What to Do When the Garage Gets Flooded During Rain?
1 Answers
Measures for dealing with garage flooding during rain: Tools such as pumps can be used to drain the water out of the garage. However, since water conducts electricity, it is essential to check if the garage's power supply is turned off before entering to drain the water to avoid any hazards. Causes of garage flooding: 1. Design-related causes: Mainly due to an excessively long basement, improper placement of deformation joints, or unreasonable design of deformation joints; uneven settlement leading to cracks in the basement floor or walls. 2. Construction-related causes: Primarily due to inadequate vibration during concrete pouring, missed vibration, poor handling of concrete construction joints, uncleaned concrete formwork fixtures, and failure to follow required construction practices in deformation joints (it is recommended to backfill settlement joints and deformation joints with compacted yellow clay on the outside).
