Bathroom waterproof water test time

The closed water test for bathroom waterproofing needs to be carried out after the coating of the waterproof layer is completely dry. The closed water test usually takes 24 to 48 hours. In addition, you need to cooperate with the neighbors downstairs to check whether there is any leakage during the closed water test. If there is no leakage, it is qualified. When conducting the closed water test, the pipes and floor drains must be blocked and sealed to ensure that water does not seep in from the pipes or floor drains. The door should also be piled up with cement or putty powder to prevent water from flowing out of the door.

Can structural adhesive be used to waterproof the bathroom?

1. Structural adhesive cannot be used as a waterproof material for the bathroom because this type of adhesive is used for rigid construction and has no waterproof function.

2. Moreover, this glue is greatly affected by temperature differences and is prone to thermal expansion and contraction, so it cannot be used for bathroom waterproofing.

3. However, due to its very strong viscosity, it is often used for glass pasting and its usage is relatively simple.

How to waterproof the bathroom without breaking bricks

1. Clean the bathroom first, and clean all the corners and gaps.

2. Wait until it is dry before carrying out waterproofing construction. If there are obvious cracks, they need to be repaired with cement mortar.

3. Then cover the floor drain with plastic film, pour the professional bathroom sealant onto the ground, push it around with a wooden board, wipe off the excess sealant after half an hour, and finally maintain it for 24 hours.
