How do I use Waterstop

The use of waterstop

1. Before construction, the rubber waterstop or PVC waterstop should be placed on the construction site to naturally flatter and avoid damage and deformation.
2. In the face of corners, deformation and joints, the waterstop should be cut according to the rules and bent at the corner to achieve the effect of close connection.
3. During construction, it is necessary to ensure that the waterstop is sealed with the building foundation, wall, ground and other structures, and it is especially necessary to pay attention to the bonding effect between the waterstop and the wall. Special waterproof adhesives can be used to enhance the bonding effect.
4. When installing the waterstop, it is necessary to avoid leakage and ensure that it has a good sealing effect.

Common problems and solutions

1. Aging of waterstop

After long-term use, there may be aging. If this happens, the aging part needs to be cut off and replaced with a new waterstop.

2. Waterstop embedment and reinforcement

In the construction, it is necessary to bury the waterstop in the foundation, wall and other structures to achieve the reinforcement effect. However, if the embedded position is not correct, there may be water leakage. When embedding the waterstop, it is necessary to carefully check whether its position and Angle are correct to avoid water leakage.

3. Treatment of waterstop and wall

When using the waterstop, facing the wall joint, it needs to be sealed with the building foundation, wall, ground and other structures, especially the bonding effect between the waterstop and the wall. If not bonded well, leakage will also occur. The solution is to use special waterproof adhesive to enhance the bonding effect and ensure that it has a good sealing effect.

4. Construction temperature

The construction environment temperature cannot be lower than 5℃. Construction at a temperature lower than this will affect the adhesion of the waterstop.

5. Water stop belt purchase

Choose a waterstop with reliable quality. The waterstop with poor quality cannot achieve the expected waterproof effect.

6. Sun exposure and soaking

Avoid strong direct sunlight and long-term immersion in water, which is easy to affect the service life of the waterstop.

7. Install tightly

During construction, it is necessary to ensure that the waterstop is closely fitted with the surrounding environment, and there should be no warping or wavy shape.

8. Waterproof paint

In the construction of the waterstop, it is necessary to avoid applying too much waterproof material to avoid falling off or splitting.
