Bathroom leakage causes:

Concealed Leakage:

Due to the continuous flow of the water, there may be a chance of slight leakage in pipes installed inside bathroom walls, because over time they may get decrepit. It causes the accumulation of water inside walls creating voids and damaging the building structure and with time it also starts appearing on walls surface and eventually cause bathroom leakage problem.

Clogs

Hair, dirt, small waste object and mineral buildup cause the formation of clogs in bathroom pipes. Over time they form a blockage in pipes creating resistance for flowing water. If they have not been removed or treated for a long period, they will put extra stress on pipes cause them to burst or crack.

Water pressure

It is also a major cause of washroom water leakage. Not all pipes are built to withstand high water pressure. Too much water pressure for a long period makes the water pipes fragile vulnerable and it results in water leakage. Recommended water pressure for home pipes is 50-60Psi, anything above 80psi will damage your bathroom water pipes over the long run.

Flushing

Water is stored in the large flush tank, when we press the button, it will generate extra pressure on the pipes because all of the water has to pass through the small opening and it will cause the formation of cracks in pipes and breakage if they are already exhausted. This problem is usually common in the apartment having a bathroom in a vertical line. As pipes are commonly concealed so they will show up gradually, at the start there will be water seepage and over time it will convert into bathroom water leakage if not fixed on time.

Rusted Pipes:

Rusting causes leakage and breakage of water pipes. It is a significant elemental of bathroom leakage problem. There are many causes of rusting such as;

Low PH:

If the pH of your waterfalls below 8, the layer inside your copper pipes will disappear, exposing your pipes. As a result, corrosion takes place and it gives rise to bathroom leakage problems.

Oxygen level:

A high level of oxygen in water can cause internal degradation of metal through the process of internal oxidation. Normal water has a dissolved oxygen concentration of 6.5-8 mg/L and is between 80-120%. So, a level of oxygen beyond the normal level will cause corrosion and rusting of water pipes which will create the problem of bathroom leakage.

Water turbulence

Sharp turn, joints, and blockage in water pipes create water turbulence, as a result, water velocity rises. This leads to corrosion and leakage of water pipes.

How to identify bathroom leakage:

Check your water meter:

Checking your water meter is one of the easiest ways to see if you leak your plumbing. First of all turn off the all water taps in your house. Make sure all faucets are turned off and the dishwasher and washing machine aren’t going. Next, keep an eye on the meter to see if it starts to adjust. If it does, you’re probably dealing with the water leak. Pause for two hours and check the meter again if it doesn’t move right away. If it has altered after turning off all the water, you can have a slower leak. After the meter, the leak could be anywhere, even underneath.

Monitor your bills:

If your water bills are rising from the month and your water usage is the same, then a hidden water leakage is the cause of increased billing.

Add food color:

Add a small amount of food coloring to your plastic bin and watch for 10 minutes to see if there are any leaks. If the color appears in your bowl, you have a leak that allows water to pass from the tank to the drain without being flushed.

What is the solution to bathroom leakage?

Our services:

Cementitious waterproofing

Cement is used in this process to create a sturdy water-resistant layer. To make a stronger, more stable foundation, the cement is blended with an acrylic additive, then added in a thick layer and allowed to dry and stiffen.

Elastomeric waterproofing coating

A unique rubbery liquid is used in elastomeric waterproofing. It transforms into a small rubber waterproof surface after a couple of coats. This sheet can be expanded. When used as outdoor waterproofing, this is vital because it can elongate up to 280 percent in direct sunlight. The liquid may be applied by rolling, troweling, or spraying.

Bituminous waterproofing coating

This black substance is normally added to the surface. It is not ideal for sunlight exposure because it contains bitumen-based compounds, which become brittle when exposed to heat.

Bituminous waterproofing membrane

This type of waterproofing is applied to a surface in the form of a layer that is stretched out. Because of its effectiveness, it is best suited for low-sloped surfaces. There are two forms of membrane waterproofing: torch-on and self-adhesive. Self-adhesive membranes adhere to the surface when torch-on membranes are added with a blow torch and burned as they are rolled out. Self-adhesive models, on the other hand, have a shorter life because they wear out over time.

Polyurethane liquid membrane

It’s the most basic form of liquid waterproofing, and since it can withstand exposure to the elements, it’s classified as both an exposed and covered system. It’s also very adaptable, which means it can stretch without breaking. Polyurethane is moisture sensitive. Before installation, the surface must be accurately leveled so that to ensure its durability.

