The phenomenon of water seepage, mold or yellowing often originates from areas with water seepage that have not been completely treated in the house. Proactive inspection and timely handling will help housewives promptly fix problems and protect the house structure more durablely.
Wall edge behind the device
The area where the washing machine and dryer are placed will be the place to be affected by high humidity and strong vibration when the devices operate. Over time, this area will make the plaster layer on the edge of the wall easily cracked and peeled off, creating conditions for wastewater and rainwater to see through to other places.
Housewives should regularly check the area where the washing machine and dryer are placed at the foot of the wall and patch the cracks with specialized waterproofing glue, and at the same time need to raise the washing machine and dryer legs to reduce vibration as well as water and mold absorption here.
Roof floor around the water-collecting funnel
The roof floor area around the water intake bucket or drainage pipe column is the place where the largest water flow is concentrated in the family. The waterproofing layer in this area after many years of use is very easily exposed, causing rainwater to leak directly into the concrete core.
Accordingly, housewives need to clean up the garbage clinging around the floor drain bucket, and depending on the assessment situation, they can gently chisel the old plaster layer around the pipe neck and pour in new plaster to completely seal the gaps.
Ornamental plant garden
Daily watering combined with the accumulation of moist soil in ornamental plant pots is the reason why the rooftop floor surface is always wet. Roots grow deep or moving heavy plant pots easily causes cracks in the waterproofing film under the floor.
Housewives should place all potted plants high, at least 10cm above the floor, and at the same time clean up the residual soil and sand, which will help keep the floor clean and dry.
Foundation wall bordering the floor
The boundary between the base of the railing wall and the concrete floor is a position with uneven heat elasticity, which easily creates vertical tears. Therefore, rainwater accumulating on the floor will quickly absorb water through this tear and spread to the outer walls of the house.
To handle the above situation, housewives should lift the waterproof film layer up to the base of the wall at least 20cm instead of just covering the floor surface.
