Reporter Ko Zhenzhong/Interviewed report
Leaking water from the house is a nightmare for many homeowners. The dripping water from the ceiling and the seepage from the corners are quite annoying. Moreover, the quality of waterproofing companies in Taiwan is inconsistent, so if you choose the wrong company to handle the leak or waterproofing work, you might end up facing the same problem again. To this end, a waterproofing company has analyzed that there are two types of water leakage, and each has different solutions.
This website previously stated:Want to catch the leak! Distinguish between indoor leaks and outdoor leaks, then use the appropriate remedy.According to the report, the causes of water leakage can be divided into indoor and outdoor types. Indoor water leakage can be further classified into ceiling leakage (for non-top-floor residents) and ceiling leakage (for top-floor residents), among other types. There are many reasons for this.
If a resident living on the top floor has a roof leak issue that is not related to their own plumbing, it is usually due to the pipes of the upstairs residents. This requires coordination to resolve the issue. If it occurs on the top floor, it may require inspection of the pipes and the water tower to check for water leakage, or the waterproofing around the water outlet and the rain gutter.

Regarding the numerous water leakage problems, Dai Xin Waterproof Co., Ltd. has comprehensively categorized them into "positive water pressure" and "negative water pressure." In this category, positive water pressure refers to areas where the house directly contacts water, such as the bathroom floor and the walls that directly contact water. This is considered positive water pressure.
While "negative water pressure" refers to the backwater area of a building, that is, the area that does not come into direct contact with water. Unlike positive water pressure, negative water pressure does not come into contact with water; for example, if a resident on a certain floor leaks water, the ceiling in that particular floor is considered to have negative water pressure.
On the 16th, Da Xin Waterproofing Company explained that in general, waterproofing works performed in areas with positive water pressure are more effective; however, the results in areas with negative water pressure are not as ideal. In other words, if there is water leakage in your home’s bathroom, kitchen, etc., it is more effective to handle the problem yourself; however, if the water leakage occurs in the roof of a neighboring unit, then repairing the roof from the upstairs unit is more effective. If the water leakage is really serious, communication and negotiation are still necessary to resolve the issue.
