Recently, in the rainy season, there are heavy to heavy rains and heavy precipitation in many places across the country, which is stuffy and hot, not only people feel sticky and moldy, but also the house will encounter a water leakage test.

After all, he lived in the same community as Wang Sicong, the son of the former richest man Wang Jianlin, and netizens were amazed: Tens of millions of mansions also leaked, and they suddenly became psychologically balanced.

The most eye-catching thing is the shoe wall at the edge of the living room, which is full of limited edition sneakers, the lowest is 7,000 yuan, and the most expensive pair is 100,000 yuan, which may add up to seven figures. No wonder some people complained: one wall can buy a suite in Shanghai, poverty limits my imagination.

Water leakage on the top floor and how to repair it
Water leakage on the top floor seems to be a common problem. Whether it is an ordinary house or a luxury house, it may face such troubles.
Guangdong netizen @晓茹: It has been raining continuously in my house, the walls are moldy, and mushrooms grow on the wooden boards. The balcony even had a large area of the ceiling falling off.
Rainwater infiltration, aging of the waterproof layer, construction quality problems, etc., can all lead to the cause of water leakage. There are two ways to be waterproof:
1. Repair on the surface of the water: complete renovation, long-term plan
Flip through the entire roof to find the exact leak, which may not directly correspond to the location of the leak in your home. Putting on a new waterproofing layer is like putting a new raincoat on the roof and reinforcing the structure of the roof.
Although this method is time-consuming, laborious and costly, the effect is very good, and it can fundamentally solve the problem of water leakage and avoid the trouble of repeated repair.
2. Backwater repair: rapid emergency response, short-term effectiveness
Sometimes, when a water leak strikes suddenly, and you don't want to make a big deal to fix it, you can try to "patch". Let the master inject waterproof glue into the leaking place, and the concrete will become dense, and the water will not be able to enter. It's a quick and inexpensive way to solve a problem.
Also, make a small slope in places that are prone to water accumulation, such as the corners of the roof, so that the water can flow down and no longer seep down.
Either way, it is advisable to:
(1) Regular inspection: the waterproofing condition of the roof, especially before and after the rainy season.
(2) Professional construction: find a professional construction team, don't be greedy for cheap do-it-yourself or find an unprofessional master. Otherwise, you will have to spend a lot of money to redo it in the end.
Take this opportunity to popularize the decoration waterproofing: the bathroom is the top priority of the waterproof project, the waterproof coating should fully cover the ground, and the wall of the shower area needs to be more than 1.8 meters or even full of walls to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
In addition, the perimeter of the windows and the kitchen should also be waterproofed as appropriate. After the waterproofing project is completed, it is necessary to carry out a closed water test to verify the effect.

Is the penthouse worth buying?
The long-term social consensus is that there are three major drawbacks on the top floor:
1. Water leakage
Water leakage is indeed a hidden danger, as mentioned in Part 2, do not only do ordinary waterproofing, add grouting to the shelf, seal the thin concrete place.
2. The problem of cold winter
The roof of the newly built residential building has an insulation layer, and the thermal insulation effect is not bad. In winter, the sun is long, the house is full of sunlight, and now it is all underfloor heating, the heating is supplied from the top down, and the heating on the top floor is the hottest.
3. Summer heat
As for the summer heat, no matter which floor you live on, you have to turn on the air conditioner in the summer, which is not a problem at all, and setting a constant cooling temperature will not add much additional power consumption.
Even in the old community, the top floor has always been a popular choice in the real estate market because of its unique location and view, and is favored by young people. There are so many advantages to the top floor compared to the disadvantages:
1. Quiet
Living on the top floor does not have to worry about being disturbed by the upstairs neighbors, the feeling of no one jumping on the head is really not too fragrant, and a good sleep can be a good body.
2. Good lighting and good vision
If you don't turn on the lights, the room is still quite bright, and there are not many shelters in front and back of the house, so you can sit at home and watch the mountain sunset.
3. Good ventilation effect
At home, all windows are open, and the wind is really strong, which helps to reduce indoor humidity and inhibit the growth of bacteria, which is very good for the health of the family.
4. The price is economical
Thanks to prejudice, usually the price of the top floor will be slightly lower than that of other floors, and the price of the top floor of the same building is 1000 cheaper per square meter, so more than 100 square meters will save more than 100,000 yuan.
Netizen @ Artichoke's home: My first suite is the 1st floor, the old house is not well isolated, the house is wet everywhere, mold is everywhere, I have allergic rhinitis after living for 5 years, and I changed the house decisively.
I didn't listen to the persuasion to buy the top floor, and after moving in, I found that the experience was too good.
There are still business opportunities and potential on the top floor that cannot be ignored. For investors, there is a lot of space for the renovation of the top floor, whether it is transformed into a homestay, a studio, or a private garden, there are infinite possibilities. For owner-occupiers, the quietness and privacy of the top floor is also incomparable to other floors.
The top floor is like a double-edged sword, which may bring unlimited scenery and business opportunities, but also bring troubles such as water leakage. Whether it is a luxury house or an ordinary residence, choosing the top floor requires more wisdom and courage.
