How can you protect your bathroom in case of water damage?

A hydraulic system failure, a leaking washing machine, or a leak in the shower stall - each of us has probably experienced stress from finding leaks in the bathroom more than once. Although we do not have much influence on the consequences of this accidental event, we can prevent the causes of their occurrence. We can overcome unnecessary stress, unplanned expenses, and lengthy repairs by using an appropriate bathroom seal.

Repairing or building a new bathroom is a very demanding executive task - this room is difficult and sensitive, especially in the face of constant humidity and the vulnerability of household appliances. In the case of an unsealed surface, even routine daily operation can cause water to seep through the seams to the layers under the tile, so investing in waterproofing should be one of the most important execution points. What awaits us if we forget about it?

Dear consequences of failure
An unpleasant odor, a broken mortar structure, unsightly stains or damaged tiles are typical symptoms that should bother every apartment owner, even if he did not notice any disturbing symptoms during daily use of the bathroom. This is because the failure occurs outside of our field of vision- in embedded pipes, hidden drain hoses, or areas protected by ceramic tiles. Noticing it too late, it will cause a wave of successive damages, starting with weakening the durability of the base, leaching the binder from the joints, destroying the concrete and, eventually, even destroying the entire base, especially if it was made of gypsum, aerated concrete blocks or drywall.

Restoring a bathroom to its previous state can be time-consuming and expensive. First of all, the walls must be thoroughly washed and dried, which, if the natural method is chosen, i.e. the popular weathering, can take up to several weeks in our climate, without a guarantee of a well-conducted drying process. In this situation, you may need a professional dehumidifier that absorbs moisture from the walls and ensures the required humidity level in the room. The cost of renting the device is several hundred zlotys, and the purchase is up to several thousand. Unfortunately, it may be necessary to disassemble the cladding to dry the floor, so we leave the damage assessment to specialists.

In both cases, disinfection will be required in a flooded room to prevent further development of fungi and mold. The destruction of microorganisms can be done with the help of professional chemicals, keeping in mind proper ventilation and respiratory protection. In case of a recurring problem, it is recommended to measure humidity, because the cause of the fungus in the room may be hidden deep behind the facades.

Depending on the level of damage, we have the final stage ahead of us - proper preparation of the substrate, sealing the surfaces under the tiles, wet and humid areas, laying new tiles or replacing damaged tiles and repairing joints.

Damage to our bathroom is often just the beginning of an adventurous renovation, because it should be remembered that what is a floor for us is a ceiling for our neighbor, and often, in addition to personal damage, we also deal with flooding of a bathroom located in the same building. vertically.

As a result of the destruction of ceilings and walls in neighboring rooms, we must take into account the need to cover repair costs, which can range from several to even several thousand zlotys. Remember that even in the case of purchased insurance, the insurer first orders a check to determine the cause of the flood, and we are only entitled to a refund in the event of an accidental accident. Therefore, we will have to cover the costs of drying, chopping tiles, buying new ones, tile work, and often breaking off relations with our neighbor.

Taking into account the cost of tile repair and renovation work, as well as the purchase of new construction and finishing elements, the cost of troubleshooting can significantly exceed our expectations, as well as the household budget. Thinking from a preventive and economic point of view, the main step in repairing or building a bathroom should be its waterproofing, which will prevent water from seeping into individual layers of the floor or wall, reducing losses to zero or, on the scale of potential damage, to a minimum.

Modern, high-quality construction chemicals provide effective and permanent protection of wet rooms, even in rooms exposed to heavy water stress," emphasizes Artur Vatras, Sopro Product Manager. "First of all, it should be emphasized that this stage of implementation will not overload our budget, especially if we approach the renovation holistically, and when deciding on a thorough reconstruction should be done firmly and from scratch, using good quality materials. Only then will the changes be visible and permanent, despite daily use. - To make it even easier for the investor and the contractor to decide on the proper protection of the room from moisture, we have presented the Hydroset 282 kit, a sealing system with the necessary tools for application.
