Any large project consists of many small nuances, and losing one of them can ruin the common cause. In the construction of the building of such elements may be a system of sewers. It seems to be a trifle, but its lack of ability to deal with life spoil the homeowner. Tarnished suffering "Rain pokapal and passed, the sun in the whole world - it's very good ..." if there is rainwater. The value of drainage system in the life of buildings becomes more apparent just after the rain, especially heavy. If you enjoy the sun has come out in rubber boots, then forgot about the drain, or installed incorrectly. The roof of the building sheltering the building from rain and snow, but its area is the site collecting large amount of moisture. If she did not organize the "escape route", every rainy day will approximate the demolition of a building. Water flows flowing from the roof after rain or during snow melt, can not only wet feet, but the foundation. If her "help" comes a little breeze, then the facade of a building is not big trouble. Particularly felt by this negativity so-called "wet" plastered facades. Suffers not only the appearance of: excess moisture penetrating the walls and foundation of the house, greatly reduces the insulating properties of materials. She also becomes the cause of the destruction, as the expanded and contracted again with sharp temperature changes ("zero crossing"). Not escape the negative impact of the roof itself, especially if she has a complex configuration. Water or snow can accumulate in the irregularities of the roof, than to cause its deformation and cause leakage. Mainstream systems divert water away from the building, and along with it and avoid all these troubles will help drainage system. The main element of it - is a drain, which consists of a system of gutters and downpipes. Additional elements - Transition and connecting the knee, blind grooves, tees, funnels, etc. - Need more so than the complex architecture of the building. It must be taken into account to correctly identify a set of necessary components and their sizes. Calculate the parameters of the runoff is not so difficult, but it must be done at the design stage roof. Therefore, the optimal solution is to simultaneously address issues laying the roof and gutters of one organization contracting firm. In general, the calculation of the size of the elements of runoff depends on the area of ??roof slopes. If it does not exceed 100 square meters. m, then we can install gutter small size, made-up to a drainpipe. She is able to withdraw "calamity" from the roof area of ??100 sq.m. Roof slope of 200 sq.m. allows you to choose between installing additional pipes and a large element size. Cope with water collected from roofs larger, of course, can only large-size gutters. For metal gutters (we can mention the complex system Ruukki - a leading European provider of solutions made of metal) the size of small troughs, as a rule, is 125 mm, tubes - 87 mm, size large, respectively - 150 mm and 100 mm. For the most popular method of installation of sewer hook fasteners are used. To help the flow of water to find the mouth, you must install to withstand a small slope - about 2-2,5 mm per meter of wastewater. In this case, designers are advised not to install the gutter, falling on a funnel, a length of 10 meters. Two downspouts need to sustain the slope in opposite directions, the length of gutter can be up to 20 m. Rainwater picked up the appropriate style "razmerchik, you should not lose sight of the aesthetic requirements for the drainage system. First, its appearance must fit into a union of the roof and facade of the house. Profile gutters are usually round or rectangular. The range of color performance drainage system wide. The most popular shades of brown, gray and green - exactly as homeowners see their roof, and with them, and gutters, as well as white - a stark contrast in the design. A set of colors depends on the material, of which the drains. Installers offer a choice of plastic, steel and copper. They are all in varying degrees meet the requirements that apply to the gutters. This, above all, longevity, durability and strength. Copper, of course, provides all these features the system, but its price deemed acceptable, not all. Plastic guttering is well tolerated temperature drops and are resistant to ultraviolet. But here's the weight to move down from the roof caps of snow and can not survive. On the strength of their far superior steel gutter system. Plain galvanized steel are increasingly giving way to steel with polymer coating. This is because homeowners tend to solve the problem of drainage of rain and melt water without disturbing the respectable image of the building. Galvanized steel also looks gray and faceless, and may eventually become covered with whitish or, worse, red stains. The polymer coating also makes it possible to vary not only design, but protects the material from mechanical effects, as well as moisture and ultraviolet radiation. In the manufacture of drainage systems using steel, protected with plastic from both sides, so they are not afraid of falling into a drain or a branch or going down the drainpipe cats. Manufacturers offer gutters made of galvanized steel with different polymer coatings, which are not the same characteristics. The most common coverage: Plastisol, Polyester, and the development of the company