Daily Home Renovation Tips每日家装修秘诀

We called in the Calvary.我们呼吁，在calvary 。 I thought I had found every area in the en suite that was not sufficiently sealed with silicone sealer that could be causing the leak but still the leak was occurring.我以为我已经找到了各个领域，在套房，这是没有足够的密封与硅封口包装机，可能会造成泄漏，但泄漏发生。 I had turned the ceiling tile 90 degrees each time I fixed what I thought was missing silicone in the bathroom shower.我曾经把上限瓷砖90度，每一次我固定什么，我以为是失踪的有机硅在浴室淋浴。

This third time again caused the same water leak stain to appear in the same place.这第三次再次造成同样的漏水染色出现在同一地方。

So, I called Bennett, the person who actually installed our kitchen cabinets, as well as who hooked up the plumbing and electrical in our remodelled kitchen.所以，我所谓的班尼特，该人究竟是谁安装了我们的厨房橱柜，以及谁迷上了水暖和电器在我们的改造厨房。 He said it was no issue to drop by and was over in a few evenings to help us with our slow yet very annoying and troublesome leak.他说，这是没有问题的下降和超过在少数几个晚上，以帮助我们与我们的慢，但非常恼人的麻烦泄漏。

Well, upon Bennett’s investigation he discovered that it was not the one pipe from which water was dripping, it was three.那么，后Bennett的调查，他发现这不是一管从哪个水是滴水，这是三。

Here’sa closeup of the two black pipes on the left.以下是近距离的两个黑色管道在左边。 Notice that you can see the water trails on the one on the right but not on the left. What you can’t see is that on the other side of the pipe on the left is also water leak trails.请注意，您可以看到水步道对一个在右边，而不是在左边。什么你不能看到的是，在另一边的管道就在左边，也是漏水的路径。 And, a third one to the left of that one (not shown in the picture was also leaking; not as much, but enough to stain the inside of it’s ceiling tile.和，第三个1到左边的一个（未显示在图片中还漏水;不是很多，但足够的染色内，它的上限瓷砖。

All three of these pipes, the two black ones in the picture above an a third to the immediate left covered by the ceiling tile were all underneath the en suite shower stall.所有三个这些管道，两个黑色的，在图片上方的三分之一，立即离开所涵盖的上限，瓷砖，都是下套房淋浴档。 So, something had to be unsealed.因此，一些已被拆开。

Bennett proceeded to go upstairs and discovered that in fact I had not found all of the unsealed areas in the shower stall where the grout was not properly finished.班尼特接着去楼上发现，事实上，我没有发现所有的启封地区在淋浴档所在灌浆未有妥善完成。 Underneath the shower door was a flat piece of marble.下淋浴门被一个单位，一块大理石。 Underneath it is a section of verticle shower tile.底下的，这是一段立式淋浴瓦。 Unfortunately, the grout that should have sealed the top part of the vertical shower tile to the underside of the marble was not sufficient, leaving a large space.不幸的是，灌浆应密封，顶端部分的垂直淋浴瓷砖，以底大理石是不够的，留下一个大空间。

When we take our showers, we use a squeegee to remove the condensation and water from the glass shower wall, including the glass shower door.当我们考虑我们的骤雨中，我们使用一刮，以消除冷凝水从玻璃淋浴墙，包括玻璃淋浴门。 And, yes, when we do that, all of the condensation and water goes onto the marble top and, likely, running underneath to the space between the marble top and the vertical tile.和，是的，当我们做到这一点，所有的冷凝水和云上的大理石顶端，并有可能，跑下，以之间的空间大理石的顶部和垂直瓦。

So, that is my next task.所以，这就是我的下一个任务。 I have to run up to the store to get more silicone caulking as well as a cleaning solvent.我已运行到商店，以获得更多的有机硅嵌缝以及作为清洗溶剂。 Why the cleaning solvent?为什么清洁溶剂？ Well, we have been using the shower for about 5 or 6 months now causing the build-up of soap scum and minerals from the water onto the tile, even with the frequent cleaning.以及，我们一直使用的淋浴间约5或6个月，现在造成累积肥皂败类和矿物质从水到瓷砖，即使再加上频繁的清洗。 And, Bennett also suggested that I use a little sand paper on the grout to roughen it up allowing the subsequent application of the silicone caulking to have something to grab on to.和，班尼特还建议我使用小砂文件，就灌浆，以roughen起来，让以后的应用硅嵌缝有一些抓斗上。

It sounds like a plan.它听起来就像一个计划。 When we return to our series on our basement ceiling leak we will see if this approach works, or if we still have more work to do.当我们返回到我们的一系列对我们的地下室上限泄漏我们将看到如果这个方法工程，或如果我们仍然有更多的工作要做。 To continue to the next article in this series, simply select this link to继续下一步的文章，在这一系列，只需选择此链接 Part 5第5部分 . 。
