Basement waterproofing and basement conversions and

INTRODUCTION

This guide is an aid for private owners to assess the council conflict, which are often present when using different ask "experts" within the industry on how best to solve a problem of waterproofing the basement.

Humidity Chamber

PART 1: - the variety of uses and BASEMENT STRUCTURES.

Quite simply, a basement waterproofing perspective fall into three categories: -

A. Non-waterproof concrete

B. Integral waterproofStructures

C. drained cavity structures

Their questions are often classified into four grades: -

Low order 1 (garage, etc., where the water on the floor played no role, that much)

2 Storage class (which has very dry environment, but not living standard is not as important as ventilation, etc., and some moisture may still be tolerated)

Grade 3 room (walls and floors must be dry and humidity controlled to within) Live

4 Special needs (where total control over temperature and humidity is necessary for the preservation of the archives, fine wines, computer installations, sensitive, valuable works of art, etc..)

Category 4 is not usually necessary for normal home use and will be ignored here-on-in.

Expressed as simple as that, the cellar or A, B or C and you want to use it to 1.2 or 3

What could be easier than ABC 123?

A bit 'processing is based on the ABC I needthinking ...

Type A, which are not waterproof masonry brick block work, stone. The floors and walls mineral most often the individual elements of the structure, ie they are not connected with steel reinforcement, and then can move to each other in a different way. This is a crucial point in the choice of a waterproofing system, as a rigid structure, systems need to work effectively for this.

Most of the older houses are within the domestic type STYLECATEGORY.

Type B, which (presumably) fully sealed structure. These are usually constructed of reinforced concrete, which are linked with reinforced walls and floor and the entire structure was designed appropriately thick and strong and water resistant without the need for sealant. Unfortunately, engineers or architects, designs and theoretical calculations do not always translate perfectly in place and a small deviation in a bar in water (the plasticCan strip, sealing the joints of the structure) is a little 'just compacted concrete pour on the bottom one, maybe a little' too much water causes shrinkage cracks in the mix all lead to loss, in which there should be no !

Many modern structures BASEMENT fall into the category of type B - we will have failed only with the "Type B is concerned that the success, of course, not seals!

C. Type of engineering works Many are built with deep cellarsThe size of the cavity drained. The next time you find yourself in a basement parking lot of a large shopping mall, maybe two or history and look down in a beautiful landscaped DRY concrete block wall, you may ask, why it is so dry, so deep under the Earth - and maybe not - but if your basement is flooded to a house plan you may be wondering how to achieve this.

Quite simply, the block work wall, are separated by a gap between it and the land, retaining wallsbeyond. The earth retaining wall is often very wet, perhaps even running water to enter, but the inner wall is kept dry by the "dry cavity 'between. The water must be drained from the cavity somewhere, and it is usually in a room in the cockpit, where you can download download.

While released on a property inside a hollow wall or concrete wall to be built rarely a cavity "in miniature" drainage is often hampered by use of a diaphragm, which createsEarth retaining wall, creating a cavity between the retaining wall and the membrane itself. Thus, a type A brick can often lead to a structure of type C, which are converted by applying the membrane.

But this brings us to the estate .....

PART 2 sealing mode.

Towards the end of the last section that describes how the "structure" and "seal" in a situation cavity was drained completely connected. If the structure has a dryCavity and then drained the cavity is a part of the structure, but it is also an integral part of the estate. The same applies to a type of tank, a structure in which the structure is as important as the waterproofing as the former have to keep them in place. This is crucial to understand is the failure to appreciate how to work the structure and seal each other and depend on a common cause for the failure of waterproofing systems.

Sealing of Type AStructure

There are basically two different approaches: -

1 The application of a 'Tanking System' This will result in a coating of some kind, the walls and the floor of an inside-out "tank", a tank where the water to create on the outside.

2 Convert the structure to structure 'Drained Cavity' a type C through the installation of a drained cavity membrane with drainage systems and sump and pump.

There are divisions within these generic methods, but basically it isor try to "hold water", or you are 'on the discharge.

Let's take a closer look at each method.

1 Tank

To paint anything from bitumen, asphalt (a mixture of sand and tar) sand / cement plaster and screed with waterproof coatings, additives and special manure may have been used.

The big disadvantage of this method is that you are fighting the water pressure (at least potentially, not all of the basement under the water pressure all the time, butYou should assume that all the basement could be subjected to water pressure at some point in the future).

This method is totally dependent on the quality of the structure which it is applied.

Failure to appreciate this attention has led to many failures, unnecessary costs, pain and tears.

Most of the structures of type A are subject to differential movements - that the walls and the floor may move in a different way to each other and form a small crack in the wall, floor profiles, and the walls andEarth may turn slightly inward, but enough to break the system tank.

In contrast to the differential movement, but equally important is the "unifying influence of the substrate," especially the tensile strength.

Now I do not want to leave too technical here, so what I say in simple words to explain myself.

Imagine a waterproof fit inside a wall. The water on the outside of the wall tends to "push" on the back of the coat, as if to prove,push it out. I say "as if", because obviously "trying", not the water, everything, to do what he does not have a mind of its own, it's just a reaction to gravity and obey the laws of physics.

So if you have the picture now, I imagine that the waterproof coating was perfectly well that the link between the bricks and the coating is applied heavily. The tile is a "force that covers the face of experience as a tile is pushed away from the wall.

And, yes, does not needto see a lot of imagination, what happens next, the side of the stone breaks away from the stones of waterproof coating to resist not stretch very well (the technical term is that they have a low tensile strength).

The problem does not occur in a pool, though. Here the water pressure on the opposite side, and tends to push the waterproof coating on the wall, the wall behind it compresses. Now masonry is good in compression, the system does not. Fail

Another serious problem is the accumulation of salts behind the water tank.

