Water drainage system for private homes

Pursuing the construction of private homes should take into account the importance of a reliable drainage. Depending on weather conditions apply internal or external drainage systems.




If the climate is severe and prevents freezing of water at the drain, it is better to install a drain inside the building, but away from exterior walls. For outdoor water flow system occurs on the slope roof (informal gutter). To keep water from falling on the wall, you need a removal of at least 60 cm and the canopy over the entrance. If the perimeter of the roof shall establish special systems for water runoff, it is organized by the gutter.

Water drainage system consists of three main elements: the gutters, pipes and plums. For fixing gutters usually use hooks or clamps, pipe attached to the walls, wall-mounted rods with clamps. As a rule, part of the drainage system made of galvanized steel, but there are also more durable and lightweight aluminum gutters and drainage systems made of plastic. Now you can easily buy a standard set, which are equipped with all necessary elements and mounting system.

If you decide to make gutters with their hands, then you need steel sheets with thickness 0,6-0,7 mm pipe. On each sheet, you first need to bend the longitudinal edges folded for compounds (downspout is usually from several units), and then rolled out to blank so that it has acquired a cylindrical shape or a cone shape. For this purpose a special device - rolling. Rollout can be done manually using mandrels - straight pipe, bar, rail. Beneath it lay out of steel billets and took her by the edge of the flex and then rotate relative to the mandrel and then bent. And so on until the work is not to take shape. Then bent at the edge of sheet steel band folded seam. It is important to know that if you make a pipe out of several parts, in order that they are well connected (included in one another) one of the parties zauzhivayut by 5-7 mm. To limit the depth of the input units, at their ends by sealing of the wire make projections about 7-8 mm.



Rainwater to produce not so simple. It consists of three parts: the rim of the cone and cup. Width (diameter) of the rim should fit the width (diameter) of the cone, which he will be connected, and the lower part of the cup match the size of a drainpipe. For the cone is desirable to make it scan, on which harvesting will be done with allowances for a rebate on the edge. Followed by reeling out and connect with other details of the funnel and the tube folded seam.

Drain joins the bottom of the pipe. Special requirements for its production there. Steel rolls needed you the size and shape (usually a pipe, obliquely truncated at the end) and attach at an angle to the pipe so that water flowed in the direction you want.

Attached gutter in the same folded seam by hand or on zigmashine follows: first, the horizontal part (trough sink) and then pipe in the direction of bottom-up.
