Water seepage of kitchen cabinets erodes the cabinets. If these problems occur, it is likely to involve many aspects. For example, the design of cabinets, the arrangement of pipes, the material of countertops, environmental factors and so on.
The installation of kitchen sink is generally divided into installation on the stage, installation in the stage and installation under the stage.
Each installation method is different, but one thing is the same. That is, glue is required for installation. Unless you are welded with stainless steel countertop.
A large part of the reason for cabinet water seepage is that there is a gap at the edge of the sink and it is not sealed. So that the water flows into the gap. Over time, it will erode the cabinet, mildew and so on. Serious sinks can fall directly to the ground.
Therefore, the general solution is to apply glue, glass glue, silica gel, AB glue, etc. The main function is to prevent seepage and water leakage, and also play a certain role in stabilizing the water tank. But now the glue has a service life, which is easy to age and fall off. Therefore, after the leakage is found, it indicates that it is necessary to apply glue and seal the edge again.
The bottom of the sink is wet and the table surface is condensed. A customer asked me this question. There is a lot of condensation on the back of the table. The sink is very wet. I dare not put anything in the cabinet. The mildew is serious. The anti condensation coating on the table top must keep the water tank dry and ventilated, especially the smooth drainage and sealing of the sewer pipe. The sink is in contact with water, which can easily make the surrounding environment moist. If the climate and environment also have an impact, such as the large temperature difference between day and night or when you go back to the south, you should pay more attention to maintaining the ventilation of the kitchen during the day and closing the windows at night. This is also to prevent further deterioration of the kitchen cabinet environment.
The water pipe under the kitchen sink occurs leaks sometimes.
The leakage of sewer pipe is generally caused by pipe rupture or interface leakage. If there is water leakage in the downpipe, first observe where the water leakage is. When installing the lower head, there will be matching washers inside and on the back of the drain hole of the sink. Generally, the washers in the sink are thinner. On the back of the drain hole of the sink is a thick washer. Both washers are fixed by the upper and lower combined lower head. If there is water leakage here, check whether the two gaskets are well padded, whether the gaskets are reversed and damaged.
If the joint of the pipe leaks, you need to use a roll of white raw material belt. Because the downpipe is made of PVC, it will have a reaction of thermal expansion and cold contraction to the discharge of cold and hot water. Therefore, wrap several circles of raw material belt at all interfaces to ensure the stability and tightness of the sewer interface.
There are two reasons for the odor of the sewer pipe. The first is that the sewer pipe has no trap to isolate the odor.
The other is that the draft port of the downcomer is not well connected with the pipe. In this position, it is best to use an anti odor plug of the downpipe to connect the downpipe with the pipe. It’s easy to disassemble, maintain and clean later.
