    The reasons for a leak in the kitchen ceiling are as follows:

    1. Rainwater backflow.

    Usually, the hardest hit areas of water leakage are often in balconies, bathrooms, etc., but kitchen leaks are relatively rare, which may be caused by rainwater backflow, and the culprit of backflow is the installation of gas water heaters.

    Many families will choose to install gas water heaters in the kitchen, and the installation needs to be perforated for pipe arrangement, but if the perforation slope is not well controlled, the rainwater will pour into the ceiling with the void on rainy days, causing the kitchen ceiling to leak over time.

    In this case, the slope of the pipeline needs to be re-treated, and it is best to ask a professional master to come to deal with it.

    2. Upstairs residents.

    There is a leak in the ceiling of the kitchen, and the other "initiator" is likely to be the upstairs residents. If the house type is similar, it may be that the kitchen sewer pipe of the neighbor's house is damaged and causes water leakage, and the kitchen waterproofing work is not in place, so the kitchen ceiling downstairs will naturally drip and leak.

    For such reasons, it is necessary to negotiate with neighbors to deal with them, first find the leakage point and plug the leakage, and then redo the waterproofing and conduct a closed water test. At the same time, it should be noted that the maintenance costs downstairs should be borne by the upstairs users.

    Why does the kitchen ceiling leak:

    1. Large water consumption, frequent contact with water, and if the drainage design is not scientific, it will even accumulate water for a long time, which is one of the causes of leakage.

    2. The corrosion of detergent daily chemicals is also an important reason for the aging and failure of the waterproof layer.

    Third, the structure is complex, there are many pipelines, many wall corners, and many plane and façade joints, which bring great difficulty to waterproof construction, and non-standard construction is also one of the reasons for leakage.

    Fourth, the connection of the pipe, floor drain perimeter, wall corner and other connections is easy to deform and cause leakage, which is a high-risk part of water leakage.

    The kitchen leak repair method is as follows:

    First of all, you need to find the cause of the leakage, if there is a problem with the waterproof layer, there are usually two ways to deal with it: local plugging or overall re-waterproofing. However, not all water leakage situations can be solved by filling the leakage, and it is not necessary to re-do the waterproofing as a whole when encountering water leakage, and the specific situation needs to be analyzed in detail.

    If the leakage is small, the leakage area is small, and the leakage point can be accurately found, the method of repairing and plugging the leakage can be used. The specific operation method is to pry open the tiles near the leakage part, expose the base surface, chisel the leakage point into a "V" groove, and use a special permeable crystalline repair mortar to repair and plug the leakage first, which can be solidified in about 10 minutes, and then paint a kitchen and bathroom waterproof slurry around the repair place.

    If the leakage is serious, and the leakage area is large, or the specific leakage point cannot be accurately found, the problem can no longer be completely solved by filling the leakage, and then the whole waterproofing needs to be redone. The specific method is to remove the tiles and other decorations on the surface as a whole, expose the base surface, clean the base surface and clean it, first repair and level the gaps or potholes with penetrating crystalline repair mortar, and then paint the kitchen and bathroom waterproof slurry as a whole. The waterproof layer is dry thoroughly, and the process of tiling is carried out after passing the closed water inspection.

    Situation 1: The waterproofing of the upstairs kitchen is not done well. In this case, you need to knock off the floor tiles and redo the waterproofing.

    In order to avoid this situation, the owner should try to do a good job of waterproofing when decorating. Three closed water tests should be done for standardized construction, and the first closed water test is before the decoration workers enter the site; After changing the water and electricity, the bathroom and kitchen should be re-waterproofed, and the second closed water test should be carried out; After the tile is pasted, in order to avoid the damage to the waterproof layer during the tile paving process, a closed water test should be done again.

    Situation 2: The floor drain in the upstairs resident's kitchen is clogged, and water leaks through the casing of the heating pipe, causing the ceiling to become wet. The maintenance method is to fill the gap between the heating pipe and the casing pipe of the upstairs resident, and then fill the gap between the casing pipe and the heating pipe and then fill and smooth it with putty.

    In addition, try to avoid floor drain clogging in your life.

    Situation 3: There are many reasons for wall water seepage, wall water leakage, and water seepage, which cause the wall to produce mildew and powder and the wall to leak, and it is more troublesome to remedy. If you see obvious cracks, clean up the cracks and then plug them with cement again, and the use of CPC waterproofing agent is also very simple, just apply it directly.

    However, it works best when the weather is nice, and the area should be clean and clean. There can be no dust and water and so on. This solves the problem once and for all, and it's very simple.

    Situation 4: Water seepage by the window, as soon as it rains, water seeps by the window, causing the interior wall to be damp, and then mold and powder. The most common reason for water seepage by the window is that the sealing between the window frame and the wall is not handled well, in this case, the owner only needs to use sealant (general glass glue) to seal the window frame and the wall.

    In addition, if the outer window sill is lower than the inner window sill, water seepage will also occur at the window edge.
