Waterproofing works should not be ignored

Home improvement waterproofing is an important hidden project. Once it leaks, the furniture and walls will become moldy, and the decoration will be damaged, and the neighbors will lose peace, and the loss will easily cost tens of thousands. To avoid the problem of moisture and leakage, it is necessary to understand the misunderstanding of waterproofing and supervise the quality of the product, so as to ensure that there is no "wet".

However, it is easy to fall into the misunderstanding in the decoration. Let's analyze the four major mistakes.

Misunderstanding 1: The waterproof layer made by the developer has passed the acceptance inspection, and there is no need to do waterproofing in the home improvement. However, when decorating, taking into account the owner's living habits and other factors, it will increase the bathroom facilities and re-layout or move various upper and lower water pipes/lines, which will seriously damage the original waterproof layer. If waterproofing is not done, leakage will inevitably occur.

Coping strategy: try to protect the original waterproof layer from being damaged, otherwise the original waterproof layer must be removed, and then the waterproof layer must be redone.

Misunderstanding 2: When decorating, as long as the waterproofing is done. However, the base surface of indoor bathrooms and kitchens has high humidity, many pipes, is affected by the cold and heat of water pipes and eroded by detergents, and has high requirements on the performance of waterproofing agents. If inferior materials are used carelessly, it will directly lead to leakage. .

Coping strategy: Choose waterproof brands with excellent quality and good reputation produced by regular manufacturers.

Myth 3: As long as the pipes, floor drains and other holes are well waterproofed. However, bathing and other situations will cause water flow to penetrate into the tiles and tile joints on the ground, causing leakage.

Coping strategy: The waterproof construction parts should be comprehensive: around the holes such as pipes and floor drains, around the equipment such as sanitary ware, the floor and walls of the bathroom (the height should not be less than 1.8 meters), and the floors and walls of the kitchen and balcony (the height should be returned to the height). not less than 0.3 meters) should be waterproof.

Myth 4: All parts are waterproof. Note: No matter what kind of waterproof coating, it has its standard construction method. If you cut corners, leakage will also occur.

Of course, people are becoming more and more aware of the waterproofing of home improvement, and the requirements for waterproof coatings are also getting higher and higher. Therefore, the inspection of waterproof engineering is required to be more and more strict.
