Repair of the cellar

In the spring, as soon as prigreet sun, preparing the cellar for the next harvest. To get rid of mold, the cellar should be dry. But it's better to do and disinfection. To do this, from the cellar subjecting all metal objects and utensils, wooden drums, tightly closed, and the root layer of sand to sleep. In the middle of the cellar as high as possible put a porcelain container, pour into it 1 kg of kitchen salt and pour it in the same amount of sulfuric acid. From the cellar to immediately leave; tightly entrance and ventilation openings. A few hours later the cellar open, and when a pair of weathered, - wipe the walls and ceiling, scrub the floor. The air in the cellar after disinfection is clean and mildew for a long time does not appear. If the cellar began to leak water, it is necessary to identify and repair the damaged areas. Before you begin this work, you need to check whether it is possible to lower the groundwater level at your site drainage device with discharge of water into the nearest drain network, or a creek. Repair is best carried in a dry summer, when groundwater levels fall below the floor cellar. Water must be removed in buckets or pump out a pump, then a good dry wall and floor. When the flow of water through the wall, if possible, on the outside wall of a trench dug, and after drying, the walls lay crushed clay layers of fat, well utrambovyvaya it. The result is a reliable gIdr0izolyatsiya. You can even clean the walls from adhering soil, dry and fluff with molten bitumen or asphalt mastic. To protect against a wall of water can be plastered with cement mortar of 1:3. A solution is better on liquid glass or tserezite. After drying, the plaster is covered with mastic asphalt and poured soil. If the outside wall of the cellar lay bare is not possible, you should use another option. Surface of the concrete walls and floor after dry well clear of dirt, dust, sand, concrete stains. Faces and the angles formed by walls and floor of the basement, round the cement-sand mortar radius of not less than 10 cm After the solution was to catch and good dry, you can proceed to the device sealing walls and floors. When ground-water flow pressure up to 2 meters applies the most simple and cheap PAINT hot asphalt waterproofing compound. The painting is made fiber brush, grass or hair brushes. Paint material is applied evenly, without gaps across the insulated surface in at least two or three layers of thickness 0,5-2 mm each. Each subsequent layer is applied only after the curing and drying of the previously deposited layer. Wall paint to 0,5 m above the upper level of groundwater. Then remains prigruzit waterproofing layer, which arrange the formwork around the perimeter of the basement and pour the walls and floor cellar concrete mix with fine aggregate a minimum thickness of 10 cm Paul basement arranged so that a small slope to the pit from which it is convenient to bail out, so as a wall in the warm period may weep. When seepage of groundwater through the wooden floor boards tear and make a clay castle. Then it plank by mastic two or three layers of roofing tar paper laid on top of the concrete layer and rubbed with cement mortar. If water penetrates the concrete floor, its clean and dry, cover with paste, put on it two or three layers of roofing or roofing material, a top -. layer of cement mortar with liquid glass with a minimum thickness of 50 mm. Renovated in this way will cellar longer serve.
