I. Causes
1. Pipe aging: when the inner line pipe is used for a long time, the pipe may be corroded, worn or cracked due to aging, which may lead to water leakage.
2. Improper installation or connection: If the inner kitchen line pipe is not properly connected or sealed during installation, such as loose fasteners, joints not properly secured or damaged sealing gaskets, water leakage may occur.
3. High water pressure or water hammer: If the water pressure in the kitchen water supply system is too high or there is water hammer (shock waves caused by suddenly turning off the faucet), the connections within the pipes may loosen or break, resulting in a leak.
4. Freezing and Expansion: During the cold season, wiring and pipes within the kitchen that are not properly insulated or exposed to low temperatures may be subject to freezing and expansion, which can cause pipes to rupture and leak.
5. Clogs and blockages: Clogs or blockages inside the kitchen line may cause increased water pressure, leading to pipe ruptures or loose connections, and ultimately to water leaks.
6. External damage: External factors such as accidental impact during construction, earthquakes or pressure from other objects may damage the internal kitchen piping and lead to water leakage.
Second, the solution
1. Find the leakage point: Use the pipe leakage meter to find the leakage point. Please adjust the measurement parameters of the pipe leak detector according to different measurement environments (volume and gain), the sound of water leakage is definitely different from other noises, there are similar to bared, water tumbling sound, water droplets bursting sound, etc., how to identify leakage from the many noises in the sound of the leakage is the key to leakage detection, in order to master these need to have a long time of practical experience, a point to listen to the time can not be too long, generally about 10 seconds! Pipeline leak detector through different points to compare the different sounds and signals, the strongest signal, the loudest point is directly above the leak.
2. Repair the leakage point: Once the leakage point is found, repair it in time. Repair need to open the tiles of the leakage point, and then clean up the cement mortar inside, and then refill the cement mortar around the solid. You can use cement mortar to fill or use other waterproof gel for repair.
3. Waterproofing treatment: After the repair is completed, waterproofing treatment is needed to prevent water leakage again. You can paint waterproof coating on the tile surface or use waterproof membrane for waterproof treatment.
4. Routine maintenance: In order to avoid the water leakage in the wall again, you need to carry out regular maintenance and inspection. You can regularly check the walls for moisture, leakage and other conditions, and take timely measures to deal with. Also pay attention to the rational use of kitchen equipment, to avoid excessive water pressure or vibration on the wall pipe damage.
In short, to solve the water leakage in the wall pipes need to find the right cause, timely repair and waterproof treatment. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the routine maintenance and inspection, in order to avoid recurrence of water leakage problems.
