Only method further isolate an already existing house - putting an insulating layer on top of concrete. The temperature in the concrete slab will decrease as the heat will stay in the house. Very sensible to build in electric heating spirals to the floor in connection with additional insulation, which will facilitate drying, and prevents moisture. If you are building a new house with a basement, you should not skimp on a good waterproofing. But if the rebuilding basement in an old house, then you need to know a few things. The basement wall is exposed to moisture inside and out. Therefore, external waterproofing should not give moisture to penetrate from the outside and pass it from within.
To do this, suitable synthetic material with an air gap or of cellular plastic, which has draining properties. Moisture penetrates primarily in the lower part of the outer wall of the basement near the floor, it can spoil and the walls inside. To avoid this it is necessary to make sure that the water from the gutters was assigned to the desired length. For external waterproofing to dig a trench around the house, repaired the crack in the wall oblitsevat its waterproofing material and lay drainage pipes in the drainage material. During the work, pay attention to the surface had a slope away from the house. Additional internal wall insulation is better removed. House with a low foundation is also susceptible to moisture penetration. The best countermeasure - a heat-insulating layer to put on the ground. It remains cold, and evaporation does not occur. With the advent of moisture in the house with a low basis appear rot and mold on the underside of the beam overlap, bend beams and boards sex; formed fungi; spots on the floor. Too high a humidity in the cellar is due to poor drainage, improper soil under the house, poor ventilation cellar, water under the foundation. To resolve these problems, check the drainage system, improve ventilation, reduce evaporation from the soil, remove organic residues from the underground Align the hole under the house, provide a diversion of water from gutters at least two meters. The house has a low basis to provide additional insulation easier. If you can get under the house, there is no need to open the floor. Problems with the foundation
