Fecal sewerage Fecal sewerage

Why should you contact Ecology 24?

• Affordable price for cleaning sewerage in Moscow;
• We work using proven technologies and use special equipment (washing and sludge removal machines, fecal pumps);
• We clean drainage systems.

How we are working?

Which of the four sewer cleaning methods we use depends on the blockage and the material of the pipes. If the pipes are heavily clogged, we clean the pipes using several methods in succession.

1. Hydrodynamic method: flushing the sewer using a special machine. Its electric drive supplies water into the pipeline under high pressure (≈ 200 atmospheres). In addition, the hose has nozzles, so the water flows move so reactively that they clear fecal matter and other blockages from the walls of the main pipe. By periodically cleaning the sewer using the hydrodynamic method, emergency situations can be avoided, and its trouble-free service life is significantly increased. The use of the hydrodynamic method does not destroy the pipe material. In addition, the method does not harm the environment, since no chemicals are used;
2. Chemical method: cleaning fecal sewage using chemical reagents: surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, chemically active substances. The method is often used in conjunction with hydrodynamic flushing of the pipeline. After using the reagents, we flush the pipes. This prevents destruction of the pipeline and sealing elements by chemicals.
3. Mechanical sewer cleaning. To do this, we use special equipment - pneumatic, root cutting or drilling. The design of the cleaning heads does not damage the inner surface of the pipes. Thanks to the flexible shaft, all turns of sewerage pipes are cleaned.
4. Thermal cleaning method. This is a combined method in which sewer cleaning is carried out using jets of water heated to +120 °C.

Cleaning the sewer system restores the functioning of the drainage system and eliminates blockages in hard-to-reach areas of the sewer system. The drainage system is completely cleaned and wear and tear of the sewerage pipes of country houses and process pipelines of industrial enterprises is prevented. And with proper prevention of blockages, the sewer system will work smoothly.

There are three ways to order sewer cleaning:

• Leave an online application on the website.

We will clean the fecal sewer within 2 hours, taking into account ALL the features of the pipeline!

Story

Paris sewer

The earliest structures that acted as sewers were discovered in the cities of the Indus civilization: in Mohenjo-Daro, which arose around 2598 BC. e., perhaps the first public toilets known to archaeologists were discovered, as well as the city sewerage system.

Sewerage structures were also found in ancient Babylon, the second oldest.

In Ancient Rome, a grandiose sewerage engineering project - the Great Cloaca - was created under the fifth king of Ancient Rome, Lucius Tarquinius Prisca.

In ancient China, sewers existed in several cities, such as Linzi.

Types of sewer systems used in the arrangement of a country house or cottage

Most often, in country and cottage villages there is no centralized sewer system, which leads to the need to organize.

There are several types of such sewer systems:

• The cheapest, but also the least convenient option to use is a cesspool
  ;
• Dry toilets
  do not require installation work, but they force you to regularly purchase various materials used for recycling waste, after which the problem of their disposal also arises;
• A septic tank
  is a fairly popular device because, without requiring frequent waste removal, it cleans wastewater by approximately 75%. In addition, it is enough to clean the septic tank itself once every 1-2 years;
• Filters
  and devices in which deep wastewater treatment is carried out using biological material. The high quality of cleaning is balanced by the high cost of these devices.

When installing an autonomous sewer system, the method of transporting wastewater is also important: will it move by gravity or using pumps.

Closed drainage design

Closed sewer drainage consists of ditches with drainage elements located at the bottom. The closed type stipulates that such ditches must be filled with earth.

There are several types of closed drainage structures. Let's look at them:

• simple closed systems;
• systems that contain special water collectors (trays);
• systems equipped with drainage mats.

Note! The first two types of systems are installed in order to remove water linearly or contour. The last option, which uses drainage mats, does not take this into account.

1. Simple closed drains. To lay such communications, it is necessary to dig appropriate trenches around the perimeter of a specific area. Then the ditch is backfilled with waterproof materials. Backfilling is carried out in several layers and mainly sand and crushed stone are used for these purposes. At the end, the trenches are filled with earth and compacted.

To install drains, it is necessary to prepare trenches into which a layer of geotextile is laid and crushed stone is filled

This drainage system has some operational disadvantages. For example, when organizing such a system, the possibility of monitoring the condition of the drains is excluded. Based on this, over time, the effectiveness of drainage will gradually decrease. In order to increase the efficiency of drainage and extend the service life of such a structure, it is recommended to use drains.

