Increased humidity contributes to the formation of toxic bacteria, fungi and mold, leads to the destruction of the room, which is fraught with the cost of repairs. How to get rid of condensate in the cellar once and forever? Excessive moisture is eliminated in several ways, each of which is not complicated for self-execution.

Where does condensate come from?

Condensate on the ceiling in the cellar occurs because of the dampness indoors and significantly reduces the storage time products. Evaporations are settled in the form of drops of dew on the ceiling and walls of the room, when the temperature in it is lower than outside. In the autumn-spring period, the formation of condensate does not occur. It appears either in winter, frost or in the summer.
There are several reasons for the formation of ceiling and wall dew:

• irregular ventilation or its absence;
• groundwater, which are too close to the surface of the Earth;
• air deficiency for ventilating basement;
• the absence of drying, hydro and thermal insulation of the basement;
• pipeline communications;
• incorrectly organized drainage.

Under the observance of the norms of the construction of the basement of Rosyanny drops should not be formed. But if the problem arose as a result of the operation of the structure, it is worth drying the cellar.

Condensation with destroyed base

An explanation, why condensate accumulates in the cellar, may be the destruction of the foundation of the house. This applies to basements that are located directly at home. The base is subjected to destruction if trees and shrubs with a massive root system are growing closely near the building.
In the absence of a lavety, water that drips on the walls during the rains, destroys the foundation. These factors lead to the formation of cracks. Through the gaps in the cellar penetrates unnecessary moisture and condensate is formed. What to do in this case? There are several techniques:

• it is necessary to equip the waste system on the roof, which will not allow the water to pour onto the walls and destroy the house.
• near the foundation should not grow large trees and bushes.
• cracks that appear should be maintained to repair so as not to harm the basement and the whole house.

The protection of the foundation can be done at the construction stage - this is practical. If the problem arose during the operation of the building - follow the above sealing and drying algorithm.

How to dry the cellar independently: current methods

When a unwanted condensate is detected in the cellar, you need to drain the room. An ordinary ventilation basement can not be saved - the incoming air will cool and settle dew drops.
The drying of the vegetable store is carried out by an iron oven or with brazier, candles (the natural traction is improved), drying devices or domestic on-house facilities. Starting the event, consider that the furnace or the brazier is relevant on large areas. In small-sized buildings, there are less expensive ways.

Preparatory moments

To eliminate wet sediments on the walls and the ceiling of the cellar, you need to perform a number of preliminary tasks:

• purification area from unsuitable last year's crop;
• takeaway to the street of wooden pallets, racks and shelves;
• processing of products from wood with a solution of household soap divorced in hot water, their further drying;
• applying antiseptics or anti-corrosion sorties;
• disinfection of room limestone.

To fulfill the preparatory work, the basement must be carried out within a few days, and then to treat hot air.

Drying

Brazier helps to get rid of high humidity in the garage or basement quickly and efficiently. The room is recommended for several days, and only after such a procedure start drying. The procedure is carried out like this:

• brazier is installed on the floor of the cellar;
• fire flames, and is maintained until the moisture is completely evaporated;
• instead of ferry, use the old iron bucket. Fish a fire in the bucket stands to the descent to the bottom of the basement.

Prevent the appearance of water on the walls and the ceiling by organizing ventilation. Otherwise, every summer period is worth using brazier. The procedure is recommended to be carried out before booking a new batch of vegetables.

Sushchest Candle

Sew the basement with the help of a candle is much safer than to use a brazier or a bucket. The event will take longer, but the result will be no less qualitative. To dry the cellar of the candle, you need to take the following actions:

• grilled candle to install under the ventilation shaft;
• to the flame to bring additional pipes to provide traction.

Increased thrust contributes to the rapid replacement of wet air on dry, but drying of overall underground rooms is performed poorly.

Using air dryers

If the previous methods of eliminating moisture turned out to be ineffective - use special air dryers. Devices can qualitatively set up high humidity, maintain the allowable moisture level in the room. Instruments can be purchased in any large construction supermarket.
Principle of operation of the dryer from the store:

• Air passes through the device and cooled. Excess moisture is collected in a special compartment.
• The device does not heat, but cools the air. There are products that heat the exit air to the starting temperature.
• Modern dryers can be compared with air conditioning, as they work on Freon.

Air dryers are indispensable with a large quadrature of the basement, in a residential structure or in agricultural farms.

Other ways to drain the cellar

Well copes with the function of the dryer, the home heater in the form of a radiator or wind fruit. The device is installed in the middle of the cellar for uniform air heating and continuously functions for a long time.
To maintain a comfortable microclimate and eliminate the condensate in the cellar using a tank or box, which is embarrassed by hygroscopic material (large salt or lime). Substances adjust the moisture by absorbing excess and disinfect the cellar.

Communications - a way to eliminate the formation of dew

Thinking on how to remove the condensate, pay due attention to the arrangement of communication systems - ventilation, work on maintaining the normal temperature level and waterproofing.

