First, what should I do after the house is soaked in water?
1, hydropower
After the house is soaked, check the water and electricity before moving in. Whether it is a low-rise or a high-rise building, as long as the house is soaked in water, the circuit must be checked and repaired after drying, so as to avoid safety accidents caused by short circuits and other problems. Drainage maintenance and disinfection are also needed to prevent water channels from being polluted and causing diseases.
Step 2: walls
For high-rise residential buildings, the probability of blisters is very small, and perhaps only a small amount of rainwater flows in from the cracks in doors and windows, which is more convenient for maintenance. No matter whether the wall paint or wallpaper is old or new, just scrub it and keep the room ventilated; For a house soaked in water for a long time, because the paint itself is not very waterproof, it is recommended to wait until it is dry before looking for a decoration company to repair it. After drying, repaint the same type of paint. If it is only partially soaked in water, just repair the soaked part. For the more serious basement and shops on the first floor, it is recommended to repaint them all.
Step 3: Floor
Whether it is solid wood floor or composite floor, it is not very waterproof, so if it rains, it can be aired and ventilated. However, if it is soaked in water for a long time, the solid wood will be wrinkled layer by layer, and the strengthened floor will become thicker and layered after soaking in water, so it must be replaced.
4. Floor tiles
There is no problem with a small amount of rain, but once a large area is soaked in water for a long time and the water stains are cleaned, the owner can beat it with a small hammer. If there is no large area of empty drum, there is no need for any treatment, otherwise it will be reworked.
5. Equipment
Pure solid wood: if the surface paint is well done, let the furniture dry after the water recedes, and use an electric fan to speed up the air drying. Although it may be deformed, most of it will return to normal after the water content is reduced.
Panel furniture: particleboard is generally used. As long as it does not exceed half an hour, it can be dried quickly. But if it is soaked for a long time, the board will swell beyond repair.
Custom cabinet: particleboard is generally used, which can be dried quickly within half an hour, but the board will swell beyond repair after being soaked for a long time.
Fabric sofa: The main structure is generally solid wood frame+sponge+fabric. If the sofa is soaked, just take off the sofa cover and dry the sponge and frame completely.
Note: After the house is soaked for a long time, you must pay attention to disinfection and sterilization when the water recedes, and open the window for ventilation.
Second, how long will the water in the wall last?
1, which depends on the amount of water flowing into the wall, and the season also plays a decisive role. First of all, if it is in winter, it is easy to freeze and it takes about a month to dry completely. If it is summer, the weather is fine and the water evaporates quickly, and it will be completely dry in a week or even a few days.
2. So for how long the water in the wall can work, we must first determine whether the wall is soaked or the surface is just wet. There is a big difference in drying time between them, so it can keep indoor ventilation, and then use some lime powder to absorb the moisture of the wall, which will accelerate the drying speed of the wall.
3. Although the wall seepage will not affect the overall structural safety of the house, it will directly damage the decoration effect. When it rains, the rain will seep into the room along the cracks, resulting in damp and moldy walls. Once water seepage is found, developers must be required to rectify it immediately.
All of the above are what to do after the house is soaked in water, and how long the water in the wall can last. I hope it can help you understand the treatment of soaking in water. Please continue to pay attention to more decoration knowledge, decoration company evaluation and decoration cases!
