How to deal with the problem of \"explosions\" in basements
Thread Content
Everyone is familiar with blasting in basements, right? Common causes include: 1. The switch knob is not positioned correctly; the knob does not turn enough, or it has turned 90 degrees but still isn’t fully closed, resulting in air leakage or air entering the carbon removal port. 2. The grinding between the plug core and the housing is poor, resulting in air leakage even when fully closed. 3. The set screw securing the switching cock is too loose, causing air leakage. 4. Air leakage from the horizontal and vertical pipes in the basement. 5. Leakage in the brick gas duct. Although I know these are the possible reasons (and they may not be all of them; I hope everyone can add more), hearing the sound of explosions doesn’t allow me to determine which cause it is; I don’t know where to start in dealing with it Let’s all come and discuss it.
First, wash the door and clean the exchange valve; if that doesn’t work, then spray and repair the brick gas duct
When changing direction, one can find the location where blasting is needed in the basement; only by locating that spot can one determine the appropriate method of handling it. It’s easy to handle this situation: blast the door to clean it, and for the plug, blast it as well, apply some butter inside the plug cover and tighten it, and then the noise will stop.
It is recommended to find a point where popping occurs at different times, in order to determine the location of such popping. Whether it is a single specific location where only popping takes place can be ascertained only by checking that spot; if the location is uncertain, then the only option is to check the washing and switching valves
Grouting the brick gas duct can solve the problem