Many people will deal with this phenomenon every day.

When the water evaporates, leaving behind small traces of substances that have been dissolved in it. We see this element of a kettle. The same thing happens when water evaporates in the wall of a cellar or basement. Salt crystals can often be seen on the surface of the wall (often mistaken for mold), these crystals sometimes form behind paintingand press the color bubbles appeared in, back to reveal the crystals of salt.

Supply as many systems are "breathable" makes it sold. They should stop liquid water passes through, but allow the walls to "breathe", that allow evaporation to take place and the escape of water vapor.

Sun ..... when the water is evaporated, then leave behind a layer of salt crystal growth, the crucial question, in a system bound, where exactly is the spaceFor these crystals? "

The simple answer is that there is, as the crystals of salt they make their own space for rendering or other coating of the wall, and we have another tank to grow failure.

Well, this is the point where I can be accused of prejudice against the systems of the tank, but I'm not! I am against systems that fail, that's for sure, compared to systems that are applied to substrates partially inappropriate.

It must be said. "Application of a tank BONDEDSYSTEM OF STYLE wall of an old error is ask. "

And the vast majority of projects are in the basement waterproofing masonry old-fashioned.

D. Because supply seems to work a lot of time?

A. because there is A LOT OF TIME PRESSURE WATER. As soon as the water pressure, ie a broken water main, unusually heavy rains, land reclamation changes due to construction work, etc. will "fail" the tank.

I lost count of the numberhow many times people have told me that the supply has worked for years and then randomly the day that the water pressure failed. - "The day we were leaving the hose on" or "Day of the rupture of the pipe in the ground."

Systems to charge so, in conclusion, are bound to be used only if it is foreseeable that there will never be any pressure water or if the structure is rigid and second place in an appropriate manner to the substrate has a high tensile strength for sealingPlace through the structure, without de-lamination or cracking. These circumstances are relatively rare and represent where tanks could be used, should not be used.

CONVERTING 2 the structure of a C DRAINED CAVITY TYPE '

And 'expressly provided in the British Standard BS8102 "Protection of structures against water under the earth", this method is reliable and trouble-free sealing is detected in the basement.

Many specialized companies (that need to fill in "until used specialistsChanges to this method in recent years and appears to be a one-way street. I've never seen a specialist contact cavities drained to "supply" heard.

In its simplest form this consists in the definition of a plastic membrane (usually but not always) on the walls and floor with dimples. The idea of ​​the dimples is to create a flow of "space" for water - usually 8 mm to 20 mm for the walls and floor.

These membranes are not "tied" to the wall, but with mechanical fastenersPlastic caps and spacing, so that in-between the membrane-bound UN.

Now, in reality, when the water runs down the wall is usually not in a movie immensely thin, 8mm thick, when the amount of water was still coming down to the inner surface of the wall without oil pan and pump, which would always be to deal with it and the wall material will probably not last long, so that the need for the dimple 8mm waterproofing the basement is a myth!

One of the disadvantages of plastic membranes that preventThe water vapor to move through them, but not heat, so you can create a collection of water vapor on a cold surface - a recipe for condensation. I've seen caused by these puddles on the floor.

Membrane integrated with a thermal insulation that keeps the vapor barrier keeps warm and some basic information on the response of heat, possibly with a dehumidifier.

Ventilation, while the need to remove the stale air and fresh oxygen is not the answer to condensation, as they canbring more humid air from the outside. If the heat and dehumidify the air basement - you do not want to keep the vent away!

A cavity drainage system depends entirely on the oil sump and pump, which eventually drained the water from underground. This is an area that is not on, as nothing more work needs to be saved without them. There would always be advisable to use a frying pan and oil pump on order, which is a pre-film format, and include the pump alarm. Coatings are often coverperforated to allow water to directly from the soil beneath the slab. This "draining" of the earth under the floor, often stops the walls and floor, reducing the losses at all and so the importance of the role of the diaphragm wall and floor. In fact, in many cases the "Cavity Drain membrane 'is nothing but a vapor barrier as a channel for water flow. Need even less dimples then more emphasis on the insulating properties of the membrane (the membrane to avoida non-condensed).

The sump pump easier for a single network. Battery backup pumps are available and should be seriously considered habitable for the degree as the consequences of failure can be very large, with carpets, furniture, drywall, carpentry endangers everyone.

Battery-run pumps typically 12V DC directly from the battery, but others run off AC (how you get from the network), which converts DC (battery) power from a DC-ACConverter. The date of conversion is not efficient and much larger batteries are needed to give the same output, if you use a converter.

Drum pumps are a bit 'limited compared to the pump power, tend to be less powerful in an office complex and depends on n limited battery life. So it may be considered useful to have a second pump power, as the primary backup (for protection against any other cause of a power failure to act - and then aThird pump, the pump takes over the battery during a power outage.

In any case, must be evaluated carefully selecting a good quality casing and pump system, which are given for the project. For larger wineries and a sump pump may be required.

While the water can run down a wall of light - how gravity works in this way - it is not so easy for the water horizontally above the earth. So the idea of ​​a "dimpled membrane at the bottom," that watermeanders somewhat below and find the oil pan is quite obsolete. The modern way is a floor system perimeter of the duct so that water is directly under the floor directly in the oil pan.

Once the membranes are present, an inner surface of plasterboard on wooden slats or metal stud is usually used to support the walls and of which a coating of cardboard on the ground floor or diaphragm.

There is a decent ground as a heat treatment Tile Floor Cleaning are knowncombines the waterproofing to the floor in the form of a tooth made of plastic tiles that do not require additional support.

"Other methods"

In effect, what we have discussed, refers to about 95% of the existing winery.

