Country house to be demolished — to destroy or dismantle?

Assuming save, you need to be prepared for the rejection of the greater part of the materials. Suitable for the following construction is usually not more than a third of their total volume.

Start dismantling the house from the off of all engineering systems. Only then proceed to the dismantling of the veranda (porch), interior and exterior finishes, insulation. The next stage is the extraction of Windows and doors. And then — top to bottom: take the roof, floors, interior and exterior walls, floors, and finally the Foundation.

Remove from the facades siding is not difficult. It is sufficient to Unscrew the screws, after which the elements of the outer skin can be easily removed from profiles. The only thing that can be damaged the first strap, the rest can be used in the future.

No difficulties in disassembly and clapboard facade. Masters are advised to immediately remove the nails. Otherwise, you will have more space for storage of the wooden parts. In addition, there is a risk of injury and damage to the tool during cutting boards.

Since I took up gentle dismantling the house, try to keep the material at its best. Wooden elements are insulated from moisture. Boards are placed on pieces of roofing felt and covered with a dense polyethylene. In a new house they can be used for sub-floor.

Reaching the insulation, be prepared for the different "surprises". Half a century ago, panelled cottages were warm! Lucky if it's earth or sawdust mixed with lime: they are non-toxic and can be useful on the site. Much more problematic insulation — glass wool. Over the decades, it lost strength, so how to equip before you begin to dismantle.

Dust from the crumbling glass wool can cause allergies. Need to wear clothes, densely covering all parts of the body. Be sure to use rubber gloves, goggles and respirator construction.

Before removing the heater it moistened to reduce dust formation. The waste is Packed in big bags made of polyethylene. To ease the weight of wet glass, the bottom of the container is pierced for drainage.

To clean the Windows and doors a snap. If you can safely keep the glass of the frame will be useful for the equipment of the greenhouse or greenhouses. So do not rush to throw them away.

Getting to the dismantling of the roof, please note that work at height is associated with risk of injury. Don't neglect the helmet, pick up-slip shoes and use insurance funds. Ropes fastened to the supporting roof elements, in any case not to the chimney.

As for the re-use of roofing, amiss not all materials. Carefully dismantled slate suitable for outbuildings. Pulling out nails, a claw hammer put a piece of thin plywood or thick rubber. During the descent of the slate from a height remember that the old material is quite fragile. So don't treat him too harshly.

Metal roofing is removed, starting from the ridge. There is a chance that durable material can be used again.

Shingles — a disposable cover. It is easier to cut and to throw off the roof, than to spend forces for careful dismantling and end up with a bunch of elements with large defects.

Freeing the roof from roofing materials, dismantle the crate and crowbar tear off all the parts of the truss system. In the process, sort boards and drop the whole rotten and in different directions. Reduced time in sorting material on the ground.

Technology of dismantling wooden ceiling beams does not differ from the dismantling of other structures from this material. However, the beams are very heavy and need to collect a reliable company to work with. But in General, all that is required for the job crowbar, claw hammer, physical strength and adherence to the planned in place of the sequence of actions.

Harder to cope with plates of reinforced concrete, they are found in stone houses. Before destruction under the plates establish a reliable backup and are gradually cut off on a square meter of concrete. Not well-suited due to an insufficient depth of incision of 8-10 cm in addition, the formation of clouds of dust and small speed. You will need professional equipment that requires skill. So that dismantling of concrete slab, it is better to entrust to specialists.

Wall panel home dismembered with a chainsaw. So do wooden structures, if you do not want to touch a house of logs. In this case, each element is numbered, and subsequently placed in strict accordance with the labels.

Those who have already tried on their own to tear down the old house, I do not recommend taking the job on themselves. In many cases it is necessary to use special equipment. For example, for breaking a very strong of an oven laying. Manual removal may be too long and physically overwhelming.

Not too durable masonry wall, you can try to disassemble their own. For this a short distance in the vertical and horizontal seams hammered metal wedges and a sledgehammer to destroy a few items. Next, moving from top to bottom, drill drill holes between the bricks. They are extracted using a chisel and hammer. From the old brick walls are usually built outbuildings.

After dismantling or demolition of a building on the site remain the mountain of debris. A considerable part you will find good use. Broken bricks are used as filler in concrete mix, intended for foundations of outbuildings. Useful to the fight and during the concreting of the columns for the fence. Time-wasters wooden construction cut for firewood.

With any method of eliminating old house used building materials can be used again. Saved intact elements will allow you to save on the subsequent construction of a certain amount. But it will take time and physical effort. published
