Framer: structural post was placed at the corner of the the basement wall as per architectural drawings Framer: to create column structural post was covered by plywood. Janal Heating: Outside surface of the column is covered with copper Janal Heating: Outside Column surface is covered by copper Janal Heating: To create waterproofing sealing stuff was placed along the copper edge, i.e. copper was glued to the concrete Janal Heating: PVC downspout is installed inside the column On the column you can see top and bottom white PVC pipe Janal Heating: You may see joint PVC pipe with the metal pipe, which come from Janal heating gutter, Said metal pipe and all two joints was made by Janal Heating Rein water comes to the basement floor following way: 1. From the gutter to the small metal 2" pipe (made by Janal Heating) 2. Via metal pipe and PVC downspout joint (made by Janal Heating) 3. Down along PVC downspout (made by Janal Heating) 4. 99% of said water flashes out the column... 5. About 1% of said water leaks into the column and finds its hidden way along the inner surface of the basement wall 6. After that water spreads under the hardwood floor all over its area As far as I disconnected PVC downspout from the gutter water leakage stopped and never appear again despite several heavy reins and showers |