2. Closed structures, which include special trays. To organize a closed system with trays, one important point must be taken into account - for the installation of such a system, a scheme must be used that takes into account free passage or passage. To install the tray system, two types of trays are used. Let's look at them:

• perforated (such trays collect water from the adjacent land);
• non-perforated (for water condensation on the surface).

In addition, all trays are equipped with gratings on top. Grilles not only affect the overall aesthetics, but also perform a protective function, preventing various debris (for example, branches) from entering the system. The materials from which such gratings are made can be very different, but cast iron products are usually used.

Household network K1

The entire sewerage complex of a residential building is called a utility-fecal, or utility-household, and is designated in design and regulatory literature as sewerage K1.

This network unites plumbing receivers, such as bathtubs, sinks, sinks, toilets, bidets, etc., used for sanitary and hygienic purposes. Receiving devices are used, such as funnels, trays, ladders, and sewer pipes connecting them.

A mandatory part of plumbing fittings is a hydraulic valve. This is a U-shaped siphon half filled with water. This simple technique creates a water barrier that prevents gases from flowing back into the room. Toilets and drains are structurally made with valves; they are connected to other appliances after the drain holes.

Plumbing receivers are connected to outlets through which household wastewater enters the sewer network.

Sewage scheme K1

The pipeline part includes horizontal sections laid with a slope. They flow into risers - vertical sections that combine drains and lead them to the collector. The connection of various sections is made using shaped parts that ensure a change in the direction of the pipelines and their deflection.

A collector is a pipeline laid horizontally with a large slope, connecting the sewage system of a building with the complex of a populated area.

Ventilation piping is an essential part of the plumbing system. They run vertically and are connected to the drainage system. Ventilation helps stabilize the pressure in the sewer system. When designing drainage in small areas, drainage ventilation is provided by air draft, which is a consequence of heating the risers by the internal heat of the premises.

For the installation of a household drainage network, different types of pipe products can be used, the use of which is regulated by SNiP. In the case of waste disposal by gravity, cast iron, asbestos-cement, concrete, reinforced concrete, plastic, and glass pipes are recommended.

When implementing pressure discharge, cast iron, reinforced concrete, plastic or asbestos-cement pipes can be used. For the ventilation part, in addition to cast iron, SNiP allows the use of asbestos-cement pipes, polypropylene, and PVC pipes.

Sections of Ø 50 mm are used as outlets from appliances other than the toilet. Toilet outlets are made with Ø 110 mm. The dimensions of the elements of the entire network are determined by calculations carried out during the design of the sewer system.

Sewer K1 has its own outlet, which is arranged at an angle of 90⁰ to the outer walls, buried to a level slightly higher than the base of the foundation. If there is a basement, the release is performed above the basement floor.

The building's sewerage system is connected to the public sewer system. In the case of a country cottage, it is possible to organize a shambo sewer system, when waste is discharged into a receiving pit on the site and is periodically pumped out and removed. In this case, you should organize vehicle access to the drainage pit.

Compliance with all standards and high-quality installation of household wastewater disposal is a guarantee of reliable operation of the entire wastewater disposal unit.

Kinds

Surface drainage is designed to protect the site from excess rain and melt water. This system is especially popular among homeowners who take a responsible approach to the arrangement of private territory and the protection of buildings. Installation of an open drainage system prevents subsidence and destruction of building foundations, asphalt surfaces and paved paths, and protects tree roots from excess moisture.

Surface drainage is represented by two types:

• linear;
• spot.

Linear drainage consists of deep gutters stretched across the site, mounted from plastic or made of concrete. Such a system is installed in areas occupying large areas.

Design and installation diagram of linear drainage systems

Point drainage is a system of storm water inlets connected to storm sewers. This system also includes sand receptacles designed to prevent sewer clogging. The guys from .

There is no point in comparing these two types of drainage; each of them complements each other. Experts, for more practical and high-quality water disposal, recommend combining these two types. In this case, drainage will be as efficient as possible.

Design and arrangement of point drainage

Classification of wastewater and sewerage systems

A necessary form of cleaning populated areas from wastewater is sewerage. Its task is to remove water and liquid waste generated as a result of household activities of the population of cities, towns and the work of industrial enterprises. Together with surface waters (irrigation, atmospheric, groundwater) that appear on the surface of urban and rural areas, liquid waste is a contaminated liquid and is called wastewater. They contain chemical, biological and organic components. They must be removed, cleaned, disinfected and sent to the nearest water bodies. The sewer system and drains serve this purpose.

