    But the residual energy is because there is a problem with the water supply pipeline, you can do the water supply pipe water pressure test work, observe whether it is stable for 24 hours, if the pressure is changed, then the water supply pipeline will have water leakage problems in the later stage.

    After the water pipe pressure test is completed; Level the ground and then do waterproofing. Try not to damage the original waterproof layer. If you need to replace the original floor tiles in the bathroom, after chiseling off the original floor tiles, you must first level the ground with cement mortar, and then do waterproof treatment, so as to avoid leakage caused by uneven thickness of the waterproof coating.

    How to check for leaks in the bathroom.

    Bathroom leakage will not only affect the owner's own daily life, if the infiltration is serious, it will also cause the downstairs neighbor's room to leak, so once the bathroom leakage is found, it must be solved in time.

    1. Water leakage on the ground.

    When the owner himself usually takes a bath or mops the floor, if he finds that it is easy to generate water between the ground and the wall, and there will be infiltration, then it means that the cause of the leakage in the bathroom is the leakage of the floor. At this time, it is necessary to re-do the waterproofing, and the floor tiles need to be re-paved.

    2. Water leakage caused by water pipe rupture.

    The leakage caused by the rupture of the water pipe specifically includes the leakage caused by the damage of the upper and lower water pipes, floor drains and toilet connections, which can be checked by the following two methods:

    1) Leakage of water pipes.

    If the toilet has not used water for several days, but there is still a leakage and the leakage has not been reduced, then it is a problem with the water pipe. When the water pipe leaks, there will generally be continuous, uninterrupted, or the phenomenon of increasing leakage, at this time, the owner should close the main valve of the water pipe in time, then the leakage will be reduced immediately.

    2) Leakage of sewer pipes.

    The owner can open the faucet or pour the water to the floor drain for a test, if it is found that the leakage of the sewer pipe increases, then it means that the pipe is damaged and leaking, and the sewer pipe needs to be replaced at this time.

    The above is a detailed introduction to how to check for water leakage in the bathroom, I hope it can help you solve the problem of water leakage in the bathroom.

    1. If you want to identify the water leakage of the house, you need to go to the site for testing, most of the water leakage caused by decoration is caused by changing the layout of the house, or drilling holes, and most of the water leakage in the building is caused by structural cracking or pipeline damage caused by external forces.

    2. If you want to distinguish the leakage situation, you can make an appointment with the decoration company and the property management office, go to the house to check it on the spot, and try to see the location of the leakage point better, so as to confirm whether there is a hole or demolition around the leakage point during the decoration.

    3. If the wall cracks near the leakage point, if there is a water leakage problem on the exterior wall, then basically the building structure is cracked, which is the problem of the house, and if it is a new wall, it must be a decoration problem. It is recommended to find people from both sides to come over for inspection, and it is better to analyze it together.

    1. Judgment of pipeline water seepage.

    Pipe leakage refers to the leakage caused by defects such as damage to the upper and lower water pipes, floor drains and toilet interfaces

    1) Leakage of water pipes.

    The manifestation of this situation is that the leakage is continuous and uninterrupted, and sometimes the leakage volume is constantly increasing, such as closing the main valve of the water pipe, and the leakage will be reduced immediately.

    2) Leakage of sewer pipes.

    First observe the leakage and make a record, then open all the faucets, toilets and pour water into the floor drain, if the leakage increases, it means that the pipe is damaged and leaking.

    2. Surface leakage.

    There are two ways to identify surface leakage, and the specific identification methods are as follows:

    1) Leakage occurs only under conditions such as bathing and mopping, that is, when water is drenched or accumulated on the ground and wall, and in this case, it can be determined as surface leakage.

    2) Use the method of inspection and identification of pipeline leakage to carry out inspection, if it is judged that it is not pipeline leakage, it is surface leakage.

    Second, the toilet leakage repair method.

    If the pipe is leaking, you can only plane the tiles, change the pipes, and redo the waterproofing. If there is water seepage on the surface of the restroom, the following methods can be used to repair it:

    1. Treat the dust, oil, and stagnant water on the surface, and keep the surface dry;

    2. On the entire surface that can be drenched with water, such as: tile surface, tile joint, wall joint, pipe root and other parts, spray and brush penetrating waterproofing agent, and do not leak spray;

    3. After the surface of the waterproofing agent is dry, fill all tile joints, damaged and defective parts with waterproof paste;

    4. For weak links such as wall corners, wall edges, and pipe roots, use Yunyu plastic steel mud to seal the edges.

    Note: After the waterproofing construction is completed, the waterproof material is required to be dry (usually after 48 hours) before it can be drenched. Because of the constant bumps during transportation, the waterproof paste will precipitate, and the surface will look a little dry, which is a normal phenomenon!

    Knead it for a while before opening to allow the waterproof paste to melt into a full cream.

    Second, how to deal with the leakage of the bathroom downstairs 1, the waterproof layer leakage is the waterproof layer leakage, the treatment method is more complicated, you need to find the location of the leakage first, and pry off the bricks on the surface of the floor, and at the same time clean up the waterproof layer of the leakage part, and then redo the waterproof layer, or seal with a waterproof strip, and then paint the waterproof coating on the waterproof strip, and finally close the floor drain, restore the floor, pay attention to the closed water test after the construction is completed, so as not to rework in the future.

    If it is a water pipe leakage, the water pipe leakage is the same as the leakage of the waterproof layer, you need to pry the floor tile open first, and then find the location of the water pipe leakage, and repair it according to the actual situation of the leakage site, it is recommended to reconnect the joint, and then do the sealing treatment, so that the effect will be better, and finally wait for the water pipe sealant to solidify, and then bury it back in the ground, repair the floor tiles.

1. Reasons for the leakage of the balcony roof:

It may be caused by washing the balcony with water upstairs, because the balcony basically adopts the dry paving method when laying the surface bricks, so a layer of water storage layer is formed under the surface bricks, and every time the balcony flushes water, it will seep into the water storage layer below through the ground brick joints, and when the floor drain joint construction is not tight, the water in the water storage layer will slowly leak down through here. Ask if the balcony is occasionally flushed with water upstairs. >>>More
