Water leakage is a common problem in many homes, which not only affects the living comfort, but also may cause damage to the structure of the house. In this article, we will introduce some simple and easy water leakage detection methods, and provide some preventive measures to help you find and solve water leakage problems in time.
A common water leakage detection methods
1. Observation method
By observing the walls, ceilings, floors and other parts of the wet, leakage and other phenomena, as well as water pipes, faucets and other equipment whether there are dripping, leakage, etc., to initially determine the cause of the leak and location.
2. Listening method
Technicians use pipeline leak detector, along the pipeline at intervals of 0.5 meters above the point, vertical pipeline parallel displacement of three points, large pipelines using the "S" shaped point, listening to pipeline leak detector point by point, through the ground sound intensity, audio detection and analysis, to accurately locate. The key lies in the different leakage points, choose different frequency bands, such as choosing the right, can improve the leakage point positioning accuracy, reduce errors. Leakage point produces leakage sound frequency and pipe network rupture size, pipe diameter, pipe material related. Usually, the leakage sound of plastic pipe is a low-frequency signal, while the leakage sound of steel pipe or cast iron pipe is a high-frequency signal. Technicians in the leakage point location, must master the leakage point where the pipe diameter, pipe and other parameters, in order to correctly select the filter band, so that the main frequency of the leakage noise can be highlighted, the purpose of which is to amplify the leakage noise signal, inhibit the interference noise signal, so that the technicians can quickly and accurately locate the leakage point location.
3. Tactile method
Touch the parts that may leak with your hands, such as walls, ceilings, floors, etc., to sense whether there is a sense of dampness or wetness, so as to determine whether there is a leak.
4. Test paper method
Sprinkle some white test paper, such as toilet paper or flour, etc., in the part of the possible water leakage, and observe whether the test paper becomes wet, so as to determine whether there is a water leakage phenomenon in the part.
Second, the measures to prevent water leakage
1. Regularly check whether the water pipes, faucets and other equipment are in good condition, and replace the damaged parts in time.
2. Regularly check whether the waterproof layer of the house is intact, if broken or aging phenomenon, timely repair or replacement.
3. Choose reliable quality materials in the decoration to ensure that the construction quality meets the standard.
4. Regularly clean the drainage pipes to avoid clogging that may lead to water leakage.
5. Regularly check whether there are signs of water leakage on the roof, windows and other parts of the house, and deal with the problem in time.
In short, housing leakage detection and prevention is an important maintenance work, timely detection and treatment of water leakage problems can effectively extend the service life of the house, improve the comfort of living. Through the simple methods and preventive measures introduced in this article, we hope to provide you with some help and inspiration when dealing with water leakage problems.
