Laying out your plumbing is very important when you’re doing home renovations, and if you don’t lay it out properly, it can lead to sweating problems with your plumbing, especially in the summer, when you’ll notice water stains bubbling up from pipes that are installed in your ceilings. Why do plumbing pipes have sweating problems? And what are the solutions?

First, why the water pipe will sweat

1, this phenomenon is more frequent in summer, and the water pipe sweating water mainly comes from the humidity of the air, the temperature is higher, the air is humid, there will be water vapor. Especially in the summer rainy season, the humidity is greater, the water vapor content is higher, it will lead to a large number of water pipe wall sweating problem, which is also a precursor to rain.

2, the summer temperature is high, but if the pipe is cool, once it is cold, it is easy to liquefy the reaction, which will leave a water column on the surface of the water pipe, and stay above the ceiling, resulting in a wet ceiling, and later it is easy to crack the phenomenon.

3, there is a kind of sweating, because the water pipe has a leakage problem, such as the pipe has a slight leakage, it will slowly form water droplets on the surface. Giving the illusion that it is as if the plumbing is sweating.

Second, how to solve the water pipe sweating

1, if you want to completely solve the problem of sweating pipes, as long as there is no leakage of water pipes, we can brush on the surface of the water pipe anti-coating, which can effectively prevent the pipe corrosion by water, rust.

2, in addition, you can also install insulation in the water pipe. First to the water pipe wrapped with a layer of insulation, such as foam to cover the insulation, or wrapped with cotton strips of water pipe, so as to effectively avoid sweating water pipe in summer. Insulation must be wrapped very dense, slightly thicker, to ensure that moisture can not enter.

3, summer if the air is relatively humid, can effectively improve the indoor humidity, such as turning on the dehumidifier, can effectively solve the problem of sweating pipes.
