Free-flowing rainwater flows with a big destructive power. It is not only about leashing the Earth from under the base, but also about the wetting and destruction of the facade, the flooding of the basement and the foundation of the house. All this affects the appearance of the house and reduces its life.
Solve all these problems can organized by the system of drainage. As a rule, the storm drain from the roof of the owners makes them hands. For this, building stores have all the necessary components. It remains only to choose the appropriate material, sort out the installation technology and make a water flow system.
Types of drainage systems
The main element of the water flow system from the roof is the gutter and pipes. It is according to the material of the manufacture of these elements and the rave systems are divided. Let's consider the main materials of the manufacture.
Metal Livnevy
The metal system that ensures the flow of water from the pitched roof is made of materials:
- Galvanized steel is a classic version of the execution. At the same time, it is possible to make a gutter and pipes from galvania and with your own hands.
- Ordinary carbon steel with polymer protective coating. Such a drain has an increased service life and is manufactured in different colors.
- The copper storm flow system is distinguished by the original appearance. Most often is made to order, because it has a high cost.
Among the advantages that the storm drainage systems have, it is worth identifying such characteristics:
- High mechanical strength that allows such systems to withstand significant loads.
- Resistance to sharp temperature differences.
- Excellent frost resistance.
The disadvantages with which the metal flow of water has:
- Big weight design.
- The complexity of installation with your own hands.
Tip! The considerable weight of the metal water flow system makes it special about the installation. Waterproof elements need to be securely mounted to the facade of the house, it is better to use reinforced steel brackets.
Plastic storm systems
The plastic plum is made from high-quality polyvinyl chloride, painted in mass and covered with a protective composition that gives a special smoothness inward surfaces.
It increases the bandwidth of the lavety and on the walls is delayed less than the yel and other garbage. Consider the main preferential characteristics with which the plastic storm water flow system has a roof:
- Absolute corrosion resistance and aggressive exposure to atmospheric water.
- Small construction weight, which greatly facilitates the installation with their own hands.
- Such a runa has a smaller price than metal systems.
- Another feature that the plastic drain is possessed is a low noise from pouring water.
For the connection of plastic water elements, special coupling with sealing rings are used. Such a constructive feature provides seamlessness of the seam and the ease of the assembly process.
Tip! Sometimes an adhesive method of connecting plastic structures is used. This method has a significant disadvantage: the stock becomes dumb and make the replacement of the damaged part will be very problematic.
Difference forms
If earlier galvanized chute and pipes had a strictly rounded form, today, thanks to new materials and production technologies, plastic and metal elements of storm sewage can have such a form:
- Semicircular gutters are the most common. Sometimes it is made with additional rigids ribs that increase the mechanical strength of the system.
- Semi-elliptic gutters are distinguished by the fact that such a flow accommodates a larger amount of water, therefore, the performance of the storm sewage increases.
- Rectangular or square gutters are more often produced under the order and selected under a certain exterior of the house. Such a flow system is quite complex, so make it with your own hands it is unlikely to succeed. Such a runa emphasizes the individuality of the cottage, but requires special installation and care.
Tip! An important point for the choice of waterfront shape is the full compliance of all elements to each other. The same form must be all connecting parts of the lavety: chute, fittings and knees, funnels and drainage pipes.
Montaja technology
Regardless of the form and material of the manufacture, the storm efflores are mounted approximately by the same technology. Consider the phased instructions as the storm drain is mounted with their own hands.
Installing funnels and brackets
At the first stage of arrangement, with their own hands of a storm flow from the roof, it is necessary to make a preliminary installation of a frontal board. This element is attached under the sink of the roof with the help of powerful screws.
The front board greatly facilitates the installation of the entire system and provides reliable and durable mount. After the front board is enshrined, proceed to installing waterfronts and brackets:
- Rainwater funnels are usually installed in the corners of the house. In this case, the slope of the gutters must be from the center of the roof to ensure normal drainage of water.
- Sometimes it is more profitable to make one drain riser in the center of the facade. In this case, the funnel and the pipe must have an increased diameter to ensure the timely stock of a large amount of water.
- Funnels are attached to the frontal board using self-tapping screws.
After that, start installing brackets:
- The distance between the brackets for all materials of the lavender is 50-60 cm.
- Also, the brackets need to be set at a distance of 5-10 cm from the funnel. This is removed by an additional burden from the funnel, because the stock will not lie on it.
- To withstand the desired slope towards the funnel, you can pull a thin line. It is convenient to control the process of mounting brackets.
Tip! It is believed that the optimal solution is the use of brackets from the same material from which the main elements of the railway are manufactured: gutter and pipes.
Installation of grooves
The standard chute length is 2 and 4 meters, which must be taken into account by purchasing material. Install the stock in the following order:
- As a rule, the draining is installed with their own hands without much effort: the brackets have special grooves in which the edges of the gutters are becoming.
- For reliable fastening of the grooves, some models of brackets have special fixtures, and the rest are the latch system.
- Between themselves, plastic gutters are connected by special couplings, and metal stock - with the help of a folding connection.
- The ends of the extreme grooves need to be made deaf to eliminate the drain of water. For this, plugs with rubber seals are used.
Installation of drain pipes
To ensure the right drop of water from the roof, drainage pipes are installed:
- Their attachment to the facade of the house is made using a clamp with a long mounting screw.
- For compounding with chobs, connective knees are used, having an angle of 45 °.
Tip! So that the water from the roof splashes the facade of the house, it is recommended to install a rainmaker or use an extra knee and fill sided away from the foundation.
We looked at how to make an organized flow of water from the pitched roof of a private house. Quite often, if there is a vegetable garden or garden on the countryside, a large container is substituted under the mountaineering, for example, a barrel for collecting water: then it can be used for watering.
