First of all we should make sure first what causes leaky roof. Many things that cause leaking roof, but we better classify them into two categories, namely due to errors in processing procedures and due to errors from things beyond expectations.
First, errors in processing procedures eg Facilities Development.
There are many types of roofs are used in homes. But, mostly, as we can observe, will use the tile roof. And the tile roof is the most likely to leak and leak prevention techniques hardest.
Areas most prone to leakage is the meeting place of the roof areas. Line of this meeting if the convex closed by the type of tile called nok or wuwungan (ridge) and is protected by the gutter if concave jurai (valley), which also functions as a channel for rain water.
In making the roof or the Development and Sports Facilities Sports Facilities Development in this area we should give more attention. Usually sellers of other types of roof tile or give instructions detail how the installation of rooftop or gutters jurat. Make sure these instructions are carried out exactly as recommended, or better.
However, before Make sure that the roof has been designed in the corner above the minimum. Each type of tile has a “spec” the slope itself. Generally, clay tile is designed for the angle between 27.5 to 40 degrees. Large or small the angle depends on the purpose of aesthetic design or the Sports Facilities Development Sports Facilities Development.
However, do not let the provisions of the minimum angle should not be violated since the fall of drops of rain does not always follow the gravitational upright, but more often askew because of the influence of wind.
If the angle is not quite as Development Facility, from the crevices between the tiles is going to rain. While the gaps are deliberately left there to accommodate the expansion needs of each tile pieces and sometimes also for ventilation. Conversely, if the roof angle must be greater than 40 degrees, each piece of tile should be nailed to battens which is right below it is not so easy to sag. Tile are designed and made with good there is always a nail hole for this. Second, an unexpected error is leakage that occurred long after the house was completed.
Of course we must first determine where the leak up there. The first allegation of course there is the rooftop area earlier. Later in other regions that most likely the tile are broken or dislocated from its place and leave a hole big enough, sure to cause leaks. What we must do is restore the tile are shifted to the starting position with a new one or replace if broken. However, at the rooftop will be more complicated. What to do here is temporary repairs and permanent repairs.
Repair / Maintenance Facilities as conducted upon completion of the rain and should be considered emergency repairs due to be followed by permanent repairs done on the next dry season. Temporary repairs can be a coating of the leak area with an elastic coating, either in the form of sheets or liquid that is applied with a brush.
Repair or maintenance of a permanent building is intended to eliminate the leakage problem forever. Conducted in the dry season because it requires the state really dry from the roof or rooftop, or the parts that other leaks. It is recommended that worked well with the overall maintenance activities of the roof for cost efficiency.
This maintenance position itself in the form of checks tiles. Cleaning of dirt or dead leaves caught in the gutter holes. Should be done thoroughly.
Construction of the roof should also be examined. Is it still strong and shaped like the original. If there are changes in the shape of certain parts such as roof melendutnya field, what may make, have made a total demolition and improvements in that section. Maintenance of Buildings and Maintenance of this facility should be performed regularly.
