If the waterproofing is not in place, it will often \’leak\’!

1. Check the waterproofing project

For concealed waterproofing projects, the most important thing is that the construction should be meticulous and the construction procedures should not be messed up. Teacher Yang suggested that the water should be closed for 24 hours before decoration. Test, after confirming that there is no leakage, backfill and level it, waterproof the wall and floor twice, then stick wall tiles, and repaint the floor for the second time. Three times of waterproofing should be done and the water sealing test should be done before laying the floor tiles (the water sealing test before construction can also play a role in distinguishing and determining the responsibility of the waterproofing project. If there is leakage, the responsibility lies with the developer; if there is no leakage and if there is leakage after decoration, The responsibility lies with the decoration company)

When checking the circuit, pay close attention to whether the following points are in place:

(1) Whether the wires are laid in the insulating sleeve and whether the circuit connectors are installed in the wire box;

(2) Whether strong current (such as lighting wires) and weak current (such as telephone lines, network cables) are routed separately, remember , it is strictly prohibited for strong and weak currents to share one tube and one bottom box;

(3) Whether there is repeated wiring and winding, ensure that the cross-sectional area of ​​the wires in a single tube does not exceed 40% of the cross-sectional area of ​​the tube, and the strength

3. Check the wall

When viewing the decoration site, wall inspection cannot be ignored. Be sure to carefully check whether there are cracks, peeling, bursting, etc. on the wall. , if a similar situation occurs, it means that there is something wrong with the waterproof coating or latex material or there is no steel mesh on the wall.
