How to evaluate the mud and wood acceptance? Comprehensive analysis of acceptance criteria and precautions
In the decoration process, the mud and wood work is a basic and critical link, and its quality directly affects subsequent construction and living experience. How to scientifically evaluate the mud wood acceptance results? This article combines popular discussions and industry standards across the Internet in the past 10 days to sort out structured data and practical suggestions for you.
1. Core indicators for mud wood acceptance

According to industry standards and user feedback, the acceptance of mud wood needs to focus on the following six categories of indicators:
| Project Category | Acceptance criteria | FAQ |
|---|---|---|
| Wall flatness | 2 meters by ruler inspection, error ≤ 3mm | Wavy unevenness and blisters |
| Ceramic tile emptying rate | Single brick hollowing ≤5%, overall ≤3% | Corners are hollow and loose in large areas |
| wood joints | Gap ≤0.5mm, no cracking | Shrinkage cracks and exposed nail holes |
| Yin-yang angle verticality | Deviation≤3mm/2m | Skew and uneven arc |
| waterproof layer | No leakage in closed water test for 48 hours | Water seepage in corners and leakage around pipes |
| Material consistency | Comply with the brand/model specified in the contract | Repossessing goods as good ones, secretly changing batches |
2. Preparation list of acceptance tools
| Tool name | Purpose | alternative |
|---|---|---|
| 2 meters ruler | Check wall/floor flatness | Long straight wooden strip + feeler gauge |
| Empty drum hammer | Check tile hollowing | Coin tapping sound |
| laser level | Measure verticality/levelness | Hanging hammer + square ruler |
| tape measure | Check size | Mobile phone ranging APP |
3. Solutions to high-frequency problems
According to the analysis of recent complaint data from decoration forums, the three typical problems and solutions during the mud-wood stage are as follows:
1. Repair tile hollows
If hollow drums are found, they need to be dealt with according to the situation: hollow drums at the corners can be repaired by pouring tile adhesive; hollow drums in the center that exceed 1/3 of the area need to be re-paved. Note: No hollows are allowed on floor tiles!
2. Prevention of wall cracks
Steel mesh should be hung at the joints between old and new walls, and gypsum board joints should be treated with caulking gypsum + anti-cracking tape. During the acceptance inspection, focus on checking whether there is L-shaped reinforcement at the corners of the ceiling.
3. Key points for acceptance of waterproof layer
The water level of the closed water test shall not be less than 20mm, and the owner downstairs must be notified in advance to assist in the inspection. It is recommended to install additional layers of waterproofing at weak links such as pipe roots and wall corners.
4. Timeline of acceptance process
| stage | Work content | Time consuming |
|---|---|---|
| Preliminary acceptance | Check materials/base treatment | 0.5 days |
| Interim acceptance | Concealed engineering inspection | 1 day |
| final acceptance | Comprehensive quality inspection | 2-3 days |
5. TIPs for owner acceptance self-inspection
1. It is recommended to conduct inspection on rainy days to make it easier to detect water seepage problems.
2. Shine a flashlight on the wall at an angle to detect slight unevenness.
3. Use A4 paper to test the gaps between doors and windows. They should not be able to twitch freely.
4. Check all drainage slopes and pour water to test flow rate
Through the systematic acceptance process and quantitative standards, the quality of mud and wood projects can be effectively controlled. If any unqualified items are found, the builder must be asked to make corrections and re-inspect to ensure that there are no hidden dangers after move-in. The recently hotly debated topic of "Renovation Regret Pill" also proves that: Strict acceptance in the early stage will save you money wasted in the later stage!
