Abstract
Leakage at the floor drain is the biggest cause of moisture damage in bathrooms today. Wooden joists are the most common type of joist structure in houses and because of wood being a moisture sensitive material, moisture damage at the floor drain can lead to big problems. The purpose of this paper was to find out the most common reasons to why moisture damages occur at floor drains installed in wooden joists, so that assembly methods can be improved and moisture damages can be prevented. TräGuiden is a webpage were instructions and advices are available to both individuals and businesses. In the section Golvbrunn i träbjälklag there is a general information on how the joists should be reinforced before the assembly of the floor drain. The... (More)
Leakage at the floor drain is the biggest cause of moisture damage in bathrooms today. Wooden joists are the most common type of joist structure in houses and because of wood being a moisture sensitive material, moisture damage at the floor drain can lead to big problems. The purpose of this paper was to find out the most common reasons to why moisture damages occur at floor drains installed in wooden joists, so that assembly methods can be improved and moisture damages can be prevented. TräGuiden is a webpage were instructions and advices are available to both individuals and businesses. In the section Golvbrunn i träbjälklag there is a general information on how the joists should be reinforced before the assembly of the floor drain. The purpose was to develop this chapter on TräGuidens website so that updated, educational and more detailed information can reach the public. Conversations with experienced operators in the industry of floor drains and wet rooms were conducted to get their view of how big the problem with moisture damages at the floor drains are and how they work to prevent this. They believed that the wall adjacent drains are the future and that the waterproof membranes together with incorrect assembly are the biggest reasons for moisture damages occurring at the floor drain. Insurance cases of moisture damages at the floor drain were collected at Länsförsäkringar in Skåne and were summarized into tables and charts. The result shows that leakage at the waterproof membranes connection to the floor drain is the biggest risk for moisture damages to occur at the floor drain. Factors such as the clamping ring is not fulfilling its function and that the floor drain is incorrectly mounted, are also common risks. In a greater extent the combinations of different causes of damage are a risk that will lead to the occurrence of moisture damages. A new proposal to TräGuiden was developed. The new version contains descriptions, comments and references to industry associations. It gives an overview of the assembly from the beginning to the end, were all the steps in the mounting process has been included. (Less)
