Living in a house with drips on the ceiling is uncomfortable and very dangerous. The roof leaks can lead to closures in the electrical wiring, the appearance of dangerous fungus and mold, disruption of the microclimate in the room and even the collapse of the roofing structure. We will tell you how to repair a suddenly protruding roof.
the use of low-quality building materials and fasteners;
mechanical damage to roofing design;
incorrect operation of the drain;
Natural wear.

Repair work begins with inspection of an attic room. Climbing into the attic, carefully check the waterproofing, flooring and rafters for the presence of wet places, mold and rot. The detected locations of the leaks indicate the knead or chalk. After the internal inspection of the roof, proceed to an outdoor survey of roofing - pay attention to rust and dark spots, changes in the texture and color of the material.

Damage to the tiled roof is most often associated with the incorrect tile laying. Damaged coating fragments neatly dismantle, starting on the side of the attic, and replace a similar new tile. Microcracks and small slots on the surface of the tiles can be sealed with a solution of two parts of fine sand, one part of the lime and a small amount of chopped linen fiber (pakley). To protect the tile from the effects of dampness and mold, after repair work it can be coated with a special colorless composition, which, when contacting water, forms a moisture-proof film.

The leaks in the metal tile roof are the result of the fastening of fasteners or mechanical damage (dents, scratches or samples). As for the discharged self-tapping screws, they will have to be replaced by better new ones. All gaps and holes need to be sealed with silicone roofing glue or sealed with bitumen adhesive tape. For small through holes, you can apply steel patch of suitable size. Detected during visual inspection of roof defects need to be covered with special paint in order to prevent corrosion. With significant damage it is more expedient to replace the entire sheet.

Shallow cracks and chips on the traditional slate roof are eliminated by entering the cement mortar from two parts of fine sand and one part of the cement. It is also possible to seal the damaged area using adhesive repair tape (a pre-defective place is treated with gasoline or White-spirit). The places of fastening of nails are covered with oil and close up with silicone sealant or roofing mastic.

The most common causes of the flow of a metal sheet roof is a disturbance of the tightness of the welding seams, which fasten the sheets of coating into a single design, and corrosion formed due to various mechanical damage. Small defects are eliminated as follows: First, the damaged place is thoroughly cleansed with a rigid metal brush and degreases, after that the prepared area is covered with a patch and soldered by a powerful soldering iron. After the full cooling of the material of the solder excess is removed with a file. At the end of the repair work, the folding roof is desirable to open the facade water-repellent paint.

Local repair of a soft roof is performed solely after complete dying of problem areas. The swollen fragments (the so-called "bubbles") are caught with a sharp knife, turned and carefully dry. Then the defective portion is missed from the inside with mastic or roofing glue. After that, the hinds are returned to the original position (for better hitch, they need to close the roof tightly as much as possible). If substantial breaks of the roofing material are detected, then the larger compartment impose on top of the damage (it must be pre-wrapped with mastic).
That's how you can return the integrity of almost any roofing coating.
