If the roof of your house or cottage was originally designed correctly, then only various atmospheric phenomena that led to damage to the roofing (abundant precipitation, snow, hurricane wind, tornado, etc. can become the reason for its repair.). The result is now required to repair the roof.
Before starting to independently eliminate the problem areas of the roof, it is worth paying special attention to the type of coating and the size of the metal tile – on this, the conducted spectrum of work will directly depend. If you have started problems with a coating made of natural or ceramic tiles, then you should strengthen the roof with blocks or boards and smear cracks with a cement solution. If the old solution has cracked and spilled out between the tiles, then clean the seam from old fragments and cover with a new solution of lime and sand, with the addition of fibers of pacli.
The main damage to the metal roof can be mechanical damage and roof corrosion, as well as depressurization of the seams. To eliminate defects, first clean the damaged place using a metal brush. Next, cut a metal patch and using a soldering iron, a pig of a lead with zinc, solder it to the damaged surface. After cooling, the solder should be removed with a file. Then paint the roof with water -repellent paint for facades.
To repair the roof from metal tiles, you can also use a soldering iron and metal patches, but often the cause of such a roof is the dialing of fasteners. To eliminate such a problem, it is worth replacing the mount.
Electric spray gun is most convenient for applying washing in the form of a solution.
The helium washing version has a fairly thick consistency and the spray gun can be clogged.
Without special problems, you can repair roof defects covered with bitumen tiles.
However, there is a rule here: repair can only be carried out at a temperature above 5 degrees. If there are minor damage on the roofing sheet, then it should be lifted and covered with a layer of mastic or roofing glue. If the damage is quite serious, it is better to just replace the sheet whole.
The slate roof is repaired easier than others. It all comes down to the fact that cracks and holes are simply smeared with cement mortar. Self -adhesive tapes from butylum are also used.