However, there are some "other" things that are worth a brief mention, because it must be relatively rare, but if they are relevant: -

1 A variant of the substrate channeling is an "above the lower channel,as a cable attached to the baseboard floor. This is for structured soils, which can not be driven to a floor heating duct to accept help.

Injection of resin 2. They are drilling and injecting the common structure with water-reactive, dealing with incoming water in a chemical reaction and turn the mixture of resin and water in a waterproof material deep into the "flight-path", thus preventing further losses. This method is relevant only on a soundClack with defined structures or joint lock, such as cracked concrete wall support, not for general porous surfaces like brick o.

3 "drainage system" E 'can often stop a basement from flooding and achieve a grade 1 or 2 of the environment through a perforated liner and sump pump to the floor and led by himself - without a membrane to the wall or floor so that the system is not a "drained cavity system as such, but a" de-watered system. "

Combination 4System. Sometimes the best approach is to use a combination of systems, rather than just one. Grouting resin may be used for high flows of water through a tank or a downloaded cavity followed by stem cells. A de-irrigation system for extra waterproofing on the walls or floor can sometimes be significant. With floor drain divides the outer walls and the floor, so that different systems can be used together, either membrane or other types of generic systems such as membranewaterproof concrete wall and the floor. This is useful when you paste ceramic tile and necessary as the final coating.

If you are considering a combination system, you should really genuine with an expert, to speak, to determine what will work and what does not - can not count on friends or the local builder general, if not the basement waterproofing experts!

And one last point: if the "cheapest" way, want to learn how to waterproof your basement, then say,You ...

Do it first!

I so people can know and do, then a dry layer of bitumen £ 500.00 to £ 3000 'manure tank "of a system of cavities € 5.000,00.

They thought that £ 500 was the cheapest, but in the end pay £ 8,500.00.

If not work, then it is not the cheapest.

€ 5000.00 less than £ 8,500.00!

And what is the basement waterproofing do it yourself?

Now, with various professionalsSystems with full on-site support is a totally professional job can get covered by the warranty with full service, after-sales service and most of the work yourself and save € '000 's!!

So happy and seal hope this guide useful!

London Builders - How to choose a natural stone - Part One

Was the natural stone as a material for interior spaces now used for a long time. It 'used to tile the walls and tile floors, columns, walls, countertops, fireplaces, interior design elements. However, a long period of service of all these items, you must make a proper choice of stone and materials for the equipment. This means that taking into account the operating conditions of the materials for the exterior and interior uses are increasing.

It 'pretty easy to doit, you just have to know the intrinsic characteristics of the type of stone you like and the problems they may encounter in the process of their use. These problems were not over the years so many centuries ago it was only natural stone exposed to mechanical treatment and now there are many means of its protection developed, adding to a service longer and more comfortable.

Humidity Chamber

But to demand restoration of home renovation or apartment select a suitable stone for theDecoration and contribute to knowledge of some useful advice would be to avoid even holes in the future.

Decorating the hallways.

Since it is the room that we can see immediately when you enter the house, we will start from it. In this small but important stone chamber is typically used for finishing walls and floors. Walls are usually not exposed too aggressive influence of moisture, dirt, chemicals, or cleaning are, therefore, any type of stone to complete in order here. Onvertical surfaces of both the pictorial elements with coarse chips, such as limestone, tile and smooth to make a good impression. Marble and granite is particularly effective.

There are fewer opportunities for the earth: It is unreasonable to use a porous rock structure - will not last long and will also need plenty of time to care. Granite is the undisputed leader among the materials for the base plate. It 'pretty strong and abrasion resistant full range of color of this stoneallows not only the combination with the decisions of a designer, but just do an accent on the floor.

Stone textures.

Particular attention should be given to the stone structure, since the regularity of care and the complexity of much of the surface: if it is smooth and shiny and strong. Smooth surface is easier to clean, but in time I feel worn out areas in the areas of highest use. It 'a little' harder to clean robust, since the dustthe road and get mud in smaller cavities.

Natural Stone Care and Maintenance fluids can simplify cleaning: liquid cup of protection that is applied regularly on the card significantly reduces the time for cleaning and guarantees a perfect result. By the way, can be applied to the liquid coating.

If you want smooth tiles (well-polished black granite walls and ceiling of the room lit up like a mirror reflects, so that the size of the apartment more) areThe anti-slip tapes. They are easy to use, completely invisible and provide a good result. Remember to renew protective film from time to time.

Bathroom.

Decorating the bathroom, in general, deserves special attention, because the object is made of natural stone decorations. Tiles in the bathroom, constantly exposed to the influence of water and water vapor builds up over time, calcium deposits on their surface and can appear in the form of very high humidity. Surely there is aWay: in the first case to put the filters for water purification and softening, and in the second - to ensure adequate ventilation. However, to provide a long natural stone, you must select the correct type.

CONTROL: Who will be closely monitored?

I was exactly what I wanted to share with you today, without words. I had a plan, then one of my partners said to my self-esteem site. Well, in short, would, in my opinion can not rest for comment. It 'was a phrase of "CONTROL". Here it is:

Control "the life of another person:" If I trust my wife can not keep their sexual promise to myself, because I am in this relationship? I do not think I could ever want. "I choose to believe in the promise of showing the opposite. Positive Movespositive. "

Humidity Control

My first thought was, "WOW"! We really feel they have control of their partner?

How does she just wants to be with you, be a controlling factor?

What is your desire to be the only one to be a controlling factor?

As he did not want them to look or speak personally to someone else, a controlling factor?

How does that feel, how do you think the only thing on their minds will be a controlling factor?

How does the verificationphone has a log or logs your computer, a controller can be a factor?

The question is, what they're doing every minute, a controlling factor?

He's questioning his every move on, a controlling factor?

Going through his pockets for something, I think it breaches its obligation to you, a controlling factor could it?

When you delete messages, they can get on your computer, a control factor?

