How to judge whether the toilet is really leaking?

There's a leak in the bathroom. Don't worry. Judge the water leakage in the bathroom, where it leaks and what water it leaks, and then carry out waterproof maintenance on the bathroom according to the water leakage in the leaking part.

First, the judgment of toilet leakage

There are two reasons for water leakage in general toilets, one is ground seepage, and the other is water pipe rupture seepage.

1, judgment of pipeline leakage

Pipeline leakage refers to the leakage caused by defects such as damage to the upper and lower water pipes, floor drains and toilet interfaces. The inspection methods are as follows:

(1) Water leakage in the upper water pipe

The performance of this situation is that the leakage is continuous and uninterrupted, and sometimes the leakage is still increasing. For example, if the main valve of the water pipe is closed, the leakage will be reduced immediately.

(2) Leakage of sewer pipe

First observe the water leakage and make records, then turn on all faucets and toilets for multiple flushing and pour water into the floor drain. At this time, if the leakage increases, it means that the pipeline is damaged and leaking.

2. Surface leakage

There are two identification methods for surface leakage, and the specific identification methods are as follows:

(1) Leakage only occurs when taking a bath or mopping the floor, that is, water is sprayed or accumulated on the floor and wall. In this case, it can be determined as surface leakage.

(2) Check the pipeline leakage through inspection and appraisal. If it is judged that it is either pipeline leakage or surface leakage.

Second, the bathroom leakage maintenance method

If the pipeline leaks, you can only plan the tiles, change the pipeline and re-waterproof it. If there is water seepage on the toilet surface, the following methods can be used for maintenance:

1. Clean the dust, oil stain and accumulated water on the surface and keep the surface dry;

2. Spray penetrating waterproofing agent on the whole surface that can be soaked with water, such as the surface of ceramic tile, the joint of ceramic tile, the joint of wall and the root of pipeline. And spray it without leakage;

3. After the surface of waterproof agent is dried, fill all the joints and damaged and defective parts of ceramic tiles with waterproof paste;

4. For weak links such as corners, walls and pipe roots, Yu Yun plastic steel mud is used for edge sealing and reinforcement.

Note: After the waterproof construction is completed, the waterproof material should be dried (generally after 48 hours) before watering. Because of the bumps during transportation, the waterproof paste will precipitate and the surface looks a little dry, which is normal! Knead it for a while before opening it to make the waterproof paste fully gelatinized.
