3 ways to solve problems when the road is higher than our home
Basic house problems that often occur with commercial buildings or an old house located along the road is the problem of noise and smoke from the cars that use the route If near the main road, there is a large car running through. The house will shake, causing the house to crack as well. What's more, when the tape is added to road elevation at least by about a foot at a time. Or build a new road. The first floor of the house will be immediately lower than the road.
Problems arise when it rains heavily. Water can't drain quickly will flow into the first floor Even some houses are prepared to deal with this problem in advance by casting the edge of the car. Prepared water barrier concrete There is still water seeping from the folk along the edge of the corner where the floor hits the wall and tile grout.
Therefore, when the road is higher than the house, there are three ways to adapt to the changing environment.
1. Solve problems in the house by adjusting the level of the house
Some houses may upgrade the first floor folk. To be at least the same height as the road level This home solution is suitable for a small difference in height. about half to one foot Because when adjusting the floor to be higher, the overall height in the room decreases. The next problem is
- The lower ceiling will make you feel uncomfortable.
-Lower windows allow outsiders to see more inside the house and that's worrisome.
- Safety matters May have to remove the door leaf to cut off the bottom to fit the height of the additional space.
- The power socket that used to be slightly higher than the floor will need to be moved to a higher position.
- The stairs upstairs will disappear immediately in one to two steps.
Another solution for houses where the street is half to a meter higher than the first floor folk. Is to choose to place the steel thong on the new set of beams and then lay the smart board as a floor in the form of a light structure floor Even the light structure floor will bear less weight than the cement floor. But it increases the weight of the original house structure less than the cement floor as well.