Ask their friends for a special evening, aControlling factor?

When tasting with a kiss, if it were a controlling factor?

Hmmmm, how many of these questions or doubts you have committed?

I really have to ask who that is controlled with these concerns jealous? You or them?

I believe that jealousy to control if you can say yes to half of these questions is that you control in a very, very destructive. I'm always trapped in a vicious circle. They are looking for,and the same research, which allow you to use any of these actions or thoughts are controlled.

And 'one of those "You're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don` t "situations. In order not to question and search, you are left to trust and have faith and believe in your relationship. Trust is hard to do if weak, you can control your thoughts. To become skeptical with the heart is a long lonely journey to nowhere. YouYour mind at rest and trust that you have chosen to give your heart. Yes, it is risky, but that's what love is. Trust, believe, do not control and, above all, a sense that special person is chosen as a life partner.

We will be involved at times when your partner with someone who could be a threat. This is when your partner know the line. Their ads will you stay in touch feel. You will know that this limit is onlyTheir relationship to complications. Another good point that was made by a member of my site was this:

"Many of us are sexually attracted to someone else at some point as our partner, but if we are on that attraction that defines our relationship to act."

E

"... I wonder if it makes sense, control my other friendships significant '," just in case "they develop a sexual attraction?"

This is when the line must be drawn from bothParties. "Means for human error." I know this sounds like an excuse, not for others. May in some cases and can not be in others. There are many situations in life that I can not generalize.

Even in this case "CONTROL" is the word that comes to mind here. The monitoring system described above, is in itself new, but in a positive way. We have chosen this moment of pleasure or interest in control, there are many words for this. The choice of control is really what counts in aReport.

The concern of "what if" is always to hover. And 'here that our commitment is real. And 'through faith and trust. It is not the sweet feel good "USA" in our lives? It is nice to hear that there are to control the negative thoughts and only allow positive thoughts determine our actions? Well, then take a positive, "CONTROL" on your thoughts.

You can direct your love. Let your love will show you the way to a lifetime of smiles and happiness. Oh, and huggz. You all knowThey are great on this. Huggz are a beautiful way to control these organisms. It can send messages to each other in the nicest way. So why I ask is that nothing can be done every second? And 'as someone said, "Okay, you can eat as many of your favorite foods you want and never gain a pound one." HA, as if we do not use all that are in this world of restaurants per meter of road, the full every day. Think people.

So, myQuestion for you is to think of the evening: "You know you want to be controlled by you or control you want, or I'm going with that thought and thought for a few more left ... HUGGZZZZZZZ plz?

If you control your thoughts,
(Your feelings come from
Thoughts), then you can control your emotions!

********************

You can `t control
what is outside,
but you can always check
what's inside!

CONTROL: Who will be closely monitored?

Steam autoclave

Pressurized steam is considered the most reliable method of sterilization. And 'only the elements of heat, humidity and pressure. This process can be 10 to 60 minutes. In the chamber, the steam can reach 121-148 degrees Celsius. The duration of the sterilization can be changed depending on the temperature and the article.

Microorganisms are killed by extreme heat of the autoclave. It 'also accelerated by the humidity inside the room. The steam is not reallyenough for sterilization, however, the pressure increases the temperature and destroy microorganisms. Each organism saturated steam at 120 ° C within 15 minutes will be killed. It can reduce the time needed to raise the temperature. Minimum temperature and time should be regularly monitored and maintained to ensure the effectiveness of sterilization.

Humidity Chamber

High Pressure sterilizer sterilization is used by many surgeons because surgical instruments are generally available for sterilizationMethod of steam autoclave. This method can not be used to sterilize heat-sensitive elements.

There are things to remember about using a steam autoclave. These steps help your sterilizer to operate efficiently.

1 Use distilled water to fill the tank.
2 Clean the filter regularly steam line.
3 Clean the walls of the room at least once a week.

If you clean the inside of the room, you have to do these steps.

1 Turn on the machine and let it cool.
2 Remove the rackand trays.
3 Wipe off the residue with a towel.
4 Brush the quoted room nylon brush to remove any residue.
5 Clean the inside of the door with wet towels.

For the phases of packaging you can follow these instructions.

1 Use the labels for hazardous waste.
2 Do not pack your bags crosses in an autoclave. Cookware in stainless steel or metal are the best choice.
3 If you are autoclaving liquids, fill only half or less in the container to prevent leakage. UseContainer made of heat resistant materials to prevent cracks only.
4 Place solid waste in autoclave bags. Do not forget to add a little water because the water turns into steam, and clear, the air inside the bag.

Crawl space vapor barrier Basics

For many homeowners, the first thought in my head when you consider installing a crawl space waterproofing system is: "I'm not going, why should I do?"

Good question! And it's a great response. Although you probably do not think about your crawl space, and you can not even see your crawl space is part of your home. What happens there has a surprising effect of the rest of the house.

Humidity Control

Water can enter the crawl space in three differentWays: through the soil (or concrete) around your home, from a loss of pipe or through the air vents in the crawl of your space. If this moisture or humidity for all-out occurs loss means a wet crawl space headaches for you. Moisture collects in the organic anything - including wood flooring, support beams, and some types of insulating crawl space. As the waves and warps the wood with moisture, there are bad results: mold, mildew, mold, bacteria and mites.

What you haveunder your house is no longer a void. It is a habitat. The area is full of mites, moisture, mold and dust. Too soon, mice, rats taking, snakes and worms of residence, living and dying in the dark, damp space under your house. And there's nothing more attractive to a colony of termites find a new place anything wet, rotten wood live!

