The drainage system is an extremely important component of almost any structure. And first of all it refers to the facilities that have a large area. In the event that we are talking about a large amount of precipitation, the drainage system allows you to remove all the water, thereby leaving the building in the same condition.

In the event that there is no drain, water simply begins to accumulate on the surface of the roof (often), which negatively affects the overall state of the construction. Of course, some tricks simply create a roof with a certain inclination, which makes it possible to remove water without any special problems without a complete drainage system.
It is advisable to realize a full-fledged system of drainage, which would mostly and qualitatively assigned precipitation to a safe place as quickly and efficiently as possible. Of course, not always similar ventures end with success, but it does not create any special problems.
To date, the elements of the drainage system are made on the basis of various materials, and often all these options are used the same actively - depending on the use of the application. Of course, recently the hosts of private houses are often used by plastic elements. They, despite such material, are strong enough and presentable, which allows you to count on a long service period, as well as a pleasant external component.
In this material, we will consider in detail the issues related to the installation of the drainage of private houses. In addition, we analyze numerous details that are based on waterproof systems.
Features of modern drainage systems
First of all, I would like to say that the drain is the same system that practically in all situations has one principle of operation. If we talk about private houses and such facilities, then the process is often the same. We are talking about the use of drainage from different materials - they all have no effect on the overall specifics of the system.
In this material, we will talk about the classical waterproof systems that are often used in small houses. Most often, these systems are manufactured based on the following materials:
- copper;
- polyvinyl chloride;
- cink Steel.
Experts focus on the fact that the overall specificity of the drainage operation of the drainage does not depend on the material, but the durability of the system depends on them. Thus, if the owners want the drainage to serve them dozens of years, attention should be paid to the modern variations of the drainage.
For example, modern polyvinyl chloride is a material based on which roofs are created, drainage systems and much more. Its main merit is the total strength, which is somewhat higher than the classic plastic applied to the creation of drains for many years. Also, polyvinyl chloride drainage is able to withstand corrosion, as well as various deformations. Well, the most important thing that worries many owners: such a drain is distinguished by resistance to weak acids, alkalis and salts. Accordingly, we are talking that in many years such a drainage will be in its initial state, and this is exactly what is necessary for the owners and at home.
It is impossible to bypass the party that PVC drains often has a number of constructive features, due to which the water removal is directly quickly, reliably and efficiently. For example, the transverse ribs of the drains significantly increase the strength of the structure, especially if there is a chance of mechanical damage to the drainage.
Interestingly, many owners make a choice in favor of plastic (and the like) waterproofs for the reason that they have minimal ice adhesion. Accordingly, years will not be lingering on this system, thereby leaving the security of the surrounding people and the drainage itself. Also in the current situation, many specialists extremely negatively respond to most metal drainage. The bottom line is that the ice and metal are abolished, and it creates extremely serious problems. The same problem is perfectly known to residents of old houses, on the roofs of which a huge amount of ice and other precipitation accumulate in winter. Of course, first of all it is worth thinking about security, and only then on the state of the drain.
Modern technologies have reached the fact that the waterproof plastic is completely not afraid of sharp drops of temperature, as well as the bright sun, although these factors often create problems for metal components.
Shape of drain
Surely people who were interested in drainage products, noticed that rectangular drainage was often cheaper round - about 15%. However, the practice shows that the installation of rectangular drains is somewhat more complicated than the systems with a circular cross section.
Moreover, the owners who are going to establish drain on their private house, often pay attention to round elements, while rectangular cross sections often look especially attractive.
If we talk about the positive sides of rectangular drainage, I would like to say about the practicality of their use in rather complex corners and protrusions on the facade itself. Accordingly, in such a situation, round drainage may be far from the most optimal option.
At the same time, it is worth paying attention to the fact that for round drainage on sale you can find a colossal number of adapters that allow you to establish the system in almost any conditions. In the case of rectangular drainage, the situation is somewhat more complicated, since the range of adapters is not so extensive. However, often for the owners there is enough several standard details for the arrangement of a full-fledged system.
The specificity of the diameter of the gutter and the pipes of the drain
Before purchasing elements for the drain, it is necessary to determine the diameter of the future system. It is most important to remember that without experience it is advisable to contact the specialists, otherwise you can face a number of problems. It is interesting that often experts are consulting free at sales points, therefore there should be no particular difficulties.
Immediately after the most optimal diameter of pipes was calculated, it becomes clear how much you need certain parts. A wide variety of configurations and throughput of the future system are also taken into account. The most interesting thing is that the pipes in the system can have different diameters, which makes it possible to extract the maximum benefit from the existing drainage.
With a truly qualitative calculation of the future system, a wide variety of factors will be taken into account, and already during the operation of the drainage will demonstrate excellent work even with colossal precipitation and other situations. We are talking about bandwidth, which determines the volume of water that is skipping with a specific roof size.
