How to deal with moisture in the basement?

Question 1: How to dehumidify the basement if it is very humid? First of all, the basement is not a place for people to live, so the waterproofing and thermal insulation are not very good during construction. If you are renting in a basement: I suggest you buy an electric heater and an electric fan, and increase ventilation when raising the indoor temperature. This can remove indoor moisture. However, it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. It is okay for a short period of time, but if you live in It won't be useful for a long time. If you buy a basement and it is your own home, just convert the basement into a place where people can live. Insulate all the walls in the room with 50mm thick benzene boards, use 20mm thick benzene boards on the walls, and use 20mm thick benzene boards on the windows. Use polypropylene cloth to waterproof the doorways and cold places, and there will be no problem.

Question 2: What should I do if people living in the basement are damp? Open the door frequently for ventilation. If possible, you can buy some charcoal and put it in the room. Or you can put some "indoor desiccant" sold in supermarkets in the room.

1. Use air conditioning to dehumidify. Most air conditioners now have this function. Activating the dehumidification function of the air conditioner can effectively solve the problem of room humidity during rainy periods, and can also provide comprehensive protection for TVs, computers and other "moisture-sensitive" home appliances.

2 When you are not using your computer or TV, it is best to make a protective cover to prevent the back of the appliance from contacting humid air. You can turn on more of these electrical appliances. The heat generated when the machine is running can effectively dissipate moisture. If the computer cannot light up due to moisture, you can turn it on and power it on. Generally, the monitor can display again in about 10 minutes.

3. If the outside air is too humid, remember to close the doors and windows; if the inside of the house is too humid, ensure that the room is well ventilated and use air conditioners and fans to dehumidify.

4. If the walls are covered with "sweat", it is recommended to purchase a dehumidifier for dehumidification.

5. In areas that are humid for a long time, you can use built-in charcoal in the room or spread bamboo charcoal under the floor of the Japanese style room. It has a good effect on balancing the room humidity, preventing dust, and purifying the air.

6. Do not keep anything indoors (flowers, birds, fish, insects, various pets...) especially fish and various plants (including cacti).

7. Put some quicklime (mixed with some sand) in a relatively humid dead corner.

Question 3: How to prevent moisture return in the basement? Does anyone know? It is relatively good to deal with moisture-proofing in basements. I know a friend who does basement moisture-proofing projects in Tongji Microcrystal. Anyway, as long as the moisture-proofing projects they have done are successful, the phenomenon of moisture return can be completely eliminated.

Question 4: How to deal with moisture-proofing in the basement 1. "Moisture" is caused by two aspects. 1. It is the "moisture" that penetrates into the room from the outside, which actually means water leakage; 2. It is caused by air condensation. "Tide" appears as uniform water droplets even in places where leakage is impossible.

2. The "tide" that penetrates into the room from the outside is caused by groundwater and surface water that seeps into the soil from rainwater. Except for the northwest loess and desert arid areas, basements may leak. In severe cases, it will show signs of leakage. Due to water leakage, there is also slight localized dampness. However, this phenomenon appears to be local or regional, and waterproofing and leakage plugging can be carried out indoors in a targeted manner.

3. The "tide" caused by air condensation is mainly caused by environmental conditions, related to air humidity, temperature difference, wind speed, air pressure, etc. It is common in the south, especially during the rainy season. This "moisture" can be solved by measures to prevent changing environmental conditions or mechanical dehumidification and ventilation.

If water leakage is ruled out, moisture return is a condensation phenomenon. I guess what you mean by moisture resistance is condensation.

1. Improve the temperature difference: increase the ground temperature (underfloor heating), or lower the air temperature (cold air conditioner dehumidification);

2. Reduce air humidity: close doors and windows in foggy weather , open the doors and windows (if you have windows) when the sun is hot at noon. Or close the doors and windows and use a dehumidifier; do not mop the floor with a wet mop. 3. Ventilation: Ventilation can take away moisture. Be careful not to ventilate on cloudy days, rainy days, or after heavy rains in summer, as it will bring a lot of moisture into the room.