Ignore the monster lurking below, while you can, but remember, they are also against the floor and rotting columnssignificantly damaged, have been involved in it. Warm air in the house leaves the house through the upper levels of the crawl space and the air is sucked into the house. As it moved, do not stop moisture, mold, dust mites, odors and waste is coming with him. In summer, the air conditioner is working overtime to remove moisture. During the winter months, cold air in the house banging on everything, what can be achieved, including the water heater ventilation, hot waterpipes, and heating ducts.

In a vented crawl space, insulation is a Catch-22. If you don't have crawl space insulation, then there's no line of defense keeping humid summer air and cold winter air away from your floorboards. If you do have crawl space insulation, then moisture and mold can saturate the material, weighing it down and causing it to collapse on to the floor. If it's wet or lying on the ground, what can it do for your home?

The first step to solving a crawl space moisture problem is to remove any standing water issues. Left in your home, it will add humidity to the home, encourage mold and mildew, and bring pests into the room while it stagnates. It simply has to go.

If your crawl space has pooling water at any time, a reliable cast-iron crawl space sump pump is the best option. Water can be directed to the sump pump via a drainage swale, or in some cases, a modern French drain system.

Humidity pours into your house through the crawl space Sources, and the damp earth and concrete around your house will absorb water like a sponge, releasing water vapor into the environment. Cut to the source of this problem by insulating the crawl space vents and all the installation of a vapor barrier crawlspace. Avoid cheap solutions, the type of product you should look strong and durable, at least 20 mils thick. A quality rip of the crawl space vapor barrier is access to you and service occupations, without the line to allow the defense. Crawl space vaporObstacles must be identified should be flexible and resistant to punctures and tears, and a bed of gravel to allow water to pass under.

How desirable to measure the humidity

In each house, it is important to have the right humidity during certain conditions, not only to feel comfortable, but also to stay healthy. But many of us, of course, to bring the issue of moisture and most of the time, you get a bad feeling in our homes, especially in extreme weather conditions. But there are several factors before we can decide what is the ideal humidity for our country.

The construction of the house plays an important role in knowledgeideal humidity. Houses built with a vapor barrier to keep more heat in the walls, which then lead to more moisture in the colder months. The baffles also help to prevent condensation in the walls. During the warmer months seem to homes without adequate ventilation results more water vapor through the walls, damaging them and causing mold on the walls.

Humidity Control

People are well suited to moisture, which varies from 20% -60%. But the ideal is, depends on theOutside temperature. When the outdoor temperature at 20 degrees Fahrenheit and above, the recommended relative humidity 35% -40%. When the outside temperature of 10 degrees, the humidity should be 30%. For 0, -10 and -20 degrees Celsius, the humidity should be 25%, 20% and 15%.

To control the humidity in your home, you can create a simple in this way. The first is three ice cubes in a glass of water. Stir a few times then wait threeMinutes. If the humidity is not formed outside the glass, this means that the air is too dry in your house, and you have a humidifier. Too much moisture on the contrary, it causes condensation on windows too much too often. It also causes deposits of mold and moisture on walls or ceilings. To ensure that you maintain the ideal humidity in the house and keep you and your home in good condition, remember to keep these tips in mind.

What kind of cage for a leopard gecko Will You Get?

Most of the people, a cage for a leopard gecko (more properly called Vivarium) decide to do something simple. Basic 20-liter plastic tanks do what they need and are not expensive, but if you want to go further, then there is no shortage of possibilities.

Vai fantasy

Humidity Chamber

If you see something that to be nice to look at your home is like, could be a tank, timber ready to be taken into consideration. Oak, beech and walnut are all present, and they all look much more sophisticatedas a plastic base. In fact, as something that I would not mind the look of your living room.

Go extra large

A tank of 20 liters is enough for one or even two Leo (provided that both are women), but there are some advantages to super-sizing your tank of choice. Probably the biggest advantage is that much more space to create a truly natural-looking - with plants, stones and other natural elements - and yet your leo with sufficient landPlace for them to run in

Some large tanks containing a wardrobe of them, to save a clean and convenient to basic necessities for your leo.

Add some 'natural style to hide boxes

A couple of hiding places are a must in every leopard gecko tank. Leos are nocturnal, so they do not hide in a dark place, that day becomes very stressed and unhappy. And most leopard gecko owners to use in this role? A Rubbermaid style plastic containeraccess hole with a breach of the page. Yes, this will work, but there is much more exciting options. Buy you can hide boxes, such as logs, small caves, tunnels and so on look, and are not expensive.

An example of Zoo Med "Repti Shelter 3 in 1 Cave". For about $ 15, you get a natural looking hide box, which can be used as a humidity chamber to help your warehouse leo, or as a spawning chamber for your wife pregnant. Not a bad deal!

Add plants

Most soluble fertilizers to fertilize the first full strength every two weeks. Just remember the water is to use half the power stuff for bonsai, this is a parable, is, as instructed. For tropical continue until new growth is evident to fertilize them.

Humidity Control

Minor points to consider, but the important ones forInternal growth is the movement of air, moisture and insect / disease control. In winter, you want to know for perhaps a minute too delicate fan that blows air through the system. The humidity is maintained seriously concerned about a moderate climate-stressed plants inside. For many of the inexperienced grower, fogging mantra is to show a method that you care, but many plants it does not matter. Misting plants a couple of times a day, in my opinion, a process without value. The only thing that is just how it happens thatThey build on the leaves salt as the water dries. If you fog the whole area around the plant for moisture, then you have some 'useful, but at home this usually is not possible.

Instead, create moisture filling the facility on a bed of pebbles in a large pan with the water low. Do not let water touch the pot really. The pot theme, so much the better, this could help keep the algae and other animals, because it is only on the entire volume of waterevaporate every day.

To control insects and diseases will essentially start when you do all the above, as an active healthy plant that will be in a position of having to resist. Turn the page and look at weaving or waste. A healthy leaf is completely clean, except for certain types of hair. Mites are easily visible with a magnifying glass and see the human eye. 2 spotted mites are smaller and can actually difficult to detect.

