We all know that bathroom waterproofing is essential, so is it necessary to waterproof the kitchen? Although it is said that the use of kitchen waterproofing is very inefficient, but this is also very important. In the kitchen renovation, did not do a good job of waterproofing, will cause overflow accidents, the situation is mainly the following:

1, the downspout clogging, resulting in water return;

2, the inlet pipe rupture, resulting in a large amount of water leakage;

3, the basin is not closed tightly, washing and shuffling is splashing the countertop of water through the seams continue to flow into the water;

This

Three cases in addition to the second case in the daytime must be home in the case of people can be found in time the other estimates need to be careful people through careful observation to find. Because the current water and waterways are closed in the cabinet, cabinet skirt with grommets and glass glue closed, minor leaks will accumulate in the cabinet, usually downstairs neighbors will be the first to find leaks, but this time has been quite serious. Obviously, the chances of this happening would be very low which is why the use of waterproofing in the kitchen is inefficient. One of the uses of kitchen waterproofing is to cope with this low probability of accidents, in this sense like the car airbags,

the more cars equipped with airbags is not that I want to use it but to use it to cope with accidents, but not because it is seldom used that I do not need it at all, which is the reason that the current 40,000 yuan of small cars also have airbags.

The importance of kitchen waterproofing

1, try not to destroy the original waterproof layer

In the new delivery of the use of the building,

bathroom, bathroom and kitchen floor are in accordance with the relevant norms to do the waterproof layer, so do not destroy the original waterproof layer of the occupants generally do not occur after the leakage. Now the prevailing problem is that the renovation will increase some bathroom bathing facilities and a variety of water and sewage pipelines to re-layout or move, itself has seriously damaged the building's original waterproofing layer, however, there is no repair or re-do the waterproofing construction, so that leakage occurs after the discovery of the problem.

Recommendation: waterproof layer in the redecoration of the ground is easy to be destroyed. If not repaired in a timely manner, leakage will occur in the future, the neighbor. So pay attention to protect the waterproof layer in the renovation, if accidentally destroyed, to repair in a timely manner, so as not to leave hidden dangers.

2, resurfacing tiles to do ground waterproofing

If you need to replace the original bathroom tiles, the original tiles chiseled, be sure to use cement mortar to level the ground,

and then do the waterproofing treatment, which can avoid waterproofing coatings due to uneven thickness caused by leakage. Before doing waterproofing, be sure to clean up the ground, with the U.S. Chaofang water-solid waterproof coating repeatedly painted 2 to 3 times.

I suggest: the joints between the wall and the ground and the pipe ground joints between the upper and lower water, is the most prone to problems, be sure to urge the workers to deal with these edges and corners, waterproofing coatings must be coated in place. Requirements for the renovation team to the kitchen, bathroom water and sewage pipes are good cement root protection, from the ground upward brush 10 to 20 centimeters of polyurethane waterproofing coating, and then the ground and then redo polyurethane waterproofing, together with the original waterproofing layer, composed of a composite waterproof layer to enhance waterproofing.

3, be sure to do wall waterproofing

bathroom bath water will be splashed to the neighboring wall, such as no waterproof layer of protection, the next wall and the top corner of the wall is easy to wet mold. So be sure to do a good job of wall waterproofing before laying wall tiles. General waterproofing treatment in the wall to do 30 centimeters high waterproofing treatment, but non-load-bearing light wall, you have to waterproof the entire wall, at least to 1.8 meters high.

Suggestions: waterproofing of walls adjacent to the location of the shower should also be 1.8 meters high, if you use the bathtub, and the bathtub adjacent to the wall of the water solid waterproofing coating height should also be higher than the upper edge of the bathtub.

4, water pipe grooves in the wall to do waterproof

Construction process in the pipeline, floor drains, etc. across the floor, the hole around the waterproof layer must be carefully constructed. Buried in the wall water pipe, to achieve a reasonable layout, laying water pipe are made larger than the diameter of the groove, the groove plaster rounded, and then brush the groove in the U.S. Chaofang water solid waterproofing coatings.

Suggestions: kitchen, bathroom floor must be sloped to the mouth of the floor drain, increase the slope appropriately, kitchen, bathroom pipeline renovation should try to avoid changing the original drainage and sewage pipelines and floor drains location, to avoid re-routing chiseling the floor damage to the waterproof layer caused by leakage.

5, with 24 hours "water test" acceptance of waterproof

In the waterproofing project is done, seal the doorway and drain, in the bathroom floor full of water to reach a certain height of the liquid level, and mark, 24 hours if the liquid level does not drop significantly, especially downstairs, the roof of the home did not leak, waterproofing is done. Do qualified. If the acceptance is not qualified, the waterproofing project must be redone as a whole, re-acceptance.

Suggestions: for the acceptance of lightweight wall waterproofing construction, should be taken to the water test, that is, the use of water pipes in a good waterproof coating on the wall from top to bottom uninterrupted spraying for 3 minutes, 4 hours after the observation of the other side of the wall whether the phenomenon of infiltration will occur, if there is no infiltration phenomenon can be considered as a waterproofing construction of the wall acceptance.

Throughout the above list of kitchen renovation waterproofing points, I feel that the kitchen renovation waterproofing is very necessary. If the kitchen waterproofing is not done, once the water leaks, kitchen waterproofing repair will be very difficult to repair the need to remove the good cabinets, resulting in huge losses.

In the waterproofing project is done, seal the doorway and the water outlet, in the bathroom floor full of water to reach a certain height of the liquid level, and mark, 24 hours if the liquid level does not drop significantly, especially downstairs, the roof of the home did not leak, waterproofing is done. Do qualified. If the acceptance is not qualified, the waterproofing project must be redone as a whole, re-acceptance.
