In the process of self-built houses in rural areas, the construction quality of the foundation and foundation directly affects the overall stability and living comfort of the house, among which moisture-proof treatment is a crucial part. If the foundation waterproofing measures are not in place, it is easy to lead to the phenomenon of moisture resurgence in the house, which not only affects the living environment, but also may cause potential harm to the building structure. The following points are effective suggestions on how to build a house in rural areas to prevent resurgence:
First, the site selection and design stage.
First of all, moisture protection factors should be fully considered in the site selection and design stage. Try to choose a high-lying and well-drained area to build your house, and avoid it being located in a low-lying area or an area where the groundwater level is too high to prevent moisture from rising indoors through capillary action.
Second, the foundation cushion construction.
The foundation cushion is the first line of defense against the upward infiltration of groundwater. During construction, a certain thickness of moisture-proof layer, such as waterproof mortar or waterproof membrane, should be laid to ensure that it is continuous and intact without damage, and the surrounding area must be turned up above the outdoor floor to form a closed moisture-proof barrier. Double-layer moisture-proof technology can be adopted, that is, the bottom layer is waterproof mortar, and the upper layer is laid with a layer of waterproof membrane to enhance the moisture-proof effect.
3. Moisture-proof treatment of the wall.
In the construction of the wall, the inner moisture-proof layer can be set up, such as adding a waterproof mortar or applying special moisture-proof paint about 30 cm above the ground. The connection between the ground and the wall should be treated with special treatment, such as setting up concrete back-sills to form an effective water barrier.
Fourth, improve drainage facilities.
Indoor and outdoor drainage systems are planned to ensure that rainwater can be drained quickly, lowering the groundwater level and reducing the impact on the foundation of the building. At the same time, there should be good drainage ditches around the house to prevent rainwater from backing up into the house foundation.
5. Strengthen ventilation.
Appropriately increase the ventilation facilities on the ground floor of the house, take away moisture through air circulation, reduce indoor humidity, and reduce moisture return from the source.
In general, to do a good job in the basic moisture-proof work of rural houses, it is necessary to comprehensively consider all aspects of site selection, design, construction and post-maintenance, and only by putting every moisture-proof measure in place can we fundamentally solve the problem of moisture return of houses and create a dry and comfortable living environment.