Mites, aphids, woolly aphids, scale insectsand almost all types of pests can be controlled if it is early and sprayed with insecticidal soap acceptable. These soaps can be toxic to some species and the leaf damage, so try a few leaves first to make sure. For cases terribly annoying, you may need to chemical pesticides. Follow the instructions carefully for good.

These tips will help you control pests that could ruin your bonsai plant.

What to look for in buying a food dehydrator

Everyone knows that a beautiful garden, as fresh produce can taste wonderful when you have an adult. And 'natural that you save some' of that wonderful food for other times of the year, even desired. As a general rule, the options are for preserving food for year round enjoyment canning, freezing and drying. On drying, most of the water is removed from the diet, so they last longer and much of the same nutritional value. This is usually achieved usingA dehydrator.

The choice of a good dehydrator, but not necessarily easy. There are hundreds of brands to choose from dozens of different configurations. While this article makes no attempt to compare and recommend brands, will help you learn what you look at the selection of dehydrators.

Humidity Chamber

Air food dehydrators the workflow of moving air, usually heated, passing food, dry. The moving air pulls moisture from the food. This is usually achieved byone of two ways. The first is with a fan. A fan, usually in combination with a heating element is used to push or pull air through the dryer body and the food is dried.

The second is convection. Here are just a heater used to heat the air in the dryer. Hot air rises and cooler air falls. This creates a natural airflow as the air around the heating element increases, while the air continues to cool off and begins to fall, returned to the heater workingwhere it is heated again. Assuming that the heating element is located in the center of the drying chamber, the air in the middle of the room increases as the air moves along the edges.

So, what's better? Convection air flow requires less power and is quieter, but it takes longer for the food, which can result in less flavor and a shorter duration to be dry. Some advocates point out, however, that do not require external air convection systems, which reduces the likelihood of contamination by dust or dirt,unit transferred from an external page. Fan-dryers are faster, and are quite clean, if managed in a clean environment, but will need to use more electricity and create at least one sound.

Positioning the circulation fan for fans dehydrators, is another important consideration, in which the ventilator. Most dehydrators position of the fan is at the bottom of the appliance or in the back or side. In a bottom-position the fan pushes air through the drying rack.Bottom-mounted fans to provide drying trays are stacked on top of the fan, creating a more flexible environment drying, and often work on a smaller footprint kitchen. However, because some people are closer or further away from the fan is drying are irregular and regular job rotation is required to achieve consistent results.

If the fan is mounted in the rear of the unit is allowed to air flow more uniform drying on all trays. However, this also means that the number ofTray drying is fixed. They may be less than the maximum, but never more.

Capacity As mentioned previously, some food dehydrator units flexible capacity with the ability to add, subtract or trays. This can be very useful for drying large amounts more or less, but it is important to remember that the higher the number of floors, the lower the efficiency of the system - and the need to rotate more experienced. Systems also often require stacking holes at the center of the tray so that the aircirculate better. While this is not necessarily a problem, may be less efficient drying larger items that do not fit the shells.

Fixed size dehydrators sacrifice flexibility for larger empty shells without air cumbersome. This may be particularly important for the skin of fruit or dried flowers or other long items that simply do not fit well in a round, donut-shaped shells. Rectangular trays without holes using space more efficiently and allow a greater amount of food fordried at once. And since the maximum capacity has already been set, these devices with the fans of optimal size and the flow of air to be better designed.

Options tray drying trays are designed to meet different needs. Trays usually have a grid or mesh design, so as to pass air through the compartments and on. The largest gaps in the network more efficient the air is moving, but also the limited size of the food can be dried. Many grasses, for example, can easily fall through itlarge gaps, but it is good fruit slices.

It can have many models of food dehydrators include different types of dishes with the main unit, to handle at least one subject, for what it is is drying possible. However, this does not mean it can not be able to dry more than one item at a time without buying decoders. Other models have a dimension of exchange, usually a larger mesh, and then sell the paper or solid network to use when drying smallLeather goods or fruit.

Most food dehydrators Extra is a recipe book so you know, come on how long certain items dry, though always as a function of humidity in your area, the density of the food, the dry, the consistency in slices, a lot of water in the element, and so on.

Some models have adjustable thermostat that can be important to come to the drying of various foods. Others may contain instructions and / or kit for the preparation of meatshots.

How to decide? Most choose to buy the right food dehydrator, up to you and your situation. If you are a new drying or in a confined space then mounted on the bottom shelf can be better. They take up less space, are more flexible and often begin with a variety of different soil types occur. These units can be very good appetizer, while your feet wet. If you decide to dehydration is not for you, these devices are often cheaper and hasnot so much money.

If you have experience with the dry, adjust quantities, and large dry all at once a large capacity side-fan may be more appropriate. Until then, you should have a better idea of ​​what options are most important to you as well and can afford to take additional courses or displays network to meet your needs.

Drying of food can be enjoyable and economical. Purchase of draining or losing and store foods in season can save you money and provide asmall cushion against the financial uncertainties of life. Choosing the right equipment is important, but should not be a daunting task. Knowing what to look for to make a difference.

Just as the abundance of moisture makes it difficult to keep straight hair frizz and we are suffering from (curly-haired men and women know what I'm talking about), in laboratories and industryEnvironments such as food and human PET, leather, coffee bean grinding and brewing industries, excess moisture can be very serious. And we can not say exactly how wet it out just popping his head out the window, they left the factory workers and scientists hygrometers or moisture sensors to know if the place where you grind the production of drugs, beer, chips, coffee, food pets, breakfast cereals, and so on is dryenough. Hygrometers are extremely sensitive devices that can safely say if you need to do some sort of humidity control.