Installation of drainage with your own hands
First of all, it is worth saying that the process of mounting the drain should be carried out in a strict sequence, otherwise the problems are unlikely to succeed. It is worth remembering that in order to obtain an optimal result, in addition to the text instruction, you should look at this process with your own eyes. We are talking about a variety of video materials available on the Internet. The situation is in such a way that, in the first place it is necessary to make a scheme or plan, which will allow the entire planned process as quickly as possible. All this is done in free form. It is advisable to arm a leaflet and pencil, then depict the entire system. It should be borne in mind that right in the course of the installation process of the drainage can change something, so you should be prepared for any surprises.
It should be borne in mind that the scheme and some conclusions about the process should be made only after all the necessary information about the drainage was analyzed, and only after that can be started.
Installation fasteners
- It is obvious that the fasteners are extremely important components of the drainage system, so it is worth paying attention to each detail so that the design is as reliable and durable.
- Accordingly, the process begins with mounting brackets. It should be borne in mind that many brackets are now produced, so you first pay attention to the surface on the basis of which the mount will occur, among which the wall and the rafter system will occur.
- Many experts advise paying attention to the fact that the axial line of the brackets should be a bit inclined (about 5 cm for each tens of meters). The bottom line is that such an idea will allow you to install a gutter with some angle that allows you to produce high-quality drain into the pipe. Accordingly, even with heavy rains, water will not accumulate anywhere and immediately fall into the desired plum.
- It is important to pay attention to the fact that often the chute is a rather long design - from 20 meters or more. In this case, it is recommended to do in 2 sling, which will significantly increase the efficiency of the system. With such a situation, it will be necessary not 1, but at once 2 drain pipes, since precipitation can be too much, and the drainage may not cope with similar amounts of precipitation.
- Directly the brackets themselves are attached in increasing about 50-60 cm. There are quite complex situations in which the attachment is planned to produce on the basis of rafters, but the distance between them is 100 or more centimeters. In this case, to withstand the above step, it is necessary to use 2 types of fasteners, one of which is attached to rafters, and others on the basis of walls.
- It is worth noting that no contradictory solutions associated with fasteners cannot be taken, since it really depends on fasteners, and it is impossible to allow the drainage to fall off - no way.
Installation of waterfronts of the drain
Powerfare funnels are an essential part of the system. Their mount occurs on the places of drain risers. It is obvious that there must be a fixed amount, allowing without unnecessary problems to get rid of all the water. Modern drain systems are objects in which the funnels also serve as a connector of plastic gutters, which is important.
Fighter funnels with glue. Obviously, this method of fastening implies extremely responsible work, as it is extremely easy to allow an error. Immediately after attachment, the funnel is equipped with a grid that will not allow penetrating inside the drain of the garbage and other pollution. Of course, this is an important point, since various clogging can make serious problems to the owners.
Arrangement of gutters of drain
As we have already spoken earlier, the gutter can have different forms - often we are talking about round and rectangular structures. Accordingly, depending on the form depends the choice of fasteners. Earlier, we mentioned the clamps, and now it remains only to insert a gutter in them.
An equally important issue in this case is to block edges that will not be used in the future. Accordingly, it is necessary to use special plugs that perfectly fit into the created drainage. Of course, it is possible without a plug, but without her drainage looks not so presentable.
Specialists advise the use of stubs with rubber seals that demonstrate high efficiency in any conditions.
Installation of the knees of water station
The knee is a part of the drain, which has a round or rectangular shape, and it depends on the shape of the funnel. However, before carrying out the installation of the drain, it is necessary to take care of all the necessary parameters in advance.
The knee is simply mounted on a funnel from the bottom. This component system is necessary for the direction of the drain pipe in the desired side. Then the possibility of fastening the system of clamps appears. It is also worth remembering that the knees often have different angles, so during the installation it is worth paying attention to all subtleties.
Installation of rims of waterproof
Installation of risers is an extremely simple process. To obtain a qualitative result, it is necessary to attach this part to the knee from the bottom. After that, there is a sufficiently fastening with the help of clamps. Well, at the end, if necessary, another pipe is attached to the pipe, but only if the height of the original component of the drainage is not enough.
Many people who plan to produce the installation of drainage, are thinking about the issue associated with the clamps. It is worth paying attention to the fact that in this case you should use different fastening elements for different surfaces (the walls are brick, wooden). The clamp himself is a fastening with two arcs that are put on the riser from different sides. Immediately, the fixation itself occurs on the basis of two bolts, which are attached at the ends of the arc.
Arrangement of drain drain
Obviously, the draining is an extremely important element, since with its help, the precipitate is derived precisely to the place in which the owners need. Experts advise to do so that there is a distance of about 40 cm from the edge of the plum to the scene. It is often possible to see plums that are located on a truly large distance from the structure itself. In some cases, this is a forced measure, so it is not surprised at nothing.
Conclusion
It should be borne in mind that all the above issues related to the drain can only be the beginning of work. The thing is that the owners are often needed to create a sewage system, which would easily remove the colossal volumes of precipitation. This is especially true if the building has a large area, and the roof collects an incredibly large amount of water.
At the same time, you can and significantly simplify this idea, having equipped special tracks to remove water from a plum to the right place. For example, it may be the closest reservoir or some container.
In fact, there is a colossal freedom of choice in this issue, therefore people engaged in the improvement of the site and at home have the opportunity to easily implement a wide variety of ideas, some of which may be even too specific.
