Should water and electricity go to the top or the ground?

Is the water and electricity on the roof or underground?

Nothing is absolute. Hydropower transformation is a big project and a hidden project. Once there is negligence, it will inevitably cause great trouble in the future.

Whether the water pipe is on the top or on the ground, in fact, there is no clear norm in the country and the home improvement industry, which is decided by the owners themselves. Some decoration masters say that hydropower is an industry standard, but it is not.

Connecting water and electricity to the ground means that water pipes and wires will be laid on the ground. Water and electricity pipelines start from the main line and water pipes, and will go underground to reach every power socket and water point. The overall operation is difficult and saves labor and materials, so most ordinary families will choose this installation method.

On the other hand, water and electricity are connected to the roof, that is to say, water pipes and wires will be distributed to the roof, then run on the roof, and then connect various power outlets with water points. This method has only become popular in recent years, but more people choose to walk on the ground than on the roof, because hydropower walking on the roof not only needs a lot of materials, but also is difficult to construct, and in order to maintain the beauty in the later period, it also needs to spend a sum of money to beautify the ceiling.

Advantages and disadvantages of hydropower entering the ground

Let's talk about the advantages of hydropower first. As mentioned above, water and electricity installation is the most economical and convenient. In addition, there is no need to consider the aesthetic problem when installing, because nothing can be seen when tiling, and the overall materials are less, which can save a sum of money on the pipeline.

And its shortcomings are also worried by many people, that is, it is afraid that it will be difficult to find and maintain in the later stage of water leakage, and it will inevitably affect the downstairs, destroy neighborhood relations and even lose money. Sometimes it may be necessary to pry open the floor in order to find out the water seepage point. So it is normal to have this consideration. But to be honest, the probability of water leakage is not too high for families who choose hydropower to go to the ground. As long as the quality and construction specifications of hydropower materials are selected, the possibility of water leakage is very small.

Advantages and disadvantages of walking on hydropower roof

Compared with hydropower going to the ground, the biggest advantage of hydropower going to the top is convenient maintenance. When the line is broken, it doesn't need to spend a big project to repair it, but only need to check the problems on the ceiling or suspended ceiling, which reduces the cost of checking and repairing the broken floor after water leakage and avoids great trouble.

However, if you choose hydropower to go to the top, it often means spending more than half of the renovation costs. First, because of the trouble in construction, construction workers need to stand on stools and work with their heads held up all the time, and they also need to put on fixing clips. If you hit the beam, the labor cost will definitely double; Secondly, it consumes more materials, because the water connection points of power sockets at home are generally distributed in the middle and lower part of the wall, and the water and electricity pipelines will be longer from above, which invisibly increases the decoration cost. It will cost a lot of money to make a ceiling for the whole house afterwards!

Moreover, the exposed water pipes are easy to age after a long time, which greatly affects the service life. Another disadvantage of climbing the roof is that holes should be punched where there are beams. Once punched, it is likely to cause damage to the main structure of the house, and the cost of punching will also increase a lot.

Generally speaking, whether to walk on the ground or on it depends on the specific situation and cannot be generalized. One is to look at your own budget, and the other is to choose according to the housing structure and waterway foundation. For example, even if your family is rich and lives on the top floor, the water pipe is not recommended to go to the top, otherwise the water pressure will be significantly reduced, and in areas that need water, such as bathrooms and kitchens, going to the top will be better than going to the ground.

To put it bluntly, it's not that it's better. The risk of water leakage is the same. However, all materials pass the customs clearance, and the construction is strictly in accordance with the implementation specifications, and the problem is basically not big. What we should pay attention to is the quality control of the decoration project.
