How to make a drainage of a summer residence with your own hands?

In this case, it is necessary to protect the site from constant water, in addition, drainage will be necessary for all landings in the country, for example, for flowers. It is possible to make drainage by means of dehumidification.

For example, in your territory you can buildsimple drainage trenches, which can be reduced to a collector. From it, water will flow outside the suburban area. Alternatively, the water can be taken to the pool, which can also be created in the suburban area.

Self-draining device

When creating a drainage system, it is necessarytake into account the peculiarities of the site's relief, as well as its layout, because it is entirely possible that it would be best to divert the water to a street ditch. If such a scheme does not suit you, or it will not be possible for the construction, then the water will have to be taken out into the pool.

The bottom of this pool will need to fall asleepsoft clay, a layer of not more than thirty centimeters. Further it needs to be carefully compacted. Also, the clay should be placed in the space between the walls of the resulting excavation and the walls of the pool itself, which must be made of concrete, bricks, wood. The walls of the pool should be located at a distance of twenty centimeters from the walls of the pit.

Depending on the material usedto create walls, they can be plastered (if they are made of bricks), or grind (if they are made of wood). Above, the pool can be left open, or you can close it - it depends on your preferences. If the pool is covered, do not forget to leave a special hatch for water intake.

Next, proceed to create a drainagetrenches. It must be laid out with a soft clay, like a pool, with the same layer. Then you can lay drainage pipes, which then need to be covered with large gravel with soil. In the future, such a trench can be covered with soil, plant grass, or leave it unopened, which is not recommended.

As an option - a trench above the pavement. If you absolutely do not want to lay pipes, you can do without them. Then the clay bottom of the created trench will have to be smoothed in the form of a tray, put large stones in it as a curb, then cover the resulting construction with stones from above, thus creating a vault.

Such a trench must be closed. For this, you can take a large rubble and soil, which was originally in the trench. If your site is too waterlogged, use local drainage systems with pumps with a regulation mode that is automatic and metal tanks.

Another important detail: work on draining the site should be carried out in conjunction with the work on the organization of the relief of the garden plot. Also, it is strongly advised to refer to the experience of people who have already encountered a similar situation before starting the drainage work.

Remember that in any case, every holiday siteis individual and has its own relief system, and therefore it is by no means impossible to follow the rules blindly. Also of invaluable help will be numerous schemes and drawings with drainage systems, which users post on the Internet, sharing their own experience. On their basis, you will be able to create your own unique system of drainage of the suburban area, and in the future - to improve it.
