Water leak
The problem of water leakage is one of the problems that bothers people greatly. This is due to the damage it causes to buildings and homes, so it is necessary to be careful to detect whether or not water leakage is occurring. Water leakage is defined as a defect in the water connections in its various forms, whether it is in the drainage pipes, elbows, or different parts of the water pipes, including: faucets, tanks, and heaters. The places around the leak, such as floors and walls, cause damage as a result of its interaction with building materials, corrosion of iron and corrosion of concrete, thus exacerbating problems if treatment is neglected.
Types of waterproofing
Visible Leaks: A defect that affects joints protruding or located on the outside of walls and floors and is visible to naked angles such as faucets, external joints, heaters, or upper cabinets. This type is characterized by ease of repair and discovery.
Hidden leaks: This type of leakage affects the internal connections of the water, which are often inside the walls and floors. *** Note the great difference between them and the apparent leaks due to the difficulty of detecting them, as this can only be done by relying on the results that can be observed in the place surrounding the leak. In the form of deformations, cracks, discolored spots.
Water leak detection methods
There are many ways to detect water leaks, including manual ones, and to make sure of that, we close all sources that supply the house with water from valves and faucets, while giving all members of the building not to use water at all during the time period in which the sources are closed in a step to determine and monitor the meter reading, preferably Continuation. This is the case for up to five hours, and after the period has passed, the meter reads again. Matter quickly so as not to exacerbate the problem.
Methods of preventing water leakage
It is usually recommended to obtain home insulation services, and this step is considered a way to protect the home from all damage that may be caused to it by water and heat, so it is necessary to insulate surfaces with water and thermal insulation against moisture, in addition to isolating bathrooms and walls, in addition to swimming pools to reduce floor leakage.