Ruukki - Pural (Puranas). Plastisol has high corrosion resistance and resistance to mechanical stress due to the large thickness of the coating. But not tolerate temperatures above + 60 ° C and the minimum processing temperature - +10 oC. Coating of polyester, in contrast, are more resistant to climatic extremes (from-10oC to +90 oC), but resistance to corrosion and mechanical damage is satisfactory. In developing Pural into account the entire set of requirements, so the company is a manufacturer guarantees 15 years, during which he was not afraid of scratches, the sun was not offended by coating, and acid rain is not "corrode". Steel gutters distinguishes another opportunity to buy them bundled with roofing. After all, more owners prefer metal roofing, and enterprises engaged in its manufacture, offer to pick up and set to drain the system. As a result of such a union gutters and pipes are not contrasted with a general manner of construction, and serve as a frame of the roof. Fighting with icicles gutter system helps protect the house from rain and melt water, but it has to protect itself from the consequences of Russian climate features. As it turns out, the frequent thaws, followed by sharp frosts bring inconvenience not only to high blood pressure, but also drain. On the edge of the roof, in gutters and hoppers can collect snow and melt water. After cold snap, they turn into ice, which subsequently melt unevenly and cause drainage. Decide whether ice caps and icicles, you can use ... shovels, regularly knocking off these winter growths. But many can not afford these exercises time. To protect yourself from headaches and drains from accumulated snow and ice, set de-icing protection system. They represent the heating cables: constant resistance - resistance (eg, TXLP / a Nxans) or self-regulating (eg, G-Trace). They are fixed on the edge of the roof and along the length of gutter fixing tape, and drain pipes hung with special hooks. Self-regulating cable can be used without a thermostat - its power output is determined depending on ambient temperature. If you are using a resistive wire, the experts advised to supplement the system controller. It regulates the power depending on temperature (eg, thermostat ETR 1447) or may take into consideration the presence of snow (for example, the controller ETO-1550). A control system reduces power consumption by 60-70% fewer problems is "cold" roof, which has good insulation and no heat from the heat at home. To get rid of icicles in the thaw, it is sufficient to establish a system of gutters and pipes. If, however, because of the heat loss roof is heated, then a layer of snow formed by melt water, which falls on the frozen gutters and turns into ice. To avoid this, experts recommend the use of de-icing system and on the edge of the roof. Enhance the protection may require and flat roof. Find the capacity of the system (from 30 to 60W / m) depending on the type of roof and gutters will help experts. Rain gutter as a reserve - a channel along which water is directed. In its dealings with the building and surrounding area should stand point - the point of collection. The organization of this final element of the system owners have the greatest freedom of choice. If you use water that collects on the roof is not necessary, then forwarded to the rainwater drain well. To deliver it, you can use a linear system of drainage, which includes storm-water inlets, drainage gutters and pipes. Channels are laid around the perimeter of the building and along the tracks. If necessary, install sand traps. However, the rain and melt water can successfully compensate for the lack of moisture in the water off or at lower pressure. The easiest way to use it - is to build the reservoir, which may be as a barrel, as well as special container, which is usually hidden from view beneath the ground. Operates vessels of various materials, it may be concrete, galvanized steel, polyethylene, fiberglass, etc., as long as they do not change their properties over time. Fresh water, which can gather up a few, depends on the annual rainfall for the area. For example, for the central region of the figure is about 500-700 mm, with allowance for losses by evaporation corresponds to 333 - 466 liters of water with 1 sq.m. catchment area, ie roof. Use this water for irrigation may be, simply use the pump. Keep in mind that many pumps can pump only clean water, so at the entrance to the reservoir, you must install a strainer. You can take advantage and finished the installation, for example, Hydrorain firm GRUNDFOS, part of which, in addition to tanks of different capacity, includes pump and a membrane accumulator. A result of this rainwater can be used not only for irrigation, but also in the house as a technical one. Many note the softness of this water, so it can be used for water supply to toilets, to bring the washing machine. To do this, just connect the installation of a seasonal water supply. Should be warned that using water for drinking is not highly desirable because of possible contamination of the atmosphere with sulfur dioxide. The rain that poured onto the roof, and melting snow cap can bring home a lot of troubles and its owner. But thanks to the gutter system is easy to get rid of damp problems. And adding to its de-icing system that can not be afraid of heavy rains and winter surprises. Importantly - be cautious!
