Almost every owner of his own private house with the arrival of winter faces the problems of icing roofing, the drainage of drains and the fall of snowy snowdrifts from the roof. Such phenomena significantly reduce the performance characteristics of the whole house in the cold season. In addition, a sustainable negative impact provokes the accelerated pace of destruction of the main materials used to build a building. It is impossible to lose sight of the fact that the avalanches of snow may well cause damage to property at the receiving territory, and even irreparable harm to health. Therefore, in the process of designing your own house, more attention is paid to the formation of the heating system of drainage and roof.

Why make heat heating?

The competent organization of such a system will help to avoid many problems and will give the following advantages during the operation of the house:

• Preservation of the external attractiveness of the architectural ensemble
• No snow masses on the surface of the roof
• Obstacle to icing waterproof
• Preventing the destruction of the roof
• Preservation of interior integrity
• Lack of leaks after thaw
• Preservation of property inside the house
• Obstacle to the destruction of the facade of the building
• Excluded injury by residents.
  
  

  Important! This list of advantages of the arrangement of the heating system of drainage and gutters is far from complete. These advantages are the most weighty in this list that directly affect the quality of life.

Why appears Flash?

The formation of the cover of the land and the icicles on the sleeves of the roof most often occur for the following reasons:

1. Construction of a house with warm roofs - attic. With the arrangement of residential premises directly under the roof, a stable heating of air in the room must be carried out. In winter, heat rises up and contributes to the heating of the roofing carpet, which is why the lowered snow flows down to the drainage. In the absence of a heating system on the gutters, the water is cooled again and acquires the shape of the ice.
2. Instability of the temperature regime at different times of the day. Most of all appears the formation of icicles and ice blocks during the period of sunny days and spring thaws. Permanent day heated snow on the roof contributes to its thawing, at night, shifted to the grooves, lowered snow and water ride again, but already a solid heavy block of ice, and not fluffy lightweight. The result is most often the breakdown of drainage, part of which is broken under pressure.

What makes the heating system?

Modern technologies allow you to create several variants of the waterproof heating system. The greatest popularity is the method of laying the heating cable, the power of which is derived from the electrical network.

Important! If possible, give preference to this particular option, since its effectiveness exceeds the effectiveness of any other way. By asking how profitable such a decision, keep in mind that the price of the drainage price varies depending on the length of the line of the main element of the system and the quality of the selected components of the circuit.

Electric heating device of drainage

The device of the heating system of the drainage is difficult, therefore requires a lot of components.

The main components of it are represented by the following parts:

1. The control shield for the formation of which will be required:
   • protective disable device
   • input three-phase automatic
   • 4-pole contactor
   • single-pole protection machines for each phase
   • thermostat chain protection
   • signal lamp.
2. The distribution unit that consists of:
   • power cable
   • signal cable for connecting control unit with thermostat sensors
   • mounting boxes
   • connecting couplings to guarantee the tightness of the entire chain.
3. The thermostat, for the design of which is used by one of the most acceptable options from two parts suitable for this purpose:
   • the thermostat device, the operating temperature range of which varies in the range from -8 to +3 degrees Celsius, and the functioning process requires constant independent control.
   • weather station, the possibilities of which are significantly expanded and allow to control not only the temperature, but also the amount of precipitation, as well as the process of their melting.
     
     

     Important! If possible, prefer the installation of the meteorological station, since such a device allows you to automate the process to maximize - just set the necessary parameters when commissioning.

4. Heating cable suitable type:
   • resistive
   • self-regulating.
5. Fasteners:
   • screws
   • roofing nails
   • mounting tape
   • thermaceutive tubes
   • rivets.

What type of cable is better?

Carefully and carefully thinking the device of the heating system of the waterproof cable, choose the main element of the chain - the cable itself. From the preferred type and quality of the product, not only the uninterrupted functioning of the system is completely dependent in accordance with the specified requirements, but also the volume of upcoming expenses, both during installation and in the process of direct exploitation.

