We make the waterproofing of the cap from the inside
- First of all, with a spatula we fill up the cracks between the bricks with a cement-sand mortar and wait until everything has dried thoroughly.
- Then, with the help of a wooden mackerel, we apply a layer of bituminous mastic to the entire surface of the walls of the socle. This material provides reliable protection against moisture penetration and helps to prevent the destruction of walls.
- On the inner perimeter of the socle and on the floor, we evenly pack the foam sheets. For the waterproofing of the socle inside, the toxicity of the material is unprincipled, since this part of the floor will be covered with a thick layer of concrete from above. At the same time the foam plastic will serve as an excellent insulation that will help to keep the house warm for a long time and not to miss the cold.
- To the plates do not scatter in all directions and evenly adjoin each other, we fall asleep on top of the rough floor of the foam plastic earth, then all the rammed and leveled. It turns out an even layer of flooring 10 - 13 cm thick.
- That's what we got. Now that the waterproofing of the socle is finished, you can continue to build the upper floors.
