The ceiling is leaking, how should I fix it?

If the house is still within the warranty period, the owner should promptly notify the property management company for repairs to avoid danger. The ceiling is made of asbestos. Hang it piece by piece. Take off one piece to see where the water pipe is leaking:

1. The ceiling is leaking - there is always water somewhere on the ceiling

The first situation is: the waterproof layer of the upstairs bathroom and kitchen is not done well. In this case, the floor tiles need to be knocked out and waterproofed again.

The second situation is: the floor drain in the upstairs bathroom or kitchen is blocked, and the accumulated water leaks through the casing of the heating pipe, causing the ceiling to become wet. The repair method is to fill in the gap between the heating pipe and the casing of the residents upstairs. After filling the gap between the casing and the heating pipe, fill it with putty and smooth it out.

2. Wall seepage - water bleeds and seeps through the wall, causing mold spots and powder loss on the wall. There are many reasons for wall leakage, and it is more troublesome to remedy. The most important thing is to identify the cause and prescribe the right medicine. .

The first situation: the water supply pipe is not installed properly, the water pipe is of poor quality, and the galvanized pipe is rusty and aging, which may lead to water leakage. This situation is very troublesome. You can only replace the missing parts and eliminate the missing parts.

The second situation: the height of the waterproof layer of the light body wall in the shower area does not reach 1.8 meters, and the light body wall is prone to moisture in a humid environment all year round. You can change the angle of the shower head during the shower to avoid water spraying on the light wall; or modify the shower head to a load-bearing wall without a surrounding light wall; it is best to knock off the wall tiles and redo waterproofing.

The third situation: cracks appear in the exterior wall, causing the asbestos inside the wall to be damp all year round. Asbestos in the wall is not easy to dry after absorbing rainwater. Over time, water will bleed, mold, and powder will appear on the interior wall. When this happens,

The fourth situation: When building a house, the construction holes in the exterior walls are not sealed. Once it rains, rainwater splashes into the construction holes, causing moisture to return to the interior walls. Band-like or circular marks will appear on the walls after they dry.

3. Water seepage from the window - On rainy days, water seeps from the window, causing the interior walls to become damp, causing mold and powder to fall off. The most common cause of water seepage at the window is that the sealing between the window frame and the wall is not properly handled. In this case, just use sealant (general glass glue will suffice) to seal the window frame and the wall. .
