Metal roof of your house is hollow? Here are the t
Has it ever occurred to you if your metal roof roof is hollow and you have to unpack it. Apparently the problem does not always have to be dismantled. And it does not always cost a lot to fix it. There are two ways to patch it. How to? Here we will explain for you.
In the rainy season it turns out your metal roof is hollow. Can metal roofs be patched?
Here is how to patch metal roof:
1. Patching Using Metal Tile Sheets
To patch the damaged part, you will need a piece of metal roofing sheet of the same type. Therefore, we recommend that you keep an excess sheet at home at the start of installation. Cut sheet metal roof using iron scissors. Then fold the edges carefully. Before pasted, clean the damaged roof using a comb made of wire. Paste pieces of metal roof. Add a ballast (eg a brick) on it so that pieces do not fly. After that, glue the roof with a piece of sheet by using a solder.
2. Patching Using Pieces of Wire Sheets
If you do not have metal roof sheets of the same type, you can also use wire mesh for patching. Cut the wire sheet, then place it on the damaged spot. Prepare the waterproofing mix. Then, coat the surface of the wire with waterproofing to blend with the roof. Wait until it dries.
3. The easiest way, namely by using electronic cork protector (Styrofoam) such as used washing machine, television, and others) are thrown away in the trash. The steps you should follow are as follows:
With a little capital, buy gasoline (premium) of approximately ½ liters at retailers or if still possible take it from your motorcycle tap. Then cut into pieces (styrofoam) into small pieces, about 10-20 cm. Put the gasoline into a used tin or bias jugagelas used mineral water. Then insert the cork pieces into the gasoline, stirring until completely dissolved.
Please climb onto a metal roof, grab a dry cloth and clean the leaking location from the dirt. Paste the dough with brush, wooden stick or hand up to cover the flat part of the leaked dikkiran. Wait for a while to dry by itself. For the use of cork (Styrofoam) usually last only about 6 months at least until the passing of the rainy season.
4. Another practical way is to buy a sealant (silicon) or aquarium glue that is sold in stores. Find the source of the leak, after it has been found, fix it:
If Leak occurs in Nok, make repairs by replacing, rearranging, or inspecting the roof drill or SDS (Self Drilling Screw) screws. Do your own judgment to choose the above repair alternatives. Use a sealant (Silicone Watershield) on a nail or screw SDS roof when necessary.
If a leak occurs on the gutter on the jurai, we first check whether the Gutters Leakage is large or small in diameter. If the small diameter, we can do patching on it by using additive material (patch) which is sold in stores of building materials. If the leak is large in diameter, please replace your jurai gutters with new ones.
If the leak occurs on the metal roof itself, check the source of the leak. If the leak occurs on the connection between the sheet metal tile, then trim back the arrangement of metal tile sheets and re-do the screw / SDS screw with a strong and neat. If a leak occurs on a spike or SDS screw, it can be solved by providing a sealant (Silicon) to the spikes or screws of the SDS so that water can not seep in.
If a leak occurs on the flashing wall, pay close attention to whether the leak occurs on the flashing wall sheets or on the flashing wall cover plaster. If it happens on flashing wall sheets, then do the repair by tidying or replacing the flashing wall sheets. If it happens on plaster only, it can be repaired by applying water proofing material on the plaster, so it will not leak anymore.
After the repair is done we should check it again the next day. Perform monitoring on rainy days, to be proven whether the repair has been successful or not. If there is still a leak, do a re-examination and improvement stages above with more thorough and more neat. Good luck!
