Pure dry goods! What are the steps for the renovation of second-hand houses?

The price of second-hand houses is not low compared with new buildings, but there are still many people who are willing to choose second-hand houses. I bought a second-hand house with many friends, and there are still many problems involved in the decoration. Here I will talk about the decoration of second-hand houses in three stages: before decoration, during decoration and after decoration.

Buying a second-hand house will probably go through a psychological process, that is, the original appearance of an old house ravaged by life will give a cold picture of a person's arrogance. My transformation of this old house has that kind of secret love and pleasing to the eye. I completely accepted all his qualities and then willingly entered his world.

Speak human words! How did the former owner make the house so low? I want to make it higher!

These steps are essential before decoration construction!

disinfect

Except for the second-hand blank houses that no one lives in, most of the second-hand houses have been occupied for a long time, and there will be many clean corners in the interior decoration, which can't be cleaned at all. If you don't want to tear it all down and reassemble it, you'd better spray disinfectant on these places. Of course, it can't be 84, so we need to use AQ in the port.

Concealed engineering inspection

"Concealed works" inspection, the so-called concealed works are the lines and pipes inside the house.

I would like to remind you that you must invite a professional plumber to come home for maintenance. This is a big event and can't be ignored! The main inspection is drainage pipes, strong and weak current lines, circuit distribution, etc. If there is something wrong with the inspection, directly replace it with a new one and re-arrange the cable.

Wall structure inspection

The best way to check the wall is to check it in rainy days. You can observe the wall in all directions in rainy days, mainly to check whether the wall is wet. If this happens, cracks are likely to appear in the inner wall, so there are also security risks in the built-in lines.

Door and window inspection

First, check whether the door and window materials are aging. Secondly, check whether there are cracks around the doors and windows and at the joints of the wall. If there is a problem, tear it down and redo it. Do not hesitate.

It should also be noted that many second-hand houses will have stainless steel hangers and even stainless steel flower racks on their balconies. Please carefully check whether the fixation is firm and aging, because it involves the life safety of others, so be sure to pay attention. If you feel insecure and old, you'd rather get rid of it.

field inspection

The service life of the wooden floor will not be too short. If the former owner is not too troublesome, there will generally be no problem, and the old wooden board is relatively environmentally friendly, so there is no need to change it. Even if a few floors are damaged, just renovate a few according to the color difference, and don't bother to replace them all. This not only saves the engineering quantity, but also saves a lot of decoration expenses!

When decorating, these places must pay more attention!

budget

Although it is a second-hand house, the decoration budget should also be designed. Water and electricity, electrical appliances, materials and labor costs should be planned well, and everything can't be decided temporarily. In that case, the decoration will not be done well.

structural design

In addition to the design style of the old house foundation, you can also adjust the style according to your own preferences. This transformation often involves the demolition of the building structure. Before this, I suggest you ask the property about the relevant wall structure, distinguish where the load-bearing wall is, and know which walls can't be demolished.

Pipeline reconstruction

Generally, the service life of second-hand houses is relatively long, and most pipes are corroded and aged. If old galvanized pipes are found in the inspection, I suggest replacing copper pipes, aluminum-plastic composite pipes or PP-R pipes if possible, because the corrosion resistance of such products will be much better than galvanized materials. Uncle here recommends PP-R tube, which is cheaper and more durable than the former.

Circuit modification

There is a common fault in the circuit of second-hand houses: simple wiring, aging wires and poor wiring materials. These traditional lines can no longer meet the needs of modern families, and should be completely transformed when decorating. I have also introduced how to arrange cables and how to allocate sockets before. You can go and see what I shared before.

Walls and ceilings

Walls and ceilings are also a big problem, especially ceilings are easily overlooked by everyone. Before overhaul, if there are obvious folds, defects and gauze on the wall surface, the wall surface must be renovated. The main process of transformation is relatively simple: the first step is to remove the dirty surface at the bottom, then repair it with cement slurry, and finally reinforce it with a layer of primer, which is both beautiful and moisture-proof.

door lock

The door lock left after the disposal of second-hand houses must not be left. The first is to prevent the original owner from keeping the key. Secondly, the old locks have simple internal structure and low security. Uncle suggested that at least all the main locks should be renewed.

equipment

The original owner will leave some furniture more or less, and some usable furniture can be recycled. For example, traditional bookshelves can be repainted into storage racks, and books and indoor decorations are good choices.

After the renovation, you should pay attention!

The main problem after renovation is acceptance, and of course there are some small details. Let's take a look at the matters needing attention:

water proofing work

Waterproof acceptance can adopt the traditional way-water injection test:

The first step is to determine which areas are waterproof;

Step 2, inject water into the waterproof area, generally around 12 cm, and mark it appropriately;

Step 3: Check whether there is water seepage after 24 hours of water injection.

If the inspection result is not much different from the mark, the waterproof project is qualified.

Line engineering

The inspection of the line is mainly to check whether the line is unblocked, and at the same time, the indoor lighting test can be turned on;

Secondly, we should also pay attention to the following matters:

Whether the line connection is firm;

Whether there is a TV cable connector, if there is a connector, it must be replaced, or a cable splitter is used at the connector;

Whether the position of the switch box is reasonable;

Whether the material of conduit is consistent with the material you choose.

Walls and ceilings

Walls and ceilings are nothing more than the acceptance of the work of the decoration master; Mainly check the following aspects:

See if the putty on the surface is dry. If it is not dried, cracks may appear.

Check whether there are small cracks on the wall, and repair them in time, otherwise the wall will be easily affected with damp;

Check whether the wall is smooth or wrinkled.

Other details

In addition to water, electricity, pipelines and other big aspects, some small details are also important:

Whether the gap size of ceramic tile or floor is uniform and whether there is obvious deviation;

Whether the socket box is installed correctly;

Check whether the interface between door and door frame is closed;

Check whether the material of the window is the same as that you bought. Secondly, check whether the windows are installed tightly. The simple way is to pour a glass of water at the end of the window to see if it leaks evenly.

There are still some differences between the steps of second-hand housing decoration and blank housing decoration. In the law of decoration, application is more important than anything else. You don't have to tie yourself to a boring decoration list. The general steps are as follows, and the basic problems are not big.