Industries and laboratories are typically installed on a moisture sensor on their premises, as every step of the process, can take the exact level of humidity. In some stages of the production process, a sample is taken and weighed. Then the humidity sensor is introduced, where it is dried. This cantake several minutes or several hours, depending on the size of the sample and what should be measured. After drying, the sample is weighed again. An operator compares two weights in order to know the water content in the original sample. If the result is an acceptable level, the process will continue, but if any correction or adjustment made, it will immediately so that the production process is not changed.

Air conditioners are quite simple. And 'the condensation and evaporation, and these two systems areessential for the absorption of humidity and cooling the environment.

Cooling occurs because the heat is removed from the room. All air conditioning systems use this principle when they operate. There are several ways to remove the heat: heat, cooling, convection and radiation.

The mechanics of a cooling system is to control moisture, provide ventilation and cooling of the air environment of a particular room or a building to make the environment as pleasant as possible. This mechanism isthrough four phases: the first, the compressor increases the coolant temperature and density, in addition to the heat exchanger cools the compressed vapor condenses to a liquid. Then the liquid is forced into the building through an evaporator. Here, the liquid is sprayed from a pressurized coolant and goes into an expansion chamber. In the expansion chamber evaporating the liquid to absorb heat from the evaporator coils and this is cool. TheLatent heat of air in the room, which is passed through the heat exchange batteries. This process takes heat the air inside the chamber and the refrigerant. The refrigerant vapor is returned to the compressor and the process repeats. The entire process is what makes an air conditioner.

Central air conditioning, the same principle, but on a larger scale. Central air conditioning system is mainly for offices,Houses and public buildings, although this is a better climate for investments in infrastructure, designed to adjust for these machines.

Basically, a dehumidifier takes moisture out of the house by sucking in moist air, and pushed the dry air on the opposite side. This dry air then mixes with the moist air, which makes it somewhat 'drier, which in turn is drawn into the dry to become over and over again. Moisture collects in a pan and when the pot is full, the unit shuts off automatically. The dehumidifier is controlled by a humidistat, which react to changes in humidity ratherContent and is absolutely necessary for efficient energy consumption.

While a dehumidifier can reduce moisture depends on whether it can be minimized a lot about your current room temperature.

Dehumidifiers can be for environmental protection, especially in areas where the humidity to rise more than 50% natural. In places where the humidity is over 50% is mobile and tends to affect the causes of wood rot and toxic mold and fungi that the port can cause odor andany health problems.

If you are not sure if you really need a dehumidifier are there, make some signs. Some of them are, condensation on windows or wet spots on ceiling tiles or walls. If the room feels closed and has a musty smell, or if there is an increase in allergies and allergic reactions among family members, a dehumidifier can definitely help.

When you choose, make sure it is enough to handle the job. The placement is just as important, andwhen the ventilation device can be placed on it against the wall. If there is no ventilation, should be removed from walls or furniture can be positioned to allow proper circulation.

Sleep and daily activities can be affected by conditions of excess moisture at home. However, the general feeling of discomfort will be alleviated with a dehumidifier. As always, as is used in all devices, safety is top priority and should not be affected.

Winter-Roach Control

Cockroaches like humidity and heat. You can survive anything, but it's cold is a significant reduction of their reproduction. Information on how people prefer to be out cockroaches active and in good weather.

The ideal temperature for breeding is about 86 degrees Fahrenheit. This is about the perfect temperature. Think of an incubation of eggs. He needs a little 'convenient, but not blazing hot. A mild 86 is doing the job well.

Humidity Control

Emphasis on basicLife cycle and is very sensitive to small changes in temperature. For example, if the temperature drops five degrees of the reproductive life cycle of cockroaches is approximately halved. If you cut five degrees, another half cycle. So in other words, for ten degree drop in fresh breeding beetles to reduce 3 / 4.

The detection of temperature on reproduction is the cockroaches relatively more cockroaches in warmer and wetter cold States.States with cold winters and have the fewest bugs.

How does this for me?

One thing is to do the cockroaches to be locked for the winter. They, like a hot spot beneath a kettle, a stove or in the pantry. Areas with lots of outdoor cockroaches are easy to find in the house for the winter. Mechanical controls, and boric acid powder into the cracks of cement can be stopped from walking to your house and reproductive success ..

Winter Treatment

A mistake that people make,is to forget their problems in the fall and winter beetles. A lot of people see a reduction of their appearance, because they are less active and do not produce as always.

For many people, the beetles have seen many times in the spring and summer are still there in winter. The attitude of mind, have not achieved the best results.

Instead, when the numbers are down cockroaches, is a good time to go to complete the deletion. For example, you could bring something good comes out cockroaches boric acidnear the nest for easy access. You could also put a little 'dust in the cracks of concrete, when they try to enter the house for warmth.

One thing is certain, it is easier to remove a smaller active workforce than larger ones. This winter, do not forget to put some 'fresh bait boric acid roaches.

Dust mites are invading - Residential HVAC systems to protect your family health

If you activate a series switch, you want to turn on the lights. When you press a button, giving the computer you want to live. When you turn the key, you want to start the engine. You are responsible for the results of research. Period. So you are looking for residential HVAC in Atlanta: automatic air conditioning in your home.

In a summer day in the South want the air in your house the family to be something very different from what happens outside. You want it nice and cool andYou want to move the humidity somewhere between 30% and 50% mark. The first factor is obvious comfort. If the humidity is high, the body's natural cooling is far less effective, so if you can not keep up sweating, evaporative cooling with the need. Lower the humidity is less need to sweat and when the need arose, the process works better.

Humidity Control

The second factor is the lesser-known serious health benefits. American homes are experiencing aThe invasion of mites can lead to asthma and other allergic symptoms. The three main types, despite the modern technology and multi-family are multiplying at an alarming rate entered.

