The answer is YES!, it does need to be waterproofed. The kitchen is an area with a lot of water, and there will always be water on the ground. If it is not waterproofed, the water may flow into the wall through the gaps in the wall and cause leakage. Secondly, if the kitchen is not waterproofed, when the local drain pipe is blocked, it is easy to cause water on the ground. Water can easily leak through the cement layer. If the leakage is more serious, it will also affect the residents downstairs.
I. What are the key points of kitchen waterproof construction?
1. During the waterproof construction of the kitchen, try not to damage the original waterproof layer. If you plan to redecorate the ground, it is very easy to damage the original waterproof layer. Once it is not repaired in time, there will be leakage problems in the future. It hurts the neighbors, so when decorating the kitchen, the original waterproof layer must be protected. If it is accidentally damaged, it should be repaired in time.
2. If you plan to replace the original floor tiles in the kitchen, after chiseling out the original floor tiles, you must use cement mortar to level the ground, and then do waterproofing works, so as to avoid the problem of water leakage due to uneven application of waterproof coatings, and normally the waterproof paint or coating needs to be reapplied two to three times.
3. During the waterproof construction process, the waterproof layer around the pipes and floor drains should also be in place. The water pipes buried in the wall should be carefully laid out, and check whether the plastering of the water pipe grooves in the wall is smooth, and confirm that there is no problem. The waterproof paint is applied in the groove.
II. The strategy of kitchen waterproof
1. The waterproof treatment of the kitchen is also important, because the kitchen is equipped with floor cabinets and wall cabinets, not only should pay attention to the waterproof in the kitchen, but also prevent the water from leaking out.
2. Clean up the construction site and spray water to make it fully moist, but there should be no obvious open water.
3. The variety, brand and mix ratio of waterproof materials must comply with the relevant standards of environmental protection standards. The product has a certificate of on-site qualification, the Sinomaco two part cementitious waterproof coating or JS waterproofing coating is recommended for kitchen waterproofing.
4. Brush the basic level of the waterproof layer without unevenness, looseness, hollowing, sanding, or cracking. The moisture content is less than 10%. The ground waterproof layer of kitchens and toilets with floor drains is upturned in contact with the wall body, and is no less than 25 cm above the ground. There is no flooding or accumulation of water, and there is no leakage in the 24-hour closed water test.
5. The waterproof layer adheres firmly, without slippage, skid edge, blistering, and wrinkles. Floor drains, squatting pits, drainage outlets, etc. should be kept unblocked, and protective measures should be taken during construction.
