Sealing well rings in different ways

Having installed a drinking well made of concrete rings on your own site, be sure to seal it inside and out. Thereby you will protect yourself from the possible entry of a source of water pipe into the mine, as well as dirty sewage from the sewage system.

General information

If you do not do it or do it badly, then expect that you will get muddy water, concrete rings can leave their places, the level in the well can increase dramatically without a reason. Naturally, such a liquid can not be consumed for drinking, moreover, it can simply be hazardous to health.

When the concrete rings will create a cellar from well rings or a well for sewage, you simply will not have time to pump out water from them.

Types of reinforced concrete wells:

• for drinking water;
• for water intake;
• communication.

In this case, find out how many rings you need for the well will be possible only after the opening of the aquifer. Therefore, it is better to cook or buy them with a stock.

Than usually spend sealing

• okleechnoy color;
• use plasters that are applied under compressed air pressure;
• gasoline-bitumen mixtures.

Plaster

For work you will need:

• cement gun;
• Cements (not lower than M-400):

• high-quality pozzolanic;
• waterproof expansion;
• waterproof non-shrinkable.

The main work is carried out by a cement gun. Cement is placed in 2 layers with their own hands, making sure that the thickness is in the range of 50-70 mm.

Subsequent layers are applied after the previous setting. The process is long and takes more than 10 days.

Tip: during the application of the solution, make sure that the ambient temperature is not below +5 ° C.

In summer, the coating should be watered with cold water in 2-4 hours. In spring and autumn - after 12 hours.

Bitumen-gasoline solution and pasting sealing

Prepare materials:

• wooden spatula;
• cement gun or compressor with a spray nozzle;
• petrol;
• bitumen;
• mastic.

Sealing wells in this way is carried out in 3 layers:

1. The mixture for the first layer consists of one part bitumen and four parts gasoline.
2. The second and third do one to one. In this case, bitumen must be grade 3 and above.

After the treatment, the surface of the concrete well will become even and begin to shine.

The solution is applied using a compressor with a spray nozzle or a cement gun.

1. Thoroughly clean the surface of the concrete rings.
2. Put the soil in the form of a mixture of bitumen with gasoline in a 1: 1 ratio. Wait until it dries.
3. Apply bitumen mastic to the pipes, and glue the sealing sheet over it. Overlap the seams in 100 mm.
4. Smear all seams carefully with mastic. Press the material very tightly to the surface of the well and seal it with a wooden spatula. The height of the layer of mastic - 2 mm.

Tip: during the work, observe safety precautions: do not smoke, so as not to cause a flame, and also use gloves for work.

As mentioned above, there is a pasting sealing. This type of insulation is resistant to deformation, soil movement and aggressive media. It is carried out by rolled materials, which are glued with a solid carpet, and two or more layers are applied. If you know how many water rings there should be in the well, you can check the quality of the insulation after the sticker.

Sealing of joints

Insert

It is considered one of the best methods of sealing wells.

1. Pump out all the water, remove the cover of the well construction, remove all the ends of the pipe.
2. Expand the entrance to the concrete ring to install the coupling.
3. Lower the insert into the well.
4. Connect the inlet to the sewer line with a special coupling.
5. Fill the insert with water.
6. Proceed to backfill.
7. Pour the dry mixture into the gap between the concrete ring and the wall of the insert. Its composition - cement and sand in the ratio of 1: 5. Ensure that the water level is 100-150 mm above the level of the mixture. So you can create equal pressure on the walls of the insert outside and inside.

The insert is manufactured with a wall thickness of 100, 150, 200 mm. The hatch is made round or rectangular. Inserts must be reinforced inside with special stiffening rings.

Conducting sealing rings well with special inserts allows you to eliminate leaks in the seams for more than 30 years. The price of works is consistent with the result.

Sealing rubber and other materials

1. In this case, RubberElast rubber sealing tape is used. This method of sealing the seams of concrete rings is considered the easiest. One strip of tape reduces the seam width to 7 mm.

Tip: fasten the concrete rings between each other with metal clips, then the displacement of the well rings will not be large.

1. It is possible to use jute, hemp or flax rope instead of sealing tape. Pre-impregnate them with Kiilto FIBERPOOL fibrous rubber, a highly adhesive agent designed for waterproofing the shower and pool. Then the inter-annular seam is puttied with “Plitonit”, cement-based waterproofing putty. After it dries, Kiilto FIBERPOOL is applied, a reinforcing mesh is installed and a layer of “Plitonite” is applied again. You can replace it with frost-resistant tile glue.
2. Another way to seal joints is a mixture of PVA glue and cement, which are mixed to a thickness. Then with a spatula you need to lubricate all the seams with this solution.

How to seal concrete sewer wells

Purchase the following materials:

• sealant for well rings "Peneplag";
• waterproofing compound "Penekrit";
• mix for waterproofing "Penetron".

Prepare the tools:

• Master OK;
• jackhammer or perforator;
• brush for applying material;
• grinder with a diamond disc;
• plastic container;
• brush-wit for metal;
• measuring capacity;
• water spray.

Preparing the surface of concrete rings:

1. Punch off the old concrete.
2. Use a metal brush to level the surface and clean it from old cement, dust and old paint. Thus, you remove everything that may interfere with the penetration of waterproofing.
3. Make strokes 25x25 mm in size along the entire length of the seams, communications and cracks and brush them off with a metal brush.

Prepare sealing solutions:

1. Make small indentations in all places of leaks identified in sewer manholes, then fill them with Peneplag sealant. It should be diluted in the ratio of 1 kg of sealant to 150 ml of water and mix thoroughly. The solution should be filled half the previously made indentations. The next layer is laid after the first has set.
2. After that, a solution of "Penetron" in the ratio of 1 kg of the mixture is diluted in 400 ml of water.. Take a brush and handle leaks.

1. At the last stage, the cracks are sealed with Penekrit, dilute 1 kg of the composition in 180 ml of water, as required by the instructions.. Moisten the surface and fill the solution with any remaining leakage. During work, do not rush, wait until the first layer grabs. Moisten the leak again and seal it with a second coat. The drying time of the material is about 3 days. During this period, make sure that the well is not subjected to mechanical damage, as well as moisturize its surface with a spray to avoid cracking.

Tip: cover the well with a film, so you eliminate the rapid evaporation of water.

You can also use Aquabarier cement mortar to seal the joints of wells for sewage. Outside facilities are treated with coating waterproofing. A well made of reinforced concrete rings is sealed with waterproofing waterproofing materials.

Another option is to buy ready-made plastic cylinders for sewer manholes. Their installation will provide an opportunity to 100% eliminate the leakage of dirty water into the ground.

In the same way handle overflow and neck joints of the rings. Reinforcement of the sealant at the points of shrinkage and, where it is possible to displace the rings in the well, will contribute to the reliability of the waterproofing.

Conclusion

Sealing concrete rings is an important step in the device wells for drinking water and sewage. In the presented video in this article you will find additional information on this topic.
