Home decoration is an important investment and test for every family. Among them, the bathroom, a small space that is frequently used every day, can sometimes cause big problems. In particular, the problem of water seepage at the door of the bathroom has made countless owners feel a headache. Today, I'm going to delve into this topic and take you to find out what secrets are hidden behind the water seepage? Imagine a well-renovated new house, only a few months ago, but the wall at the bathroom door has begun to yellow, the wall white has fallen off, and the beauty has been greatly reduced. Home, which was supposed to be a safe haven, has become anxious because of the label of "seepage room". And such a situation is not uncommon in Chinese home decoration. Isn't it "kind"?
Because it is likely that a similar situation has occurred in your home, some are only slightly damp, and some may have traces of dampness on both sides of the wall. As soon as many people see this, they start desperately searching for a solution. Some people collect all kinds of grassroots secret recipes on the Internet, and some people quickly invite renovation workers to ask for advice. It is common practice to apply oxalic acid to the damp wall to prevent the wall from damp and alkali. This method, which seems to cure the symptoms, temporarily restores the dryness of the wall, but what about the root cause? Yes, the dampness is not visible for the time being, however, the moisture and problems in the wall are not really solved. Time is the only criterion for testing truth. Unsurprisingly, many owners find that after a brief period of dryness, signs of dampness reappear, even worse than before. Why is this so? The reasons behind this are not simple.
The problem of water seepage in the bathroom is often related to many factors: it may be that the waterproof layer is not in place, it may be because the pipe is leaking, or even because of improper use Xi, and the water will be splashed in the door area for a long time. Simply dealing with the wall is just a symptomatic but not a curative measure, which is a little hasty. The real solution must start from the root cause and be examined, analyzed, and dealt with step by step. So, how do we effectively solve the problem of water seepage at the door of the bathroom? First of all, we need to check the integrity of the waterproofing layer. The waterproof layer is the first line of defense to prevent water seepage, if the waterproof layer is not done in the early stage of decoration, subsequent problems will be difficult to avoid. Secondly, it is necessary to check whether the connection of the pipe is tight, and the aging and damage of the pipe can be the culprit of water seepage.
If there is no problem with either of these aspects, then it is time to consider our usage Xi. Long-term improper use, such as splashing water when taking a bath, over time, the wall absorbs too much water, which will also lead to water seepage on the wall. At this time, in addition to changing the use Xi, adding threshold stones and raising thresholds can also effectively isolate the spread of water outward. Restoring a leaking wall is more than simply brushing up with oxalic acid or repainting. This requires professional waterproofing materials, strict construction standards, and meticulous attention to detail. Sometimes, it may be necessary to partially or completely renovate the entire restroom in order to address the root cause of the problem. When it comes to renovation, it is equally important to choose qualified materials and a reliable construction team.
There are a variety of waterproof materials on the market, and the price is also very different, choosing the right and cost-effective material can make you get twice the result with half the effort. The professional and responsible construction team can better ensure the quality of decoration and keep your home away from water seepage. That's all for today's sharing, looking forward to your home, away from the trouble of "water seepage". If you have any questions about renovation, or want to know more about renovation, don't forget to follow me, I'm talking about renovation, we'll see you next time! Imagine that you've just finished a busy day at work, walked into your home, and are ready to enjoy a soothing shower in the bathroom. However, when you push open the bathroom door and inadvertently sweep the wall on the left, you find that the wall skin is peeling off and the wall is bulging. Such a scene may not be unfamiliar to many families.
What's even more frustrating is that the construction party often pushes back on this situation, after all, thorough maintenance means a lot of expense. Let's dive into why this little corner of the bathroom has become a nightmare for countless families. First of all, we have to face the fact that there are many possibilities behind the water seepage at the bathroom door. Leaking water pipes, leaking sewer pipes, improper installation of angle valve showers...... These are common murderers. However, among the various reasons, there is one important detail that is often overlooked – the waterproofing around the sill stone. This detail is likely to be the key to the water seepage problem in your bathroom. During the renovation process, many people follow the standard construction process: first do the floor waterproofing, then lay the floor tiles, and finally install the sill stones.
