What should I do if the brick wall leaks water? Is there any quick solution?

Wall seepage is a headache. So what should we do?

First of all, find the reason: is it the external wall or the bathroom kitchen?

For exterior walls, clean the exterior first. If there is a cement layer, it is best to remove it. If it is larger, it should be painted waterproof, which can be bought in general paint shops. Waterproof will be as gray as a cement layer. There is water seepage in the bathroom or kitchen. It should be that the water pipe is not done well. Find out the leaking pipe, repair and test it, and then restore it to its original state.

There is a leak next door.

Reason: This situation is generally that the bathroom or shower room is next door, because water is often used, and the shower is used. At the same time, water is not waterproof and does not stick to tiles, which often causes water to spray on the wall, while ordinary cement, lime and putty have water absorption capacity. So when the water absorption reaches a certain amount, it will start to seep out on the other side of the wall.

Solution: If so, our family can easily solve it. We just need to drain the water on the bathroom wall, or put tiles on it, and then pay attention to filling the gaps between the tiles. Just spray a layer of waterproof spray before laying the tiles, and drain as high as possible. Because there was water seepage before, the waterproof coating should be as high as possible to prevent similar situations from happening again. If it's a neighbor's, we need to communicate well. After all, you need to communicate whether people are willing to work hard to redo the water.

The water pipe on the wall leaks.

Reason: If a water pipe is buried in your wall, you need to do a test to see if the water pipe in the wall is broken.

The test method of water supply pipe is to close the sluice to stop using water, and then observe the wall to see if there is still water leakage. Of course, this process will take a little longer, because after the gate is closed, there is still a period of waiting for observation.

The test method of sewer pipe is relatively simple, just drain water directly and then observe the water seepage of the wall.

Solution: If the water pipe is broken, it needs to be replaced as soon as possible to prevent the whole wall from being corroded for a long time. However, it will be more troublesome to change the water pipe, and the wall surface needs to be planed. Therefore, it is necessary to find the water leakage point first, and seal the water pipe joint when replacing the water pipe to prevent the new water pipe from having problems at the joint.

The faucet joint leaks.

Reason: If there is a faucet on your wall, you can carefully observe whether the faucet is broken or the joint between the faucet and the water pipe is leaking. It's easy to detect. If you can't see it directly, you can touch it with your hand to see if there are any water drops. If you didn't touch it at that time, you can also fold a piece of paper towel into a strip and wrap it around the faucet joint. 1 minute later, check whether there is water stain on the paper towel.

Solution: The solution to this problem is relatively simple, just reinstall or replace the faucet. When reassembling, you can wrap two layers of raw material tape around the joint of the faucet. Remember not to pack too much, which will reduce or loosen the part of the faucet that screws the water inlet pipe, otherwise it will easily leak.