Ventilation equipment

Even one who has never been engaged in construction will be able to make the ventilation design. The high-quality system will relieve the annual trouble with warming up and drying the room before booking a new crop. The ventilation of the cellar happens 2 types - natural and forced.

Organization of natural ventilation

Ventilation channels are laid during the construction of the cellar. If your basement was initially not provided for this type of communications - make it yourself:

1. The perforator is done by holes in the ceiling of the cellar to install the pipes on the opposite sides of the wall.
2. The hood is lowered into the hole and fixed at an altitude of 100-150 mm from the solid. The height of the product above the roof should be about 1.5 m.
3. The supply tube is installed in the second hole and is fixed low to the floor. Its height above the roof should be about 200-250 mm.
4. The dampers are mounted on the pipes that help control the intensity of circulation of air flows, temperature and humidity.
5. The locations of the joints with the roof and the installation holes are thoroughly sealed with concrete solution or mounting foam.

You can check the craving by applying a paper sheet to the supply tube, it must vibrate under air flows.

Forced ventilation

To eliminate the wet environment, you can equip forced ventilation. For her, as for natural, you need to install 2 pipes. The difference is that in the compulsory embodiment there are fans in pipes for better air circulation.
Forced ventilation is equipped with mechanical and automatic way. The automatic system itself includes and turns off the fans to the specified intervals, so consumes a lot of electricity. The process of mechanical ventilation controls the user.

Waterproofing for cellar

If water droplets flow from the ceiling and walls, and the floor is wet and slippery, problems with waterproofing are possible. Ruberoid sheets or special impregnations for concrete are used as waterproofing materials.
Before making waterproofing the basement floor, do well and dry the room. Perform work in the warm season, following a certain order:

1. Remove the top layer of the soil with a height of 10-15 cm, the remaining is well sinking.
2. A layer of clay is falling apart on top of the rammed land and compacted.
3. At the clay, pour a layer of sand and gravel 10 cm.
4. Fill the concrete coating - it will not pass moisture contained in the ground.
5. On the well-dried concrete floor of the vents Sleep rubberoid. It must be put on the walls, by observing the height of about 20 cm.
6. Seams between the strips of the material seserve the gas burner.
7. Place an extruded polystyolster with a height of 30 mm on the runneroid.
8. Top reinforcing reinforcing grid.
9. Fill a concrete tie.

Waterproofing work can be carried out both at the construction stage and during the operation of the basement.

Heat basement

The fight against condensate can be crowned with success after the insulation of the basement. There are several popular materials for the organization of thermal insulation systems.

Using foamflast

How to deal with condensate, which settles on the ceiling because of the temperature difference indoors and outside? To do this, stick a foam insulation on the ceiling:

1. Purchase a special adhesive composition for foam materials.
2. Process the surface of the foam glue by applying it using a comb spatula.
3. Tightly press the sheet with the applied to the ceiling.
4. To ensure additional stability, foamed material secure dowels in the corners.
5. After gluing foam sheets, reinforce the ceiling using a mounting grid.
6. Mesh material is attached to a similar adhesive composition.

If, after the ceiling insulation, the condensate remains in the cellar, it is recommended to carry out thermal insulation of walls and floor.

Insulation polyurethane

Polyurethane is an effective way to protect the room from condensate. The material is superimposed under pressure as a solid coating on the ceiling that delays well inside the room. In view of the lack of seams, a tightness is created and excessive moisture completely disappears. The advantage of polyurethane thermal insulation is that after applying the surface is amenable to coloring and plastering. The minus technology is the impossibility of independent work - to create high pressure requires a special equipment.
Before insulation of the cellar in any material, be sure to treat the surface with antifungal and anti-flap tools so that they do not destroy the wall under the coating.

High UGN: get rid of the problem

With a high level of groundwater, the walls of the whole building, and not only the basement become wet. When there is no need for outdoor activities, the elimination of moisture is carried out by a drainage method. The foundation is pledged in stages:

1. On the perimeter of the construction, the trench of the deepening of the base is discouraged. In wetlands or inclined channel reliefs increase by 50 cm.
2. The drainage system is equipped - laying pipes and their subsequent diversion to a waste pit with a plastic tank.
3. Strengthening the foundation (if necessary).
4. The outer waterproofing of the foundation is performed by the cooler bitumen (cement) or by laying the runneroid or PVC membrane.
5. The trench falling asleep with a seamless layer.
6. On the perimeter of the building there is a scene.
7. The drying is carried out.

The option presented above requires significant financial and temporary investments. However, such waterproofing guarantees the maximum elimination of condensate. Experts recommend combining several techniques - use the cooler with pasting and drying the horn cellar.
With the right to hold all the above-described events in the basement, even a droplet of condensate should not be formed, and vegetables and fruits will be stored under appropriate conditions until the next harvest.
