Download or read book Waterproofing Basement written by Norbert Quest and published by . This book was released on 2011-12-11 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information on the typical costs of waterproofing a basement yourself and the steps it takes to complete this task.There are many ways to waterproof a basement. Waterproofing methods generally fall into three main categories or systems. Your first option is the barrier system. Barrier systems work by preventing moisture, condensation or water from invading your basement walls and flooring. A barrier system can be placed on the exterior of your home (the foundation of the house, where water can seep into the basement) or on the interior of the basement (walls, flooring, and wall joint). Your second option is a diversion system. A diversion system, as the name implies, collects and diverts water away from the affected area. Sump pumps are a prime example of an effective diversion system for basements. Water accumulates in a cavity known as the sump pit and a high-powered pump collects and diverts the water away from the basement. This is an excellent choice if your basement experiences heavy flooding during the rainy season. Your third option is a drainage system. Drainage systems are often used in conjunction with diversion systems. Drainage tiles and solid membranes are examples of drainage systems. A drainage system has two main functions: to separate the rest of the basement from the seeping water or moisture and to collect and transport the water to the basement drain.

This now covers, in a single textbook, all the basic forms of construction studied on professional courses.

It is written with the conviction that by focusing on the process of choice, the range of theory and knowledge that is useful to practice becomes explicit, making the link between knowledge and practice, and between understanding and experience. The new edition has been updated throughout with extensive additions to Chapter13: Manufacture and Assembly and to Chapter 15: Sustainability. An entire new section has been added, covering all the main elements of commercial construction. Students will find here explanations of how environments, structural behaviour, production know-how, cost and social concerns such as sustainability can be taken into account in the choice of construction. They will also gain a clear understanding of the construction details and specifications adopted for both housing and commercial buildings in the UK at the beginning of the 21st century. Provides a framework to think through proposed solutions Sets the choice of solution in both time and place, and in the context of sustainability Focuses on key questions: will the proposal fail; and can it be built?