Wastewater is divided into the following categories:

• * household or household - from houses, industrial buildings, formed as a result of human activity. Contain organic, mineral, bacterial contaminants;
• * production - from industrial enterprises, resulting from technological processes. Contain organic, mineral, toxic contaminants;
• * atmospheric - from city areas, roofs of houses, rainwater, melt water. Contains mineral and chemical contaminants.

Drainage systems depend on the composition of wastewater. The degree of pollution is characterized by the amount of pollution per unit volume. The concentration of pollutants depends on the rate of water consumption in a populated area, the nature of the production site for collecting sedimentary water, and its quantity. The wastewater sewerage system ensures the reception, transportation, purification, disinfection, and disposal of useful substances into the reservoir. There are two types of sewerage: export and floating.

Export sewerage is based on the removal of individual volumes of liquid to aeration fields.

A floating sewer consists of a system of underground pipelines and devices that transport wastewater to treatment facilities. This system is most common in large populated areas. To install it, you must have an internal water supply with a consumption rate of at least 60 l/day per person

The floating sewerage system consists of internal devices, external networks, pumping stations, treatment facilities and wastewater discharge devices.

Floating sewerage, depending on how the issue of wastewater disposal is resolved, is divided into storm sewer, fecal (domestic) sewerage, general alloy sewerage, separate (complete, incomplete), semi-separate and combined.

The all-alloy sewer system carries out the removal of storm wastewater by one pipeline system, which comes after rain from urban areas through storm-intake grates, and household wastewater, coming from residential buildings and industrial buildings. With separate sewerage, two independent wastewater disposal systems are used: storm sewerage (drainage) and domestic and fecal sewerage. Wastewater from industrial enterprises is discharged by a separate system to purify it from specific contaminants. Currently, a separate sewerage system is most applicable.

Step-by-step installation of a storm drain

1. The first stage is characterized by carrying out the necessary calculations for designing a sewerage system. First, calculations should be made regarding the drainage of water from structures, since if it accumulates impressively, deformation and destruction of the external walls of the building may follow. The next step is to calculate drainage from hard-surfaced areas (paved parking).
2. Having identified areas that need water drainage, a number of actions should be taken to ensure that moisture does not linger there. If we look at the roof of the building, then there are no questions with it - storm water is collected by the drainage system. To preserve the paths of the yard and parking lot from the effects of wastewater, professionals recommend making a slope during construction, and then the water will naturally flow into existing gutters or water inlets. Note that similar moisture interception devices are also installed under the ends of drainpipes, which collect water flows coming from the roof of the building.
3. Having carried out the necessary calculations and made drainage gutters and funnels, it is necessary to carry out work regarding the removal of unnecessary moisture into the wastewater treatment system or away from the dacha (suburban) area.
4. Drainage to water intakes can be done in two ways:
   open - the water flows into special holes, closed in the upper section with gratings;
5. closed - water moves through a system of underground pipes to a collection and disposal point.
6. When installing pipes, you must be guided by the same installation principle as with gutters, namely, all structures of the storm system must be placed at a certain slope towards the drainage area. This angle is calculated in the same way as when installing an external sewer system.
7. Pipes related to the drainage system are not allowed to be buried too deep into the ground. Storm sewers operate exclusively in the warm season, and they are not afraid of freezing.
8. To prevent clogging of the system, it is necessary to install special filters to collect large particles of debris. In addition, it is recommended to install sand traps that effectively filter sand particles. When laying pipes in a closed manner, in the area where filters and sand traps are installed, hatches and inspection wells should be installed for unscheduled drainage cleaning and routine maintenance.

A properly installed storm drain in a private house with your own hands will save the owners of a private house from a large number of puddles, flooding, slush, and will also protect the foundation of the building from gradual destruction.

Industrial treatment and wastewater disposal K3

Sewerage K3, used for the removal of industrial waste, is called industrial. Unlike household water, it also contains the necessary treatment facilities. All process wastewater can be divided into two groups: lightly contaminated, which does not require treatment, and contaminated, which cannot be discharged into water bodies without preliminary treatment.

Sewage diagram k3

Since technological waste can have various inclusions, depending on the type of production, they may contain salts of heavy metals, phenols, toxic substances, etc. The presence of such inclusions determines the use of different structures of engineering communications. Such a structure may consist of:

• Plumbing receivers for drains.
• Diversion structures of industrial buildings.
• Treatment facilities.
• Transfer pumping unit.
• Release to the utility network.

