The Roof Has Been Fixed But Still Leaking?
Almost everyone is worried about the roof of the house during the rainy season. Sometimes we've spent a lot of money on home renovations. The roof was repaired, but it still leaked. What might be missed by us and the contractor? Here are a number of possible causes.
Roof design
Roof design plays an important role in causing leakage. Is your roof too gentle? Water will continue to infiltrate in the rain with the wind. Is your concrete surface not equipped with a correct slope towards the drain hole (floor drain)? Water will be pooled over you. Discuss these things with your architect or contractor when starting a home construction.
Sliding tile
Although it may be installed correctly, sometimes roof coverings or roof tiles can be shifted due to rain accompanied by strong winds, or due to the stampede of animals. Periodic inspection is the only way to know the shifting of the tile.
The tile is broken or cracked
Sometimes a crack or break occurs on the roof cover or tile you use. This could be due to defects from the plant, extreme temperature differences, hard winds, collision or animal disturbance. Regular visual inspection will only show broken tiles, but especially on concrete roof tiles can occur unseen hair cracks.
Dak cracked concrete
Cracks in addition to concrete roof tiles, can also occur on the roof of your concrete. Improper imaging, continuous weather exposure, and building movement can all cause cracks in concrete. Regular waterproofing and waterproofing is a means of preventing leakage.
Waterproofing paint is peeling off
Waterproof paint or waterproofing that you use on the roof parts (gutters, jurai, or nok), not concrete, and walls attached to the neighbors, have a lifespan. Ask this to the seller of paint, after the disposal of life then you must do re-coating.
Gutters and channels clogged
Lastly, if you already feel fixing a leak on your roof. Check back your roof gutters and rain drains, especially if your house is surrounded by tall trees. Rubbish leaves and dry stems quickly accumulate on top of your roof gutters.
