Discussing the types of foundations, you cannot lose sight of such a type as a slab foundation. It captures completely the entire area of the future structure. Both monolithic and lattice are made. The latter is created using the cross -drawing of pre -made beams of reinforced concrete.
Often used on soils, which are characterized by increased or uneven compressibility, they are also installed where landfills were previously located or in places where increased seismic activity. Such a foundation is considered suitable for a limited number of buildings: bath, garage, extension.
Pile foundations consist of different piles blocked by concrete slabs. They are rarely done, since their construction is highly difficult, with huge labor and temporary costs. The piles themselves make both from individual materials and from their combinations. The use of specialized equipment, which is quite rare and expensive, is also quite unprofitable.
In order to save on the construction process, the foundations on sand pillows are used when the bottom of the pit is covered with a ball of sand. Such foundations should not be used for wet soil, since water can be blurred by sand. This will lead to the loss of the foundation of its initial characteristics.
One of the most time -consuming stages of repair is the repair of the bathroom. It is necessary to start with the dismantling of old tiles, pipes and plumbing. The best option is to install filters and locking valves on pipes with cold and hot water, a dryer on a towel, and also separately bring cold water to the toilet and washing machine. Water pipes, as well as sewer and drainage, it is desirable to put in the walls. After that, the turn of the walls will come, they need to be leveled so that the facing tiles lay down exactly. In order to bring electricity you need to invite an electrician.
After you can start facing. The next stage is the repair of the ceiling and the installation of plumbing. After that, mixers are mounted, and furniture is installed. If the overhaul of the bathroom is not included in your plans, you can simply replace the plumbing, paint the surfaces and update facing tiles. You can improve its appearance if you update and wipe all the joints. The old grout should be removed with a spatula, and then, treat the cracks with a aqueous solution of copper sulfate and apply a new grout between the tiles. You can use water -repellent grouts that are resistant to mold and retain a fresh look for a long time. In order not to completely change the bath, you can use a plastic insert with an acrylic coating. It is attached inside the bath, it almost does not reduce the volume, but it guarantees a new appearance for a long time. This method is also good because in the bathroom it will not need to be dismantled and tile to change.
