Why do rural self-built houses like to lay foundations? Are you under pressure?

The main purpose is waterproof and moisture-proof, increase the stability of the house, feng shui lighting. Great changes have taken place in rural areas of China in the past 40 years of reform and opening up. One of the most obvious changes is that farmers have built high walls, courtyards and big bright houses. At present, with the development of rural economy, farmers' income is getting higher and higher. It can be said that more and more buildings will be built in rural areas in the future, and building houses is also a major event for farmers.

Rural land is different from urban land, and cities are usually soft. Although farmers will tamp the foundation to increase the stability of the foundation and prevent the soil from sinking, it is difficult to prevent moisture, especially in summer and rainy season, and mold will be strong in the house. So one of the main reasons for improving the foundation is waterproof and moistureproof. Generally speaking, the foundation of a house is higher than the ground outside the homestead, which can prevent rainwater from flowing back, especially in low-lying areas.

Many people think that raising the foundation will affect the stability of the house. Actually, this is not right. At present, the foundations of most houses are made of reinforced concrete. For the stability of the house, some people will raise the foundation to make it stronger. If the reinforced foundation is filled again, the stability and seismic capacity of the house will be improved, and the shelf life of the self-built house will be longer, indicating that the foundation is good.

Some people build houses because of geomantic omen. Although superstitious, many people still hope to have a good prospect. In addition, a high base means a high threshold. Such a house will have twice the face when entertaining relatives and friends. The key is to get more sunshine. From an aesthetic point of view, some houses with high foundations are really better than those with small buildings.
