In general, the consequences of excessive waterloggingSoils (for reasons of groundwater, excessive rainfall, etc.) can be very diverse, but always unpleasant. To avoid them, you should build a special qualitative system. How to make drainage on the site with your own hands? After all, the work of specialists will be very expensive.
First of all, you need to decide on the typeof the given system. It can be open (to control rainfall and meltwater drainage) and closed (in the case when the groundwater is located close to the soil surface). We will talk about how to make drainage on the site in the most economical way. This is the construction of ditches (surface system).
First of all, it is necessary to outline the work plan. As a rule, trenches pass along the perimeter of the future structure. They are pulled out 50 cm in width and as much in depth, and the length, naturally, depends on the dimensions of the house (rather, from the basement area). After that all the ditches are united into one, which will lead to the well (the catchment site). At the end of this trench, a cut at an angle of about 30 degrees is made to ensure self-drainage of water.
For better absorption of moisture and moreAesthetic view of the system, the ditches are covered with gravel (shallow bottom and coarse top). Of course, such a drainage will not last very long, therefore a number of additions can be made to the process.
For example, many use fashiny. What it is? Birch or willow brushwood is tied in bundles and laid in trenches on crossed pieces of logs. From above place moss and fall asleep with rubble. Some use fine gravel, as well as sand. This allows more efficient removal of excess liquid from the soil surface.
And how to make drainage on the site more modernway? Those ditches that were dug, it is necessary to concrete and install in them special trays (they are sold in the construction market), always under a slight slope, so that water passes through them more easily. Above such structures are covered with gratings. They perform both protective and decorative functions. In this case, the system will not spoil the view of your yard, and with the task of collecting moisture will cope better.
Of course, if we talk about how to do itdrainage at the site is most effective, the answer is as follows: use special pipes (that is, build a deep drainage system). Today there are many modern materials, in particular, geo-plastic. It makes the installation process easy and gives a really high quality and long result.
We hope this article helped you understand how to properly drain the site, what it is needed for and what it is. Successful construction!
