消除地下室水分

改进地下室的关键方面之一是确保它干燥和温暖。Bob与Larry Janesky的地下室系统谈论，关于保持Melrose地下室干燥的步骤。一个互锁的塑料衬垫作为地下地板的底层。在地板上有有机材料非常重要，因为它将易受水蒸气模具的影响。然而，在界定到位之前，潜水漏极被挖入地下地板。周边排水管将水发送到漏极泵系统。安装的系统称为三重安全系统，因为它有三个泵;交流泵，交流备份和直流电池备用泵。使用该系统，地下室应保持防洪。有一些站立的水井泵正在安装，但这不应该是一个问题，因为系统在其上有气密盖子，因此水不能蒸发回到家里。 A charger box for the sump pump alerts the homeowner when the pump is running on battery backup. Ice guard fittings have been placed over the pipes that carry the water to the exterior of the home so that water will drain even when water in the pipes is frozen. In an older home like this one, the foundation may be a little weaker and more porous than homes built today. To prevent rain water from seeping in through the foundation, a vapor barrier was installed. A product called Clean Space was also installed over the walls to direct water buildup from condensed water vapor into the perimeter drain. A flood ring was installed around the water heater, which will drain water into the perimeter drain. Dehumidifiers in basements should be basement rated. Normal dehumidifiers are designed to take water out of warmer air and might not be adequate for dehumidifying basements. A SaniDry Basement Air System was installed in the basement of the Melrose home. It can process 100 pints per day and has air filtration built into it. The system is Energy Star rated and will perform well in basement environments.
