First, the reason why the kitchen is waterproof
1, easy to leak:
The kitchen is a place with a lot of water. If there is water on the ground, it is likely to flow into the wall through cracks in the wall, causing leakage. Once the drain pipe at the floor drain is blocked, it is easy to leak down through the cement layer.
2, repair time-consuming and laborious:
Once the kitchen leaks, it will waste more financial resources, manpower and time to rework or repair. If you want to knock off the floor tile to find out the water pipe in the cement layer, then repair it and reinstall the floor tile, it will bring a lot of inconvenience to the owner's life.
3, affect the neighborhood:
If the kitchen leaks water, it will affect the lives of neighbors downstairs, bring influence and inconvenience to neighbors' lives, and even seriously endanger neighborhood relations.
4. Economic losses:
If the leakage is serious and the downstairs decoration is damaged, compensation should be made, resulting in unnecessary economic losses. It can be seen that the influence and inconvenience caused by water leakage in the kitchen is great. In order to avoid the above phenomenon, waterproof treatment should be done when decorating the kitchen to prevent problems before they happen.
Second, what are the main points of kitchen waterproof construction?
1, try not to destroy the original waterproof layer in the process of kitchen waterproof construction. If you plan to redecorate the ground, it is easy to destroy the original waterproof layer on the ground. If it is not repaired in time, there will be water leakage in the future, which will hurt neighbors. Therefore, when decorating the kitchen, we must protect the original waterproof layer and repair it in time if we are not careful.
2. If you plan to replace the original floor tiles in the kitchen, after chiseling off the original floor tiles, you must level the ground with cement mortar, and then do waterproof treatment to avoid water leakage caused by uneven application of waterproof paint, which needs to be repeatedly applied for two or three times.
3, waterproof construction process, the waterproof layer around the pipeline and floor drain should also be in place, the water pipes buried in the wall should pay attention to whether the layout is reasonable, and check whether the plastering of the water pipe groove in the wall is smooth, and then apply waterproof coating in the groove after confirming that there is no problem.
It is necessary to waterproof the kitchen. In the process of construction, it is necessary to protect the original waterproof layer and carry out secondary waterproofing. If necessary, you can refer to the above.