When organizing this type of wastewater disposal, special attention is paid to treatment facilities. Depending on the degree and type of contamination, whole blocks or individual elements can be used

Wastewater treatment is regulated by regulatory technical documents.

Testing wastewater for the content of harmful substances and determining the permissible concentration is regulated by GOST requirements.

The sewerage system is a complex set of engineering equipment, including, in addition to plumbing fixtures, powerful pumping units and modern cleaning devices. Properly arranged water supply and wastewater disposal improve the environmental situation of populated areas.

Not only wastewater from industrial enterprises, but even domestic sewage from an ordinary country house must be thoroughly cleaned. Wastewater from even such a small facility can seriously harm the surrounding environment if it is not properly treated before being discharged into open water bodies or ground. Not so long ago, cesspools were built to collect sewage from a private house or cottage. But recently they are practically not used due to non-compliance with sanitary standards. Now wastewater is collected in special facilities, where, after careful processing, it is 95-99% purified and can be freely discharged into water bodies or soil. In our article we will look at how domestic wastewater is treated.

To begin with, it is worth understanding the composition and characteristics of domestic sewage wastewater. This is the name of the water that was used in households. needs or in production. In addition, wastewater includes atmospheric waters that are collected from the surface of the earth.

For the correct selection of household cleaning technology. and industrial wastewater, you need to know the nature of the pollution. Thus, there are three types of wastewater pollution:

1. Pollutants of mineral origin. This includes all inorganic impurities, for example, soil particles, salts of various origins, as well as various inorganic chemical elements and compounds. Such pollutants can be present both in domestic wastewater and in wastewater received from industrial enterprises.
2. Organic pollutants are present in large quantities in households. drains. This includes complex elements of animal and plant origin. Also included in this group of pollutants are various chemical and polymeric organic compounds. As for household sewage wastewater, 80-90 percent of it consists of impurities of organic origin. As part of the household In wastewater, such pollutants are present in the form of fecal matter, food debris, and peelings from vegetables and fruits.
3. Biological pollutants are various microorganisms that live in wastewater and feed on the elements contained in the effluent. So, bacteria, fungi, viruses live in large quantities in sewage, there are helminth eggs and other protozoa.

Open drainage design

Such systems are installed on the surface of the earth, and water is drained into special containers or ditches. Surface drainage design is the most budget option, and its installation takes the least time. To implement such a system, you will need to dig ditches that must correspond to certain dimensions.

An important point when organizing drainage sewerage is the slope. The slope of such a system should go from the residential building to the sewers. Without an appropriate slope, water simply will not move through the trenches. You should also make sure that melt or rain water flowing from the roof falls into pre-organized trenches along the blind area and recesses along the paths.

The underground drainage system will not create inconvenience for residents of the site

The main disadvantage of such drainage is its unpresentable appearance. In addition, open trenches on the site can cause various kinds of inconvenience for the residents of the house. Therefore, experts recommend constructing drainage systems that contain prefabricated trays or constructing the structure underground.

Gravity sewer systems

The most popular type of sewer system for self-organization is gravity sewerage, in which wastewater, under the influence of gravity, moves into a sump through pipes laid at a certain slope.

The advantages of such a sewerage system are its low cost, ease of maintenance and independence from external energy sources, and the only disadvantage is that the sump must be located at a limited distance from the drains.

Owners of houses connected to a centralized sewer system do not need to independently maintain the sewer systems, but they should pay their bills for sewer use up-to-date, otherwise they may face such a problem as turning off the sewer system for non-payers.

When creating an autonomous sewer system, everything is much more complicated.

The first step is to decide on the type of sewer system, wisely weighing all the pros and cons of various systems.

For example, when choosing the type of autonomous sewage system, many people prefer a cheaper and easier-to-equip cesspool, rejecting the option of installing a modern system with wastewater treatment as expensive and difficult to install, without taking into account that the service life of the cesspool is noticeably shorter.

The construction of a system with treatment facilities requires at the initial stage certain costs for the hydraulic calculation of the sewer network, materials for installing the system, and wages for specialists installing the sewer system, but much less trouble arises during the operation phase.

The undoubted advantages of modern sewer systems over the same cesspools also include the absence of an unpleasant odor and a negative impact on the environmental installation,

In addition, simpler sewer systems require more financial investment in maintenance and repair.

