Water leakage, most worried? Pit?
The waterproofing of most bathrooms is actually quite good, and there is little water leakage. But are you so confident of your luck? You really won't be one of those few people? Let's assume that your luck is a little less. When you meet an unreliable bricklayer, the story begins.
I started waterproofing. After someone else's house is drained, it is waterproof and can be guaranteed for five years. How's your family? Shortly after you finished waterproofing, the following scene appeared:
▲ Water seepage downstairs.
It may also be like this:
▲ There is moisture regain on the bathroom wall.
Pit avoidance guide
1. Even if you are too busy to stare at the decoration, you must do the closed water test. Inspection standard of closed water test:
When storing water, pay attention to the water level mark and water surface made by yourself to see if there is obvious water leakage. If so, go downstairs immediately to see if there is any water leakage.
If there is no obvious water leakage, wait for 24-48 hours, and then go downstairs to confirm whether there is water leakage. Even if a little water stain is found at this time, it is not waterproof. Repair the leaking position again, and then carry out the closed water test.
2. Waterproof coating height: the wall must be 30cm waterproof, and the shower room is 1m 8, that is, the waterproof height of the shower room wall should be 1.8m waterproof.
3. It is also suggested to coat 20-30cm waterproof on both sides of the door cover, which can reduce the moisture regain of the door cover to some extent.
Water, the most annoying? Pit?
The drainage slope of the bathroom is the most basic bricklayer's work, but not every bricklayer can skillfully give you a smooth drainage slope. Although called? Slope? However, when the drainage slope is made in ordinary families, it will drop by about 1cm within 1m, which is difficult to see with naked eyes.
Other people's homes leave after taking a shower, and the water flows down the slope to the floor drain, so don't worry about the problem of water accumulation. Your home is different;
▲ insufficient slope, resulting in water accumulation.
By the way, in actual operation, not only the slope was not enough, but also several bricklayers simply reversed the slope.
The stagnant water in the bathroom is also related to the floor drain. In terms of location, it is generally placed in the corner of the bathroom, and holes cannot be made in the middle of the tiles. Please appreciate the treatment of floor drain by your unreliable bricklayer:
▲ unreliable practices
The correct way:
▲ Diagonal cutting method
Pit avoidance guide
1. After the floor tile is laid, splash some water on the ground and do a small experiment to see the effect of drainage slope. Early detection, early treatment.
2. The location of the floor drain is also very important. You can't do floor drain directly on the whole brick, and you need some special treatment, such as oblique cutting method and dislocation paving method.
Tile laying
Don't worry about laying ordinary wall bricks. If it involves tiles on the wall, or bricks with low water absorption, you need to use thin stickers. At this time, you will test the bricklayer. If your family is still that unreliable bricklayer, it is likely that the following will happen:
Thin glue is used as cement mortar and mixed with cement mortar. Besides, he may not be thin at all. The consequence is: empty drum, falling.
Pit avoidance guide
1. Tiling the wall is not recommended. If you must stick tiles on the wall, please use thin tiles (correspondingly, it will also increase the cost).
2. For tiles with low water absorption, it is not recommended to use traditional cement mortar for paving, but to use grout (when buying wall tiles, you must pay attention to consulting merchants on how to pave this brick. Generally, merchants in physical stores will tell you that Taobao merchants may forget).
3. Determine with the merchant in advance what paving method should be used for your bricks.
Shuipingdun
The entrance to the bathroom is also the hardest hit area. If there is no strict separation between dry and wet in the bathroom, then the door of the bathroom will be more or less exposed to water. A reliable master will make a water stop pier for you at the door of the bathroom:
Pit avoidance guide
1. If there is always water in front of the bathroom, tell the master in advance and ask him to make a water stop pier for your bathroom door.
2. The doorstones are generally 3-5mm higher than the tiles in the bathroom, which is already very suitable.
Of course, bricklayers are not the only ones in the bathroom? Use your talents? Other links are not handled well, and it is easy to fall into the pit of decoration. It will not only affect the normal life of your family, but also affect the neighbors downstairs. Therefore, the importance of a reliable bricklayer can be seen from this.
