The consequences of water dripping from the ceiling in the cellar are the most unfortunate: increased humidity, corrosion of metals and, of course, spoilage of food.
Let's quickly figure out what can be done to eliminate this problem.
First, let's briefly talk about the reasons for such an unpleasant phenomenon. Thus, moisture can penetrate through the walls and floor of the cellar in the case of high groundwater levels, and through the roof - during rains and melting snow. In addition, dripping water can be caused by errors in the construction of the cellar.
Now that everything has become more or less clear, we will tell you what to do to prevent drips from the ceiling.
1. If the groundwater level is high, installing a drainage system will help lower it and prevent water from entering the cellar.
2. If the problem is rainwater penetration, roof and wall repairs are necessary to eliminate leaks.
3. Also, if the cellar was not well waterproofed during construction, now you will have to carry out work to improve the waterproofing.
4. Proper ventilation will help prevent condensation and water dripping from the ceiling.
5. Finally, periodic inspection of the cellar's condition will allow you to identify problems at an early stage and prevent them.
