Which method should be adopted for the protection of dampness in floor?

 
Untitled Page
The following method should be adopted for the protection of dampness in floor:
1. Dry area having low water level:
  • In this case 75 mm thick layer of course sand laid on the bed of rammed earth with 100 mm thick layer of lean concrete (1:3:6 or 1:4:8 mix )is thereafter laid over the base course. The forms the base of the floor topping which may be of any type.
  • 2. Area having high water level:
  • In this case both the walls as well as the ground are liable to get damp due to capillary rise of moisture from ground.
  • In such situation, it is necessary to provide damp proof of flexible material like bitumen felt over the entire area of the ground including wall thickness .
  • This felt is also laid on vertical faces of the wall.
  • The horizontal & vertical surfaces should be finished smooth. This should be protected from the damages.