It sounds reasonable, but that's the last step. Because the waterproofing measures under the sill stone were neglected, as soon as the water under the floor tiles was cleared, the water would find its way out of the doorway, and finally, the wall suffered an unfortunate impact. Here's a little trick for decoration: first make sure that the wall is waterproof and impermeable, then lay the tiles, and wait for the wall tile work to be completed, then lay the threshold stone and do the ground waterproofing. During this process, remember to handle the area around the threshold stone carefully to ensure that there are no loopholes. In this way, water will not seep out of the doorway in future use, ensuring the dryness of the wall. But some careful people may ask: the floor of the bathroom has been paved with tiles, and there is the double protection of the shower partition and the floor drain, how can the water that should be bathed flow to the floor drain, how can it penetrate into the cement mortar layer under the floor tiles?
That's what we're going to focus on. The seemingly perfect brick-laying and seam technology cannot completely block the invasion of moisture. Here, we uncover a detail that is often overlooked in decoration - the correct installation of floor drains. You may not realize that floor drains are not always properly attached to sewer pipes. Sometimes, because the sewer pipe is not properly positioned or the length is insufficient, the worker simply installs the drain surface into the sewer pipe when laying the floor tiles. But in reality, the floor drain is likely to just stay on top of the cement mortar layer. This seemingly inconsequential detail is the source of many subsequent problems. When you bathe in the bathroom, the water doesn't initially flow directly into the floor drain, but rather accumulates in the cement mortar layer under the floor tiles before slowly flowing down the drain. Over time, the problem of water accumulation under the floor tiles becomes serious, which eventually leads to the problem of water seepage at the door.
First of all, we must pay attention to every detail when decorating, especially the installation of floor drains. Make sure the floor drain is not only installed on the ground, but also properly attached to the sewer pipe. This may seem like a small change, but it can save you endless troubles in the future. Secondly, if you have already encountered the problem of water seepage in the bathroom, you may wish to tell the construction party about these possible causes and details, and ask them to carry out a thorough inspection and maintenance. Of course, this may mean that you will have to incur some expenses, but it is certainly worth it compared to the more serious problems that may arise later on. The problem of water seepage in the bathroom seems simple, but there are traps hidden behind it. When decorating such a seemingly simple living space, we must be more careful and patient.
With the right waterproofing knowledge and skills, we can ensure that our homes are dry and comfortable, free from the troubles caused by water seepage. Finally, when it comes to the maintenance of restrooms, it is not limited to solving the problem of water seepage. Attention should also be paid to cleaning floor drains regularly to prevent clogged drains, as well as to keep restrooms ventilated to reduce the impact of moisture on the walls. In daily life, giving more care and maintenance to the bathroom can make every corner of the home full of warmth and comfort. Have you ever thought that the most overlooked detail in a home can become a major problem in daily life? Yes, I'm talking about the seemingly trivial problem of water seepage at the bathroom door. Don't underestimate this little gap, it can be a slippery trap in your daily hurry, and it is also a chronic poison that eats away at the peace of your home life.
When it comes to decoration, most people can be described as both love and hate. What I love is the expectation of a new home, and what I hate is the sequelae caused by omissions in details. Especially in the bathroom, the place where water vapor is most concentrated in the home, if the waterproofing work is not done properly, then the follow-up problems are really not covered. Imagine that after a long hot shower, you find that the floor in the bathroom door is wet, and the water stains are even starting to extend into the bedroom. Not only does it bring trouble with cleaning, but it is more likely that the wooden doors will swell and the floor will deform due to moisture, and in the long run, the wood products in the home will be damaged. What's more, if the problem of water seepage is not solved for a long time, the humidity in the house will rise, and bacteria and mold will breed, posing a threat to the health of the family. This is really an invisible "chronic disease in the family".
So, do you know what is the culprit of water seepage at the door of the bathroom? It turns out that many people do not do enough waterproof measures around the threshold stone when decorating. If the sill stone is not firmly paved, or the surrounding area is not properly plugged, it is like leaving the door wide open and allowing the water to invade your home with the wind. So, how can you solve this problem once and for all? In fact, it only takes a few simple steps. When decorating, the key is to lay the threshold stone first, and seal it around with professional plugging products such as plugging king. This is followed by floor waterproofing to create a sealed space. If your bathroom is designed with a shower partition, it is important to install and waterproof the partition cornerstone. If your bathroom is already facing water seepage problems, don't panic, there is no problem that cannot be solved.
At this time, what you need to do is to remove the surrounding floor tiles, ventilate and dry, and use the plugging king again for waterproofing, and after the closed water test is confirmed, the ground can be repaired. Also, don't forget the last step – make sure the floor drain and sewer pipe are seamlessly connected to prevent water from flowing under the floor tiles.
