How to make a sink in a bath: ways of arrangement

The bathhouse always occupied a special place in the life of the Russian people. Many people want to build such a building on their own. For them, this article can be useful. At the very beginning of construction it is necessary to decide how to make a sink in a bath. The best solutions in the financial and practical terms will be if the bath stands on the dais or adjoins the house. You will save in the first case on equipping the outflow of polluted water, and in the second one on lighting and the supply of sewage and water. This issue needs to be thought through before the foundation is laid.

The first option is to drain the drain pipe directly into the sewer, but this is possible, as a rule, only in the conditions of the city. The second is to excavate a pit for drainage of water directly under the foundation, and fix the walls with brick. Water accumulates, then is removed by means of cleaning technology. Such arrangement of a drain is possible, if the room is used by no more than three people. Nowadays, ground filtration has started to be applied, in such cases a settler (distribution well), an autonomous septic tank and the installation of drainage pipes throughout the site are necessary. The method is convenient for watering, but it is quite expensive and difficult to install, especially if the site is equipped. For those who choose options, how to make a sink in the bath, there is a reliable and long-tried method - tapping into the well behind the foundation.

During the arrangement of the base of the bath you choose the part of the area that has the greatest slope. Pour a pit at a distance of 3-5 meters from the basement. It should be at least 1.5 meters deep. Ideally, 50 cm below the freezing point of the soil. It is necessary that the water does not freeze. Bottom of the well is covered with gravel, crushed stone, expanded clay, creating a drainage system. The edges of the pit must be strengthened from shedding. This can be done with reinforced concrete rings, also using old tires or concreting with formwork. Over the drainage system, the soil is filled and tamped. Before this, from the bottom of the base of the building a pipe is laid, and it provides a drain in the bath. The material can be made of cast iron, PVC, asbestos, ceramics - any, only not steel, as it can rust. The pipe must not have any creases, bends, must be laid with the necessary inclination. Joints are additionally covered with concrete, the pipe is insulated. The diameter must be at least 50 mm.

This option of how to make a drain in a bath is suitable for all types of buildings. But requires periodic cleaning of the well and pipes from contamination. Therefore, we recommend that before choosing a place under the bath to pay attention to nearby ravines or natural gutters, possibly, in agreement with the relevant services, you do not have to equip the well, clean it. It is only necessary to insulate the outlet pipe.

When they decide how to remove water from the building itself, few people think about how to make shelves in a bathhouse so that water does not accumulate on them, and this is an important point that many people forget. So, to drain the water from the shelves, you need to leave a gap between them and the bath wall at least 1 cm. This will not stagnate water on the surface and in the corners of the abutment to the wall, facilitate their processing and maintain performance.