Installation method:

Clean the surface:

The first and basic step is to clean the bathroom surface thoroughly. It is important the dry the wet surface because the waterproofing material may not work best on the wet surface or it will cause the leakage of water again in near future. The other washroom material should also move outside the bathroom while the installation process to avoid any hurdle.

Gaps filling:

It is important to fill the tiny little holes on surfaces with waterproofing chemicals. If we don’t do it properly then waterproofing chemicals will not completely adhere to the surface and become flimsy. Since this phase includes the use of chemicals so it’s essential to take preventive measures i.e to wear gloves, mask, and plastic boots. This procedure is similar to filling gaps of painting walls, however, in the waterproofing process, we don’t use plaster rather we apply a waterproofing sealant solution because it is more pertinent.

Waterproofing products:

This the main step of this procedure. As indicated from the title in this part we will the waterproofing products such as Cementitious waterproofing, Elastomeric waterproofing coating, Bituminous waterproofing coating, etc.

The idea is to add a single coat of the material across the surface, and also a 1-meter radius around the walls starting from the foundation, so that water coming down from the walls does not damage the floor.

Waterproofing membrane:

Different quality types of waterproofing membranes are available in markets. The most common membrane that is used for bathroom leakage repair is Bituminous waterproofing membrane, Polyurethane liquid membrane. These membranes are sandwiched between two layers of coating material. The membranes are exceptionally good water resistors and their job is to enhance the strength of the material. The membrane is placed in a parallel manner, which assists in the proper management of the membrane and minimizes wastage to the greatest extent possible. This procedure can involve the use of adhesive or a sealing agent to bind the membrane to the bathroom ground’s foundation.

Covering of entire floor:

Once the membrane is in place, the waterproofing support material is used to fill all across the membrane, ensuring that the waterproofing chemical is spread evenly throughout the bathroom. Following the completion of this procedure, the whole bathroom floor will be converted to chemical waterproof flooring.

Final coating:

The final coat of chemical is applied to the membrane with help of a paintbrush or roller to make the membrane more durable and consistent. The membrane is now in between two layers of waterproofing chemical to make it an ideal water resistor.

Disadvantages of bathroom leakage:

A small leakage problem can quickly escalate into a major issue, failing. People don’t often see the leakage issue, or they don’t want to see the leakage problem. Few people realize how a minor leakage problem can quickly escalate into a major issue with numerous consequences. When a pipe bursts, it causes plenty of problems both inside and out. Mostly, pipes get damaged and rusted, causing damage to the floor. If the floor is made up of tiles, this can also cause damage to the tiles.

Building destruction:

The water leakage from the pipes buried inside the walls may prove fatal for building integrity. It will diffuse slowly toward the outside and also kills the building aesthetics by damaging the paints creating holes and streaks marks on the wall. It is important to solve this problem when it’s showing initial signs of seepage because if left untreated for a long time it can enfeeble the internal structure of the building especially supporting beams. It could be the cause of the unfortunate event of building collision, and you would suffer financial and health loss.

Water wastage:

Water wastage is the most significant downside of washroom leakage; we should all understand the value of water, how vital it is to our survival, and how we should save it by not wasting it. Since water is one of the most important substances on the planet, we should value it and conserve it.

Mold and fungal growth:

Mold and spore defiantly not only hazardous for building structures but also are dangerous and threatening for human health. They are very abundant in nature and present almost everywhere, It is very difficult to circumvent them even in the newly constructed house.They remain dormant in hot environment for a long time without causing any problem.

But when they come in contact with water, they can cause problems because it triggers their production and spore reproduce rapidly and it also escalates the growth of unhealthy and harmful molds and they begin to pollute the air.

Some people are allergic to mold exposure and they can develop symptoms like nasal congestion, difficulty breathing, coughing, and sneezing fits. Slowly they might other diseases and the situation would become worse if you already have any of these diseases, they will worsen the symptoms.

Lowers property value:

Water leakage lowers your home’s worth. This is because, even though you think you’ve solved the issue, residual effects can still exist. If you plan to sell your home in the future, this could hurt your negotiating power and lower the final sale price. Water leaks should be repaired as soon as possible to avoid more damage and to preserve the integrity of your house..
