地下室进水
帮助 reduce sewer or drain losses in your basement by checking drainage, 安装水泵，减少回流.
没有人想在家里经历污水备份. 考虑ing how much damage can be caused by water in your basement, it makes sense to spend some time testing out your drainage system and addressing any problems before a catastrophe occurs.
Here are a few ways to help keep your basement clean and dry.
测试排水系统
几个小时的工作可以帮助你避免地下室潮湿. 回顾一下排水清单，帮助你开始:
- Your home's gutter downspouts should extend at least 10 feet away from the foundation of the house so water can be carried away from basement walls.
- 清理排水沟 at least twice a year to help prevent them from overflowing. Leaves and debris can clog gutters and might send water back toward your roof, walls or foundation.
- Gutters and downspouts should not be connected to municipal sewage lines.
- Your yard should be graded to slope away from the house so surface water doesn't pool by the foundation.
- If your gutters connect to storm sewers, keep drain lines clear.
考虑水泵

有几种类型的水泵, 包括单泵和双级系统, 哪些使用备用泵. 通常, batteries or a generator can be used to power the backup sump pump in case of a power failure. A backup will typically need to be changed every 7 to 10 years.
如果你想为你的家买一个水泵, check with your local plumbing contractor or building code official for additional requirements.
防止回流
回来flow is the reversal of water in any plumbing system. It can lead to undesirable basement leaking and flooding.
Some homes are equipped with check valve devices that allow water and sewage backup to flow away from the drain, preventing water and sewage from backing up into the drain. Gate valve devices operate like a gate, closing and shutting off the flow of water and sewage.
Drain plugs and standpipes can also be used to prevent backflow. Both are relatively inexpensive solutions, but also come with their own risks. Drain plugs seal off the flow of water but can cause an overflow to occur at the next opening in the system. 那硕大, 或者垂直管道连接并密封到排水管上, 能容纳少量溢流并起到安全阀的作用吗, 但只能控制回流到它们的高度, 通常只有三英尺.
If you think you're having problems with backflow, contact a plumber or contractor immediately.
防止地下室进水
以下是一些防止渗水的方法:
- Waterproof basement walls, both interior and exterior facing.
- 应用混凝土涂层和密封剂, waterproofing paint or plastic sheets to interior walls to help prevent condensation.
- 在地基裂缝处涂上填缝剂或水泥.
- Build up the soil around your house to drain water away from your home. Over time, the dirt settles and water can run directly into your basement.
- Replace dated water heaters and worn out pipes to help avoid a 淹没了地下室.