There are at least three ways to fight these little creatures.

Low humidity - dust mites can not live in conditions of humidity remains low. A relative humidity below 50% is usually fatal to evil creatures. This means that to keep your home - and family- Safe from these specific parasites depends in part on the reliability and efficiency of your HVAC unit. Regular check-up training covering all parts of the system are an important safeguard against an attack from unwelcome guests.

2007, Year of the Humidor

You may have heard that this season, all the teams in Major League Baseball is storing the balls in humidors have. If you have not heard, I do not feel bad, I almost lost myself. In fact, I only learned last year that the Colorado Rockies had been with them 2002

What is a Humidor? There is a space where they are kept both the temperature and humidity constant.

Humidity Control

Why save the balls in a humidor? As you undoubtedly know, the Rockies' Coors Field,highest rate of home runs hit in the majors. It also happens to be the largest stadium in the majors. This fact, and this fact alone, was constantly in the rate of production of high responsibility.

However, the Rockies began to think outside the box. Denver is a place to keep very dry. As things dry out like baseballs, are more difficult. Baseball is more difficult to travel further when hit. To combat the effects of drought, they put the balls in a humidor.

The effect was that every year sinceProduction rate was at a level more in line with the rest of the season fall. It was not the quantity, after all, at least not alone. I liked the way the pitchers were not as shocked now as in the past.

This could indicate that, if not already gone to some controversy last year. It 'was the claim by some that humidors have an unfair advantage for the Rockies. Never mind that this is ridiculous, because both teams play with the same balls. In addition, it is seen as theRockies are playing lately? On the other hand, had a better season last record at home.

However, MLB decided that each team should do the same. Everyone must be uniform, so that each team now has the humidor.

In fact, this is not entirely correct as I understand it. Each team must now save the balls in a temperature-controlled environment. It must not become a humidor. This distinction is important.

I have seen very little about how thisImpact on production of the entire league. I've seen a few players mentioned reviews humidor that affect a particular player in a statistical way or another. Call this effect the humidor. Rotowire has a small article mentions the fact in general and suggest them in the last row that production actually decrease dramatically. They base this prediction on the fact that reduced production at Coors Field.

I take a scientific approach.

First, I collectedMoisture data for all major league cities. I then discovered that the provisions of the humidor. MLB says to store the balls in the controlled environment of 70 degrees and 50 percent humidity. The balls they need as they are received and can not be taken for more than 20 minutes before the game saved. This information is very important in my study.

The average humidity of 57 percent of all major league cities Denver and Phoenix on to 40 to 23, whichAverage is 59 percent. Remember, these are average annual afternoon. It is usually wet in the morning and less in the evening, when most games are played. In addition, a handful of cities are wet from June to September, two months, for which I have data.

Thus, the balls have an average humidity is less than the real one in which the humidity should be used. Colorado has shown how a heavy ball will go further. We can therefore expect a higher rate of home runs inthe most humid cities like Los Angeles, San Diego, Milwaukee and Miami.

But the levels to change throughout the year. Seattle is at 62 percent (third behind Los Angeles and Milwaukee) wet when we take the annual average of only 53 in June. Remember that the balls are 50 percent. This means that at the beginning of the Mariners can expect a normal home run rate that remains constant throughout the season, although he hit 83 percent in September.

How is the humidityInfluence on the balls when they are used are taken from?

It seems to me that the balls are absord moisture and less hard. This means that prices should be higher home run games in the beginning of hot summer days and return to normal later in the inning.

I'm no scientist and I do not know how fast a ball can absorb moisture. Make a couple of hours may not be enough to make a big difference. I also do not react like a bullet with 50 percent humiditySuddenly placed in a humidity of 70 percent. The two factors may have the opposite effect and decrease prices.

Looking at my humidity chart, not many cities have average humidity in the month of June. Most are actually very close to the level of 50 percent in this time of year and I think that in the month of April as well. But if a baseball is kept at room temperature, humidity, would probably absorb the moisture in the morning.

So the question is how fast you lose that moisture. I amI imagine it would take a day or two. This means that with the humidor, the balls will be more standardized. They are drier than in the past, means that it will be harder and therefore more home runs are usually taken, and probably more in keeping with the season.

Things should stay the same virturally in Denver. As in Phoenix, drier-than 50 percent all year, morning, noon and night house prices go down on foot. Depending on how fast the balls lose their moisture,home run rates will be higher in the second half of games.

So basically, I think that the increase in production. The only question that remains is what has to be struck? In Denver, was just over 25 percent, which just so happens, the percentage difference between a 40 and a humidity of 50 of its

I do not think it will be so dramatic. There are too many factors that we know nothing, because no one ever studied. But we could see as much as ten percentor to increase more in production. This is my prediction bold.

The Joker is the fact that while all teams are directed, the balls are kept in temperature-controlled rooms not those humidifiers. Furthermore, no scientist, but for me it is the temperature control to control humidity. What will the humidity inside? If not 50 percent, then the whole theory goes out the window.

Apparently, most teams already storing balls in the room under controlled environmental conditions. We do not know whatThe teams have done this. We also do not know that teams have the full Humidifiers this season. When several teams were already doing, then there will be little change in 2007.

After the season, we can compare the data with the minor leagues. Since children do not use humidifiers (to my knowledge), will be in the control group. If the majors has increased by ten percent to race at home while the children remain the same, we would have our answer. I must, however, that cautionA few years pass before reaching that conclusion.

I think that MLB is betting on increasing production and can, in fact, it has to do it. It means, according to popular opinion is more and more home runs fans. If you see a way to increase production somewhat artificially, while baseball, not just a city, finding the fences, for example, you put more fans in the seats. If not all fully functioning humidor teams this year, you can bet it will all bevery soon.

2007, Year of the Humidor
