Renovation of an old wooden house
Despite the fact that wooden houses used to be built to last, nothing in this world lasts forever. Therefore, sooner or later the owner of such property will face the need to carry out repairs. Repairing an old wooden house is not an easy and expensive task. But on the other hand, having renewed the structure, you can use it for many more years.
Repairing the walls of a wooden house
Most often, old wooden houses in the process of overhaul need the following types of construction work:
- Replacement of crown elements destroyed by the decay process. This is an important step, because if you ignore the damaged crowns, then the logs located above will simply crush them over time. Because of this, distortion and even destruction of the house can occur. This is a very time-consuming process, consisting in raising part of the building and installing new crowns;
- Fixing longitudinal cracks. Over time, the tree dries out and cracks appear in it, running along the fibers. Moisture gets into them, which is extremely unfavorable for the material. Seal such defects can be done with special sealants for wood. A more expensive option is full wall cladding with boards or clapboard;
- Replacement of individual damaged parts of logs still usable. Such problems arise in places where moisture gets on the tree, for example, from the roof. Repair is carried out by sawing out the rotten area and making an insert from new wood.
It is worth noting that if the house is built from glued beams, then there will be much less hassle during restoration. This material resists rot very well, and the standard elements make it easy to replace if needed. You only need to know the dimensions of the timber and order it from suppliers in advance.
Repairing the foundation of a wooden house
Sometimes there are problems with the foundation. The stone and concrete structures of the base sag over time due to wet soil and the house warps. To fix the problem, you do not need to disassemble the entire building. The foundation is dug up to the very sole in separate sections of 1 – 1.5 meters. After gaining access to the structure, a tunnel is made under it, into which reinforcing meshes are placed. After that, formwork is installed and concrete is poured. After the material gains strength, the adjacent area is exposed and the process is repeated. So you can gradually strengthen the foundation under the whole house.
It’s a little more difficult to renovate an old wooden house if the foundation has sagged significantly. In such cases, the tunnel is made deeper and 1 – 2 railway jacks are installed in it. They try to make the fulcrum for the mechanisms as much as possible – for this they use rolled sections, for example, a channel or an I-beam. The metal is placed between the anchor point of the jack and the foundation. After that, the sagging part is slowly lifted and fixed. Subsequent amplification in such areas proceeds according to the usual scenario.
Repair of the roof of a wooden house
The roof of any building is much more likely to need repairs than walls and foundations. At the same time, even the smallest problems should not be ignored. If the roof leaks, then moisture gets on the floors, crowns and other wooden parts. In such cases, the house can rot in a few years. Therefore, repair of an old wooden house will certainly begin with an assessment of the condition of the roof structures. Works on this site are divided into two groups:
- Roof repair, including the replacement of damaged sections of slate, metal tiles or profiled sheets, as well as lathing;
- Replacement of elements of truss structures: mauerlats, racks, beds and rafters.
The second case is more time-consuming, as it usually requires opening the roof over a significant area and dismantling the roof’s load-bearing elements. Such work should be done in the summer, checking the long-term weather forecast. But even if weather forecasters promise two weeks of sunny days, you should keep plastic wrap on hand.
