Many people think that their house decoration will not be a problem if they keep an eye on the construction team every day. However, you should not only carefully do your own waterproof work, but also urge your neighbors upstairs to do the same. You should also ask your neighbors upstairs to do a closed water test after the waterproof work before and after tiling, and you must be notified.
During the 24-hour closed water test upstairs, you must carefully observe whether there is leakage on the roof of your building. As long as there is a little Yin wet, you must request the upstairs to be waterproof again, and never be soft hearted.
If your upstairs neighbor has checked in when you are decorating, you should carefully observe whether there are water marks on the top of your bathroom. It is better to ask your neighbor to notify you to check after a large amount of running water, such as bathing. If problems are found, they can be rectified as soon as possible to avoid losses after the decoration is completed.
If the waterproof layer is damaged, it must be remedied in time.
In fact, the principle of waterproof is very simple. It feels like a layer of rubber, which encloses the water. So after the waterproof is finished at home, we must pay attention to the construction. As long as a very small point of the waterproof layer is damaged, it is totally white, and water will flow out along the damage point.
If the waterproof layer is damaged, it must not be troublesome. It must be remedied and the waterproof must be redone.
Wall waterproofing is also important
"Waterproof? I have finished the waterproof of the kitchen and bathroom! No problem!"
Do you think the same way? If it is, it misses an important item of waterproofing - wall waterproofing.
Wall waterproofing is very important, but it is often ignored. Therefore, we should also strictly investigate the wall waterproofing, not only our own rooms, upstairs rooms, and the next room, but also all aspects of the investigation should be in place and carefully done.
What points need to be done for waterproofing
When it comes to waterproofing, many people will think that it is the bathroom and kitchen! However, many people are not very clear about where to take precautions in the bathroom and kitchen.
For waterproofing works, the key areas are as follows:
1. The toilet floor must be waterproof. Before waterproof, the base course must be cleaned to keep the surface dry.
2. The wall of the toilet should also be waterproof. The wall of the shower area should be 180 cm, and other walls should be 30 cm.
3. Another important point is that the leakage part of the toilet is mainly at the root of the upper and lower pipes and the foot of the wall, so these places also need to be waterproof for 30cm, and it must be "full" when doing waterproof.
4. If the original waterproof layer is damaged by water and electricity transformation and grooving, the waterproof shall be redone.
5. For those places that need to be grooved to bury water pipes, waterproof re burying pipes should be made in the grooved to prevent water pipes from leaking to other places in the future.
6. The kitchen floor may not be waterproof.