Just to remove waste from the cesspool, you will have to call sewer trucks at least twice a month, whereas a conventional septic tank only requires annual cleaning of the chambers, and installations that carry out complete biological treatment of wastewater require even lower maintenance costs, since only replacement of the filter membrane is required once every 2-3 years.

All this allows modern sewer systems to recoup installation costs during the operation phase due to low maintenance costs.

Before you start building a country house, country house or cottage, you should study in detail the various types of sewage systems in order to have an idea of ​​their advantages and disadvantages, and then choose the most suitable option, taking into account all sorts of factors, from the area in which construction is taking place to the amount , which can be spent on sewerage installations.

The internal sewer network (Fig. 10.1) includes waste liquid collection devices installed in apartments (baths, washbasins, toilets, sinks), outlet pipelines, sewer risers, outlets to external networks located in the basement or underground. In industrial-type buildings of prefabricated housing construction, sanitary-technical cabins of separate and combined types of factory production are used to place sanitary facilities. Schemes for the location of sanitary fixtures, water supply, gas and ventilation devices have been developed.

The internal system includes devices for cleaning the network and sewerage. All receiving devices in bathrooms and kitchens are equipped with hydraulic valves, which are called siphons. The siphon is a curved channel filled with water to a height of 60 mm, closing the outlet of gases. Outlet pipes from appliances are connected to risers, so it is advisable to place all wastewater receivers under each other, connecting them to one riser. The diameter of the riser is assumed to be the same over the entire height, equal to the maximum diameter of the connected outlet pipes. The risers will be placed openly near the walls or hidden in the walls or shafts. Pipes used are cast iron, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyethylene (PVP).

On the risers on the first and last floors, as well as three floors in height, cleaning devices are provided - inspections at a height of 1 m from the floor level. To clean horizontal sections of pipes, cleaning valves are also installed. The internal sewerage system is gravity flowing with incomplete filling of the pipes. The speed of movement of wastewater through pipes must be no less than the self-cleaning speed - 0.7 m/s.

Insulation of sewer pipes

Pipeline insulation is necessary if you live in a region with frosty winters or do not want to dig a trench that is too deep. What materials are used as insulation for shallow sewers:

• glass wool;
• mineral wool;
• foamed polystyrene.

To be 100% sure that the system will not freeze in harsh climates, install a heating cable. It has a special sensor that will work if the temperature drops to the minimum permissible. The additional expense will quickly pay for itself, because you won’t have to repair the sewer if it freezes. In addition, it will be possible to save on excavation work: thanks to insulation, there will be no need to dig deep trenches.

According to localization, domestic sewerage is divided into 2 types

• internal sewerage - includes all plumbing and pipelines installed in the building;
• external sewerage - ensures the removal of wastewater from buildings, for which a pipeline, sewage pumping stations, treatment plants and other devices are used.

The internal sewerage system receives wastewater at the point of its generation and discharges it outside the building into the external sewerage network.

Domestic wastewater includes water from toilets, showers, baths, kitchens, as well as water from washing premises. Pollution can be fecal - contaminated with organic waste and household - contaminated with household chemicals.

External sewerage is designed to transport wastewater outside populated areas or enterprises to treatment facilities. There, wastewater is neutralized and purified to the levels established by regulatory documents, after which the water is released into the reservoir without disturbing its natural state.

The sludge formed as a result of wastewater treatment is disposed of or used in the national economy, for example in the production of building materials, road surfaces or fertilizers for agricultural needs.

In a separate row there is a domestic sewage system, installed in places where there is no centralized drainage system or the inability to connect to one. As a rule, this is a suburban building or an old, non-sewered foundation in cities. The following types of domestic sewerage are used here.

1. A cesspool or drainage pit is the simplest structure, which is a pit, the walls of which are made of brick, stone or reinforced with concrete. Probably the only advantage of this type is its low cost. The main disadvantages of cesspools are: a fetid odor, which is especially noticeable when removing wastewater from the pit, as well as the penetration of potentially dangerous bacteria from wastewater into the environment and contamination of groundwater. Accumulated waste is removed using sewage disposal equipment.

2. Storage tank - a plastic, fiberglass, iron or concrete tank connected to the building’s sewer system. It receives contaminated wastewater, which is then pumped out by special machines. Unlike a cesspool, this storage tank is completely sealed and does not harm the environment.

3. A septic tank is a closed settling tank, usually consisting of three communicating sections. In each of them, wastewater is purified from certain wastes: in the first - suspended particles, in the second - organic waste. The third section is made leaky in order to remove purified water by infiltration through the ground. The deposited sediment is also removed using special equipment or manually.

