6 Ways to Build a Leaky House Roof
Leaky roof is often a problem most people subscribe during the rainy season, let alone weather conditions in 2018 is different from previous years. The cause of roof leaks also vary. For example, a leaking roof is not just because there is a hole. Could also be due to the slope of the roof that is less steep, the installation of less good tiles, water gutter problems, cracks in the roof ridge, or garbage on the roof.
Do not let this problem add to your stress. The solution, build a good roof. Here's how.
Note The slope of the roof
The roof slope should not be too sloping, the limit is 25 degrees - 40 degrees. Suitable roof slope will be able to ward off rain water blown by strong winds, thus minimizing leaking and wall seep. The slope of more than 40 degrees potentially makes the precarious degenerate. If the roof design requires steeper than 40 degrees, the tiles should be nailed, or use a type of shingle roof that does not easily fall.
Use Roof Upholstery
Use a plastic roof coating or aluminum foil at the bottom of the tile. This can help the water entering the roof gap to flow toward the gutter. Usually this is done after the crunch is broken.
Check Routine Roof Frame
Make sure the roof truss is in good condition. Perform routine checks on the ceiling. If found wood that has begun to rot should be replaced with new wood. Decayed wood can cause the tile to fall and leak. Damaged roof trusses also endanger the safety of homeowners, especially if the rain continuously.
Notice the Rooftops
Root ridge should not be made too high because it will be vulnerable to cracks. You should regularly check this part especially during the rainy season. Small cracks such as 1cm can be a source of roof leaks. If there is an immediate rupture fix and patch with a waterproof coating material, the best material is comprised of 2 components: acrylic-based and cement-based, additive, and filler. This material is particularly suitable for use on surfaces that are often buried under water. If the crack is large, replace it immediately with a new one.
Rooftop gutters
Select the size and shape of the gutter according to the discharge and the amount of water. Minimize the connection of the gutters that can increase the potential for damage and leakage. Use the services of an experienced gutters. Clean the gutters regularly so that no garbage can accumulate that can block the water channel.
Coat Roof concrete
Make sure the entire surface is not covered with water block. Note also the degree of slope, make sure the tilt leads to the existing water gutter.
