Over time, you can see how the window and door openings are skewed at home, and cracks occur on the walls. This denotes that it is necessary to increase the foundation of the structure. Well, if the house was created with my own hands, and you remember exactly what materials were used when laying the foundation. If you have purchased the house, it is necessary to find out the material and the materials used during its construction.

Reasons for strengthening the foundation of the house

Before starting work on strengthening the foundation, establish the reason for the destruction of the foundation. There may be several such reasons:

1. It is possible that when booking the foundation, builders violated technology or used low-quality materials. Unevenly sink foundation or a weak concrete solution was used.
2. In the event of a change in the level of groundwater, the pillow is broken. To eliminate such a defect, drainage is shutdown around the perimeter of the home of the house, and then the foundation is strengthened. Works should be performed in accordance with the changed level of groundwater and the state of the soil at the time of repair.
3. If the house is built on the territory having a complex and inhomogeneous composition of the soil, that is, the probability of soil shifts, which lead to deformation and damage to the foundation base of the house.
4. During construction, local uneven loads were allowed, leading to violation of the rules of resistance of materials and deformation of the foundation.

Ways to enhance the foundation of the country house

If the base of the country's house is located on the belt foundation, the order of work is:

1. In the area of \u200b\u200bsistering the foundation, the trench is rotated. Its depth should be such that the damaged area of \u200b\u200bthe foundation was about 1 meter above the lower point of the RVA. The width of the trench, should not be the width of the old foundation.
2. In the old foundation, the holes for binding it with a new foundation. The bottom of the trench falls asleep with a mixture of sand and rubble, and then tamper. The so-called pillow is made.
3. The formwork is erected, the binding fittings and the skeleton of the new foundation are laid. The skeleton is made from the reinforcement rod. Cross rods are welded with each other or fasten with knitting wire.
4. You need to trax for careful filling and tamping binding screw holes with concrete solution.
5. The next stage is the fill of the new foundation. Concrete is filled with layers no more than 20 cm. Having reached the desired level, let him dry evenly. In sunny weather - moisturize it with water, and in bad weather - cover with a film. The new foundation will reach half of its settlement strength in only a month.

Method of broadening sole

1. There is a marking of the damaged area of \u200b\u200bthe foundation. In the intervals 2 - 2.5 meters, the trenches are taken for the capture.
2. The basis of the old foundation, the binding fittings are driven, which overlaps with steel beams. The design is fastened with welding.
3. A formwork is installed in the trenches and concreted.

Strengthening reinforced concrete shirt

1. For this, on a bare old foundation, with anchors, a metal grid of a welded thin rod is attached.
2. Fitting is installed and poured concrete.

Strengthening the foundation below the GPG

According to the technology, the lower horizontal of the foundation must be lower than the depth of the primer of the soil (GPG). In the event of a change in the level of groundwater, the strengthening of the foundation of the country house is made taking into account the fact that the sediment is caused by washing the foundation of the underground waters.

1. To eliminate the problem, the drainage system is placed at the site of the foundation.
2. Further work is manufactured according to the above-described ribbon foundation.

Application of Torcaretone for Strengthening Foundation

There is another way to strengthen the foundation of the country house - the use of Torcreaton. Through this material, it is possible not only to strengthen the foundation, but also restore its waterproofing. To produce such work, you must perform a few simple rules:

1. Works are made only on one side of the house. At the end of work on one side of the country house, you can proceed to work on the other side of the house.
2. The captures must be 2.5 meters away from each other. The brackets are drunk and poured, the bookmarks are sequentially.
3. The peculiarity of such concreting is that the concrete mixture is applied under high pressure, filling all the small cracks of the shells and sinuses. As a result, a high level of frost resistance and waterproofing of the foundation is achieved.

Strengthening the foundation of a wooden house

Strengthening the foundation of a brick house is significantly different from the enhancement of the foundation of a wooden house. A lightweight wooden house can be lifted on jacks and completely repaired or replace the foundation.

1. If your country house has a wooden foundation design and traces of rotting are noticed, then you should replace it or strengthen it. To do this, lift the construction for a small height with the help of jacks and installed on the supporting columns of the brick.
2. Determine the nature and volume of damage to the foundation. In the case of partial sediment of the foundation, you can remove the damaged area and replace it with a linear splicing method.
3. In the event that damage is global and irreversible, the foundation changes completely.
4. To bookmark a new foundation, you can choose a ribbon or pile foundation. The decision is made taking into account the state of the soil.
