All of us would agree that a leak in the roof of the house is very disturbing its occupants, and if kept unpunished would result in greater leakage and will damaging the roofing material and the roof structure itself-to ignore, let alone water droplets aKN very uncomfortable to be among the rooms of our house.
If the water droplets fell to the floor may not be a big problem given a bucket to collect the droplets can be said to be half-finished case, but if the droplets of the furnishings we were terbiat of materials that easily weathered because of the water, such as wood products will lead to other problems, especially the water droplets that are in the bedroom or even directly on the mattress, the problem will grow.
Well to the Tabloid Rumah Idaman this time will share some of the things that could lead to a leak in the roof so we could take measures precautions ...
the slope of the roof of a house that is less steep
roof slope is less steep or ramps will be at risk of rain that hit can not be poured down quickly and smoothly. Especially in times of heavy rain water discharge is definitely too much. And as a result, some of the water remain in the roof of the house, the water will not immediately come down looking for the slightest gap in the roof, especially at the connection / meeting roof coverings (such as tile, asbestos, etc.). The slope of the roof is at least the minimum is 27 °, so that rain water can flow immediately drops down to the next to the city's sewer.
Installation of tile that are less well
So that the roof does not leak, roof coverings such as asbestos, tile or zinc alum must be properly installed, do not let a gap that can cause rain water goes into it. Tile must be installed in a proper way, up between the tiles with other tiles can interlock with the meeting. Tile should be made of good quality material, such as tile has a form that the precision between the tiles to one another. In the case of tile installation should be done by an experienced artisan.
Problems with guttering
Gutters are channels that drain water from the roof surface to the drain downward. Then make sure that the gutters are installed correctly, the connection to the gutter-jurai also must be considered with proper installation techniques as well. Gutters should use quality materials so that the gutters can be durable to heat. In addition to the material and shape of gutter materials, which also must be considered is the size. Chamfer size must be in accordance with the discharge water to be drained off, ie, the greater or the width of the roof, the gutter width to be adjusted. If the size of the gutter is too small for the size of the roof area is large and wide, then not all of the water can be streamed, it will make the leak in the roof for water will get into the gaps between tiles.
There is garbage on the roof
We must maintain the cleanliness of the roof because if there is garbage, it will be at risk of leakage. Garbage like leaves most frequent cause of the leak. If the foliage is piling up in the gutters, it will hinder the flow of water to flow immediately to the bottom, and at the end of spilling into the gaps between the roof.
There is a gap in the ridge of the roof
The ridge is the highest part of the roof. On this ridge tile paired kind of knock and is usually reinforced with cement mortar sand. If the ratio of cement and sand unbalanced, then this may result in the cement mortar ditak fused with tile, worse still is that after the dry mortar easy to crack, to allow water to enter the crevices. Weather climate change could also be the cause of cement and sand mixture becomes damaged, cracked even apart from the tile knock. Also installation techniques are reckless and do not be performed by a seasoned can cause the roof is leaking.
