After moving in, the most feared is the leakage at home, I summarized these 6 home "water leakage disaster areas", is a common problem of countless Chinese families!
1. The waterproof layer is aging and leaking
The aging of the waterproof layer of the toilet sink is very common, mainly due to environmental factors such as natural weathering, humidity, temperature difference, etc., and the non-standard waterproof construction is also one of the reasons.
During construction, genuine waterproof coatings are selected, and the quality is more guaranteed. There can be no hollowing, cracks and other phenomena in the base layer, and it must be uniform when applying waterproof coatings, and all places must be covered, especially the edges.
2. Water leakage at the connection of the angle valve
Since both ends of the angle valve need to be connected, there is a high chance of water leakage at the connection. Usually the leakage of the angle valve is more difficult to detect, but the leakage is generally more serious when it is found.
Before installation, it is recommended to apply the mortar adhesive layer and the side of the tile with glass glue or plugging king around the water pipe outlet, even if the angle valve leaks, the water will flow to the outside of the tile and will not flow into the mortar layer.
3. Water leakage around the aluminum alloy window
The water leakage problem of aluminum alloy windows is the hardest hit area of household water leakage, and the main reasons for water leakage are non-standard construction, wrong installation sequence, and aging sealant.
When installing, the two sides and top of the aluminum alloy window should be filled with styrofoam to ensure that the gap does not leave dead corners, and the good quality weather-resistant sealant should be added. Tile or aluminum alloy waterproof board can be laid on the window sill, and then covered with weather-resistant sealant.
4. Water leakage from floor drain faults
The leakage of the floor drain fault is caused by the misalignment between the floor drain and the drainage pipe or the distance between the floor drain and the drainage pipe is too long, and a part of the water flows to the cement mortar layer.
When installing, be sure to make sure that it is perfectly aligned with the drain pipe, it is best to coat the fault of the floor drain with waterproof material, or you can use an extended floor drain core to let the water flow directly into the drain pipe.
5. Water seepage under the threshold stone of the bathroom
Water seepage under the bathroom threshold stone is a common problem in decoration, which will cause problems such as alkali and mildew in the corners and wardrobes, and the root cause is that the waterproofing is not done well.
Before paving the sill stone, you must do waterproofing again, or you can choose to pave the sill stone first, and then do waterproofing, which can avoid water seepage. It is best to do secondary drainage before laying the floor tiles.
6. Roof leakage
This is a common problem when living in a rooftop house, and the main reason is that the roof will crack after the sun and rain, and the ground will crack.
Usually it is necessary to disassemble the floor and re-do the waterproofing, preferably with waterproofing membrane, and then lay the tiles.