4. A deep treatment station (local treatment facilities) is a complex system where water purification is carried out not only mechanically (filtration) and physical laws (separation of heavy and light fractions of pollution), but also with the help of special microorganisms, for which a favorable environment is created. . It is, without a doubt, the best option for autonomous sewerage on the site, but requires significant financial costs. Therefore, this type of domestic sewage system is used to service several buildings or even an entire settlement.

For the high-quality functioning of any type of domestic sewage system, periodic cleaning of its elements is required: pipes and valves, pumps and tanks, checking automated control systems, replacing filter materials, etc. In order to prevent emergency situations and save material resources, it is necessary to carry out regular preventive maintenance - the only effective method of maintaining the working condition of the domestic sewage system.

Carrying out installation work

As with any construction, all the necessary preparatory work takes place at the very beginning. At the first stage, a site plan is marked on paper and a drawing of the future drainage system is made, then the necessary calculations of building materials are made.

Next, the actual preparation of the channels for future drainage begins. Trenches must be dug with a depth of at least 10 cm and taking into account the fact that decorative grilles are installed with a slight penetration into the ground. After the channels have been dug and the foundation has been created, they begin pouring the concrete mixture. The thickness of the concrete layer is about 10 cm. Then sand traps are installed in the concrete and plastic gutters are laid on them. To obtain the highest quality and durable drainage, it is recommended to additionally perform waterproofing: lay a waterproofing material (roofing felt or roofing felt) between the gutters and concrete.

The final stage includes connecting the drainage system to the sewer system. This is done using a pipe. To top it off, decorative protective grilles are installed.

Check out our coated interior gutters

The internal drainage system is designed to drain atmospheric precipitation through a network of pipelines through the building into a storm drain (city drain). The internal drain consists of drainage funnels, pipelines, outlets, devices for cleaning and inspecting the network through audits.

Drainage funnels are installed in low areas of roofs, one or two per section of a residential building, in tray roofing panels. The number of funnels on the roofs of other buildings is calculated from the condition that there is one funnel per 250...500 m2 of roof area. A minimum slope of 0.025 is provided to the funnels due to a constructive solution or a screed made of cement-sand mortar.

Internal drainage risers are installed from cast iron free-flow pipes in buildings up to three floors high, from cast iron pressure pipes - in buildings over three floors. Drainage risers can also be made of steel, asbestos-cement and plastic pipes with appropriate justification. The minimum diameter of drainage pipes is 50 mm. They are laid along building structures, hidden or open.

Life is impossible without water. Water supply systems for settlements and individual buildings can be called methods of ensuring life support. And drainage is an integral part of them.

All plumbing fixtures and pipes that are used to remove human waste and recycled water form an internal sewer system. According to the network, it is limited by the walls of buildings, exits up to the first inspection well. Typically, wastewater is discharged by gravity, but, if necessary, pumps are used for transfer.

Building sewerage includes the following types:

• Household – K1.
• Industrial - K3.
• Stormwater (includes drains from the roofs of houses) - K2.
• United – K1+K3.

Storm sewer K2

To remove rainwater, a storm drainage system is installed - K2. It represents a plumbing system of funnels, gutters, pipes, filters for purifying wastewater from sand. Open type structures are most often used. Drainage is carried out using open gutters or channels.

Sewage scheme K2

They transport water flows to the underground part of the complex. For drainage, PVC pipes are used, including corrugated pipes with a smooth inner surface, and asbestos-cement pipes.

Properly arranged and designed in accordance with technical regulations, K2 sewerage will protect the building from subsidence and cracking of walls. Upon completion of installation, the system must be tested by an organization that has the appropriate license.

Calculation as an integral part of the work performed

Without carrying out the necessary calculations, you can forget about the positive result of the task being performed. In the event that the storm drain does not cope with its intended function, then there is no need for its installation. In addition, when creating a larger storm drainage system with your own hands, there is a risk of investing a larger amount of money. In this regard, there is a need to recalculate all possible costs. To ensure accurate calculations, finding out the following information will help:

1. Physical and chemical properties of soil.
2. Drainage area.
3. Data on the average amount of recorded precipitation in your region and region. To obtain this information, you can contact SNIP.
4. Information about accessible communications located underground.
5. When planning the drainage of melt water, it is necessary to take into account the frequency of precipitation and the thickness of the snow cover.
