What if the roof leaks? This article will provide you with a solution.

Looking for property solutions

According to the relevant regulations of the building, if it is a commercial house, you can find the property management and let them solve it. If you don't solve it, complain to them.

Find the cause of the water leak

If it does not belong to the scope of property management and can only be repaired by itself, then look for the leaking place first, then look at the leaking area and see what can be done to remedy it.

Cement joint filling

If you find a leaking place, if the area is relatively small, it means that waterproofing is not done well. If it is a gap, you can cut the gap a little more and make it bigger, and then fill it with cement again. After filling in the gap, brush cement ash on it.

Laying asphalt

The common method is paving asphalt, which is generally aimed at the situation of small leakage area, simple construction and relatively cheap price.

Redo waterproof

If the area is relatively large and the waterproof layer can no longer be waterproof, it can only be waterproof again, preferably in hot summer.

Laying colored steel tile

In many cases, paving asphalt is only a temporary measure. After some waterproof projects are done, the effect is not very good and it will leak rain. You can lay colored steel tiles. This is the best, but the cost is higher.

Take a small pavilion

You can build a small attic on the roof, which can not only prevent water leakage, but also shade the sun and avoid the top floor from suffering in summer.

Avoid stagnant water and plants.

It is directly related to water accumulation on the roof, especially in old buildings. Waterproof aging, drainage should be smooth, if there are wild plants on the roof, it is easy to leak, and planting will affect the waterproof effect.
