Hello everyone,
I hope someone here can help me.
Recently, our floor slab was poured – we do not have a basement. Around the floor slab, a frost skirt with a depth of 93 cm was installed. Under the floor slab, 3 empty conduits were led outside. Two of these are KG2000 pipes and one is a Kabuflex pipe.
For the KG2000 pipes, collar bricks were set before pouring the floor slab. Unfortunately, this was forgotten for the Kabuflex pipe.
Here is a picture of how it looked before pouring:
And here is a picture of how it looks now:
The conduit comes out approximately 20 cm below the ground surface outside.
Because of the missing collar brick, we are worried whether water might enter the house later on.
To my understanding, due to the frost skirt, water forming under the floor slab can be ruled out and therefore no water can enter the building from below the floor slab at the edge of the pipe.
Is that correct?
The only possibility for water would therefore be at the conduit’s exit at the edge of the floor slab.
Is there a way to seal this exit afterwards?
Around the house, a 30 cm wide and 10 cm deep gravel layer will be installed.
Would it help to make this gravel layer 20 cm deeper at the point where the conduit exits, so that the conduit ends within the gravel layer?
