There's a leak upstairs. Can you make it waterproof downstairs?

No, there will be no water leakage in the location where the water leakage is repaired downstairs in the short term, but it will spread to the surrounding locations for a long time because the source of the water leakage is not handled properly, and the symptoms will not be cured. The safest way is to find the source upstairs and deal with the leak. If you deal with it downstairs, the water seepage will spread in the floor to the outside of your maintenance place, and there will always be a hole to seep down. The problem will get worse if the floor is soaked for a long time. Talk to the property owner and the upstairs residents about the reaction and solve it through consultation.

What is the reason for the water leakage downstairs?

1, the reason for the water leakage downstairs may be the poor waterproof choice of the bathroom upstairs. If there is water leakage in the waterproof layer, it is necessary to turn off the water valve at home, drain the water from the water pipe, and then plug the floor drain for water storage test. If the water level drops significantly, or the amount of leakage downstairs increases, this shows that the waterproof layer is not done well.

Of course, the water leakage downstairs may also be caused by the pipeline upstairs. You can turn off the water valve at home. If the water leakage at the leaking position is obviously reduced, it means that the water pipe is leaking.

3, you can consider installing floor drains, toilets and other places to pour water at home. If the amount of water seepage downstairs increases obviously, it means that this water pipe is leaking.

4. If the upstairs residents have not found the cause of water leakage after checking one by one, you can ask the quality inspection department of the house to identify the cause of water leakage, and then handle it after knowing the result.
