If the leakage of the toilet pipe is not solved in time, the space will be in a state of heavy moisture for a long time, not only the water bill will float away, but also the quality of their living will be greatly reduced. The toilet pipe includes the upper water pipe and the lower water pipe. To solve the problem of pipeline leakage, we have to figure out which part of the problem is the first, and then the right medicine.

How to determine the location of water leakage

(1) Water leakage pipe leakage is continuous and uninterrupted, and the water leakage will continue to increase, but once the water pipe valve is closed, the water leakage will immediately reduce. If this is the case, it can be judged that the Sheung Shui pipeline is leaking.

(2) First observe the leakage and make a record. After recording the amount of water leakage under normal circumstances, turn on all the taps, flush the toilet several times, and pour water into the floor drain. If the amount of water leakage increases suddenly, it is basically the damage of the sewer pipe that leads to leakage.

Toilet downpipe leakage, can be taken from the water to meet the maintenance method, can also choose the inverted plugging way. By contrast, the latter is more economical.

No matter which method is taken, when there is leakage in the pipeline, it is necessary to knock off the tile, change the pipeline and then do waterproof treatment. The waterproofing treatment of the sewer pipe belongs to the detailed construction, and it is necessary to carry out the filling sealing and additional strengthening treatment on the leakage part, so that its waterproofing can meet the expansion and contraction caused by different materials by temperature and other factors.

There is also a situation that the leakage is caused by the damage of the floor drain or the interface of the toilet, which is also called surface leakage. How to judge?

(1) Only in bathing, mopping and other conditions, that is, the ground and wall to produce water, water, leakage;

(2) Check whether it is the cause of pipeline leakage. If not, it is surface leakage.

When surface leakage occurs, the following methods can be used for maintenance:

(1) Clean the dust, oil and water on the surface, and keep the surface dry;

(2) In the whole surface that can be sprayed to water, such as: tile surface, tile seam, wall seam, pipe root and other parts, spray penetration waterproof agent, can not leak spray;

(3) After the surface of the waterproof agent is dry, fill all the tile joints, and the damaged and defective parts with waterproof paste;

(4) To the corner, wall edge, pipe root and other weak links, with plastic steel mud edge reinforcement.

If it is the problem at the interface of the toilet, open the toilet and observe: when the binding layer is higher than the sewage pipe mouth, brush several two-component waterproof coating on the side of the mortar binding layer towards the pipe root;

When the sewage pipe mouth is higher than the binding layer, the gap between the pipe wall and the binding layer needs to be filled with plugging spirit.

Toilet pipeline leakage does often happen in life, understand this knowledge in advance to nip in the nip, even if there is a problem, can also be repaired in the shortest time, try not to cause trouble and trouble to yourself and others.