Previously read the advantages and disadvantages of each option to make the right choice:

1. Resistive cable. This building material is a conventional metal cable, the basis of which is internal veins and outdoor isolation. Distinctive features of it consist of the temperature of heating, power and resistance. Therefore, to regulate the mode of its operation will have to be independently.
   

   Important! With regard to value, this product is more efficient. Therefore, the arrangement of the entire system will cost much cheaper.

2. A self-regulating cable is characterized by higher technological. The temperature control, heating power and resistance levels are automatic, depending on the natural weather conditions.
   
   

   Important! The advantages of using a self-regulating cable you will also appreciate when laying a line on the drainage, since the requirements are not so high. In addition, during operation, the cost of the power source is significantly lower. Given the automatic control of the system, there is also no need to use temperature sensors. Browse the video in which the principle of the self-adjusting cable device is shown in detail.

When to perform mounting work?

The best solution is the design of the line layout and the installation of the remaining parts of the system at the stage of creating a plan of the house. But if the building failed at the same time to form heating of drains and gutters simultaneously, then perform this work at any convenient time, but before the onset of cold weather.

Montaja technology

Perform the installation of waterproof heating, after examining the basic rules for laying lines and fastening individual elements of the chain. When designing the system wiring, focus on the proposed schemes below, the creation of which made competent specialists.

General Recommendations for Installation

1. Position the cable in the locations of melt waters.
2. Cable laying lines carry out in 1 or more threads, focusing on the diameter of the gutters used.
3. Calculate row power, given the size of the elements of the drainage system.
   

   Important! Standard solutions - 200-300 W / m2.

4. When finishing the funnels and the output part of the pipe, create an additional increase in the two cable lines, the power of which does not exceed 30 W / stranded meter.
5. When decomriage, calculate the length of the cable so that it covers 2/3 spaces.
   

   Important! For endanda, the power of the heating cable is 250-300 W / m2.

6. To increase the effectiveness of heating near the cornice, give preference to the snake technology of installation.

Detailed instructions for mounting the heating system with warming cable

1. Seam the cable laying locations.
   

   Important! When laying the cable laying line, be sure to consider the complexity of the rotation of the system. If necessary, cut the details of the appropriate size and connect them with the couplings.

2. Carefully inspect the surface throughout the area of \u200b\u200bthe intended installation of the system for sharp corners and protrusions.
   

   Important! Their presence along the chain line can contribute to the cable break.

3. Secure the cable on the drainage gutters across the design using the strip of the mounting tape.
4. Store the fasteners step in accordance with the following standards:
   • 25 cm for resistive product
   • 50 cm when installing self-regulating cable.
5. All stripes of the ribbon fasten the rivets.
6. Treat all places of compounds by mounting foam.
7. In the pipes, pave the cable in accordance with the selected technology - in a straight or "snake".
8. Fasten heat-insulated tubes or mounting ribbon.
   

   Important! With the height of pipes more than 6 meters, perform additional fixation of the metal cable.

9. When installing directly to the roofing coating for a reliable clutch, use the mounting foam and sealant.
   

   Important! Do not drill the roof coating, regardless of the type of material used, for the use of other type fasteners. Such an approach will provoke the appearance in a short time of the leaks, which can affect not only on the violation of the stability of the microclimate, but also on the integrity of all interior items.

10. Determine the installation location of the mounting box.
11. Check the insulation resistance of each section.
12. Mount the thermostat sensors.
13. Squeeze the signal and power cable.
14. Measure the resistance of the installed cables.
15. Test the automatic shutdown device to match its protective function.
16. Set the appropriate thermostat settings.
17. Enter the system to operate.
18. Check out the stable and efficiency of work.
19. When identifying any inconsistencies, adjust the settings.
    

    Important! Review the video in which the principle of installation of the heating system of waterproof and gutters is shown using a heating cable.

Conclusion

The amount of work on the design of the heating system of drainage and gutters is quite large. But its implementation in accurately compliance with the rules is necessary to ensure the proper stability of the house and prevent emergency situations. In addition, the implementation of such a procedure will protect you and exclude concern about your health and the preservation of the integrity of the entire property.
