    1. Plug the sewer pipe.

    The waterproofing of the bathroom is usually carried out after the completion of water and electricity, so the sewer pipe must be blocked before waterproofing to avoid blockage, the small water pipe is blocked with a nut, and the large pipe is blocked with PVC winding film.

    2. Leveling of the ground and wall.

    Leveling refers to the ground plastering treatment, the thickness of leveling should not exceed 3, and the horizontal and vertical errors should be controlled within 5.

    3. Brush the waterproof paint for the first time.

    First, the wall water and electricity slotting is blocked with cement, and the base layer is cleaned, and the waterproof coating should be filled, and the base layer should be firmly combined, no cracks, no bubbles, no falling off, and the painting height should be consistent.

    4. Brush the waterproof paint for the second time.

    Note the first. There needs to be a certain time interval between the first and second passes, and the second pass can only be carried out after the first pass has dried. If the interval is too short, the waterproof effect will be greatly reduced.

    5. Lay a protective layer.

    In order to prevent the subsequent construction from damaging the waterproofing, a protective layer needs to be laid on top of the waterproof layer, and the protective layer should be completely covered with the waterproof layer.

    6. Closed water test.

    When doing the closed water test, the waterline at the highest point of the ground should not be lower than 2, and wait for at least 24 hours before there is no leakage. If there is a leak, it must be redone, and it must not be forgotten.
