Leaking water pipes in your home can be a very annoying thing, not only does it cause a waste of water, but it can also cause damage to your home's property. So, what are the reasons for water pipe leakage? Here we come to understand.
1, unqualified raw materials is an important reason for water pipe leakage. If the quality of the water pipe used is not up to standard, it is prone to aging, corrosion and other problems, resulting in water pipe leakage. Therefore, it is very important to choose high-quality water pipes in the decoration.
2, unreasonable planning and design is also a common cause of water pipe leakage. For example, the pipeline through the floor, the building foundation of the size of the reserved hole and plug hole design does not meet the requirements, will lead to pipe displacement and bursting, which in turn triggered water leakage. Therefore, in the design and construction need to fully consider various factors to ensure that the pipeline installation is reasonable.
3, water pipe aging, corrosion is also an important cause of water pipe leakage. With the passage of time, the water pipe will gradually aging, by the soil acid and alkali components, bacteria corrosion and the role of impurities in the water, the characteristics of the water pipe material will also change, resulting in water leakage phenomenon. Therefore, regular inspection and replacement of water pipes is very necessary.
5, temperature change is also an important factor leading to water pipe leakage. Seasonal temperature difference will make all parts of the water pipe expansion and deformation is not consistent, which leads to water pipe leakage. In the northern region, especially in the northeast, the huge temperature difference will lead to leakage of water pipe joints or other weak leakage loss. Therefore, in the installation of water pipes need to fully consider the impact of temperature differences, take appropriate measures.
6, adverse geological conditions may also lead to water pipe leakage. Such as earthquakes, uneven soil settlement, soil landslides and landslides and other factors, may cause deformation and damage to water pipes. Therefore, in the design and construction need to fully consider the impact of geological conditions, and take appropriate protective measures.
There are many reasons for water pipe leakage, but as long as we pay attention to the selection of raw materials, reasonable design and construction, regular inspection and replacement of water pipes, and consider the temperature difference and geological conditions and other factors, we can effectively prevent the occurrence of water pipe leakage.
How to find out the leakage point
Using a pipe leakage detector can effectively find out the leakage point of pipes
Generally speaking, the basic detection method is to connect the pipeline leak detector good host, headphones, sensors. Turn on the pipeline leak detector switch, wear a good headset, in the pipeline above the road surface placed pipeline leak detector sensor, according to the pace of the length of a step by step placement, step by step listening, the closer the leak, the stronger the signal, the farther away from the leak, the weaker the signal, through the comparison of the signal between the different points of the strength of the leakage to achieve the purpose of detecting leaks. Therefore, we use pipeline leak detector, single in a point listening to the leakage signal is meaningless, to be more than one point repeatedly compared, compared to which the sound vibration of the larger place is the leakage point, of course, we also need to consider a lot of other additional factors, such as leakage point of the direction of the broken mouth, because the pipe is round, if the side of the leakage, may be larger instead of in the pipeline above the pavement on the side of the pipeline, rather than the pipeline above the pavement, so for the pipeline above the pipe. Pipeline above the road, so for the location of the pipeline to be clear, in addition to the tee, bends, water pressure, depth of burial, buried layer and so on will have an impact on the detection of these to be taken into account.
