Water pipe leakage is a common problem in home decoration, but many people don't know how to check and maintain it. This article will introduce how to check and repair water pipe leakage, and how to choose water pipes for home improvement.

Check for water leakage.

First, observe the direction of water pipes according to the construction drawings. If there is a water pipe behind the water leakage point, you can turn off the sluice at home and let the remaining water from the faucet go. After a period of time, observe the water marks on the wall. If it disappears, it's probably a water pipe problem. If you hire a professional maintenance master, you can test it with a press. Once it is determined that the water pipe in the wall leaks, the master will dig the wall to find the leakage point.

Maintenance steps

Cutting off the water source is the first step, and then digging the wall of the leaking point to find the leaking part. Cut off the leaking part with a hacksaw, and make sure that the incision is smooth. Grind the new port with sandpaper and put it on the interface for hot melt connection. Another method is to clean the sawed nozzle, coat it with special glue, connect the "bamboo joint" and rotate it repeatedly until it is firm. Connect the other end in the same way, and finally stick the joint firmly to prevent leakage.

Wall repair

After the maintenance, if the budget allows, it is recommended to waterproof the leaking pipeline. After waterproofing, repair the hollowed-out wall, and then restore latex paint or tiles.