Question 6: How to deal with severe moisture in a newly built basement? If the ground is dry and there are water droplets on the ceiling, it should be because the ceiling has poor waterproofing performance and ground moisture penetrates into the basement. There is an exception: the basement is humid and the temperature is high, and the outdoor temperature is much lower than the basement. At this time, condensation will occur on the top. Condensation is characterized by an even distribution of water droplets over the entire top. Water leakage is usually a local phenomenon, or water droplets first appear from a certain part.

Question 7: How to deal with moisture in the basement? Basement moisture-proof method

First of all, the basic method of moisture-proofing the basement floor is to add a waterproof layer to the basement floor structure. For more complicated cases, protective measures such as insulation layer, isolation layer, cement self-leveling, etc. need to be added above the waterproof layer. Simple basement moisture-proofing only requires covering the surface with waterproofing membranes or directly spraying moisture-proof liquid to achieve the purpose of moisture-proofing the basement.

Let’s talk about the method of moisture-proofing the wall. In fact, it is based on the same principle as the moisture-proofing of the ground, which is to prevent the invasion of moisture. A moisture-proof layer, an adhesive layer, and an insulation composite board are added to the wall coating structure. Class accessory moisture-proof layer. Of course, the moisture-proof liquid used for moisture-proofing the floor can also be used on walls.

For daily care, basement moisture-proofing is carried out with the original intention of reducing the moisture content in the basement. The first is to prevent moisture from infiltrating from the outside; the second is to prevent air from condensing and becoming damp. The first point can be achieved by waterproofing the basement; the second point can be achieved by closing the doors and windows tightly in humid weather, opening the doors and windows for ventilation in sunny weather, and dehumidifying with air conditioning.

Question 8: How to deal with moisture in the basement of the villa? When it comes to basement decoration, moisture protection bears the brunt. Without good moisture-proof facilities, the entertainment and storage functions of the basement will be greatly reduced. No matter from the perspective of making full use of space, or from the perspective of caring for the health of your family and feng shui livability, moisture prevention is the first issue to consider when decorating a basement. Say goodbye to coldness and dampness and make people feel comfortable in it, so as to improve the utilization rate of the basement.

Water comes in two forms

Liquid water: This is the source of moisture in your basement. It exists in the outdoor soil and penetrates all-pervasively. It penetrates into the room along the fine cracks and pores of the basement structure.

Gaseous water: It exists in the basement space in the form of water vapor, and condenses into water droplets on the surface of low-temperature objects. (Solution: dehumidifier) ​​

No matter what form moisture exists in, it will cause great harm to the structure, corroding steel bars, causing the decorative surface to fall off, producing mildew, whitewash, and emitting difficult emissions. Smell, etc.

Moisture will cause valuable clothing to become alkaline and turn yellow;

As a storage room for valuables, moisture will corrode items and accelerate their aging.

Staying and living for a long time is very harmful to the human body; and the moisture will directly

damage various electronic equipment, causing huge losses.

During the decoration process, decorative surface materials such as solid wood floors, composite floors, carpets, and wallpapers are

ruthlessly abandoned, and can only be replaced by those cold stones and ceramic tiles.

Not all basements have liquid water. There are only two sources of liquid water in the basement:

1. Broken indoor pipelines 2. Basement External water infiltration

1. Leakage blocking 2. Membrane waterproofing 3. Waterproofing membrane 4. Waterproof coating

Treating the symptoms of the leakage but not the root cause;

Waterproofing membranes, waterproof membranes, and waterproof coatings are all positive-pressure waterproofing and cannot resist the hydrostatic pressure exerted by the outside

and can easily fall off.

Question 9: What should I do if the basement is damp and smelly? There are generally only a few ways to remove moisture. It is recommended that you buy bags of quicklime and pack the quicklime into open containers to absorb moisture and remove moisture. You can also put some bamboo charcoal or activated carbon. Carbon molecules have super adsorption properties and can effectively remove odors, toxic gases, moisture, etc. in the room. They are rare experts in green and environmentally friendly air management.

Question 10: What should I do if I live in a damp basement? Always open the door for ventilation. If possible, you can buy some charcoal and put it in the room.
