Bulging walls are a problem that many families will encounter, but is it caused by water leakage or resurgence of moisture? First of all, we need to understand the characteristics and causes of these two conditions.
Water leakage is when water enters the wall through cracks, joints, etc., and accumulates inside the wall. Usually, water leakage will cause dampness, mold, blistering, discoloration and other phenomena on the wall, and in severe cases, it will also cause peeling and peeling. Water leaks are often related to factors such as the quality of the house's construction, aging water pipes, or failed seals at joints.
Moisture regeneration refers to the condensate formed due to the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor due to the water vapor left after the evaporation of water on the surface of the wall. Resurgence usually occurs at the turn of the seasons, such as the turn of spring and summer, autumn and winter, when the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is large, and the moisture in the air is easy to form water vapor on the wall. Moisture return will cause white or black mildew, peeling, peeling and other phenomena on the wall, which will affect the aesthetics of the interior and the comfort of living.
For the phenomenon of wall bulging, we can judge whether it is water leakage or moisture return according to the following characteristics:
1.Bulges caused by water leakage are usually accompanied by dampness and mildew, while bulges caused by resurgence usually occur at the turn of the season and are accompanied by white or black mold.
2.Bulging caused by water leakage is usually related to factors such as the construction quality of the house or the aging of the water pipes, while bulging caused by moisture return is usually related to the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor.
3.The bulge caused by water leakage can be treated by repairing the leakage point and taking drainage measures, while the bulging caused by moisture return needs to be treated by strengthening ventilation and increasing indoor temperature.
In summary, wall bulging can be caused by water leakage or moisture return. In order to accurately judge and take corresponding treatment measures, we need to understand the characteristics and causes of bulging and deal with them according to the actual situation.
