We are all familiar with the water leakage/seepage issues from the terrace or from the outside walls but a commonly ignore one is the one from the bathroom. By learning about the reasons for leakage, it is possible to get it rectified by using the perfect waterproofing bathroom leakage solutions from experts like us. Let us delve a bit deeper into understanding this complex leakage problem that troubles homeowners at some point or other.
If you are living in a building or in an apartment complex, there is a possibility of your neighbours’ bathroom leaking into your home. A faulty water supply line, drainage channel or a leaky bathroom tap could be the reason for the bathroom leakage and this would need to be sorted out from the neighbour’s home. The bathroom or toilet tiles will have to be changed to make sure that the water does not seep through broken tiles. However before fixing the tiles, the flooring needs to be coated with waterproofing chemicals so that the home owner is assured of a completely leakage-free home for the coming years.
How is waterproofing done in bathrooms?
• Old tiles are removed and the flooring is evened up and prepared for waterproofing.
• The first coat of waterproofing chemical is evenly applied on the floor surface and the wall joints. It is also sprayed at times to achieve overall consistency.
• There is a curing time of 3 hours before the second and final coat is applied. However it is important to note that if one coat is applied horizontally then the next application has to be vertically applied to ensure every nook is taken care of.
Bathroom leakage also occurs when the quality of pipes used is inferior and rusting takes place which leads to water leakage. Also missing out on putting a good quality trap in the bathroom can lead to leakages and unnecessary expenses which could have been easily avoided.
