The Roof of the Building, the Most Suffering Part

Is the roof of your house ready to withstand rainfall attacks? Or maybe the roof of your house is one of those affected by "leaking disease" during the rainy season? If so, there are several reasons why house roofs often leak.

1. Construction Errors

Generally this is influenced by the roof slope being inappropriate. The tile roof covering should have a slope of between 30-40 degrees. Anything less than that is guaranteed to be prone to leaks due to leaks from rainwater and more than that the position of the roof tiles is prone to sagging which results in a leaking roof. The solution is to rearrange the slope of the roof, aka completely dismantle it or, cheaper, by providing a leak-proof coating sheet such as aluminum foil.

2. Installation Error

This generally happens because the craftsman is not careful when working on roof locations that are prone to rainwater. For example, at the location of the ridge/camber, edge/crack connection, trim plank and gutter. If the ridge/top is too high, it is prone to cracking, resulting in leaks. The solution provides a waterproof layer such as aquaproof or rubber gutters on the leaking part. When the house is built, choose skilled craftsmen and ask them to be careful when working on these parts.

3. Careless selection of material quality

Each roof covering material has its own character. This affects the slope tolerance of the roof of the house. Likewise with materials such as galvanized sheets and asbestos. Asbestos may be much cheaper but its weather resistance is clearly stronger than galvanized. Careless selection of material quality has an impact on resistance to rainwater attacks.

4. Weather Damage

The roof is the part of the house that suffers the most from the weather because it is exposed to the heat of the sun and rainwater. The consequences that arise from this damage are usually cracks at the edge joints, hairline cracks, porous/rusty and even the color of the coating paint fading. However, you don't need to worry about exposure to extreme weather if you use Rainbow metal roof tiles because their quality has been proven and has an official guarantee of up to 25 years.

Those are the steps you must take as soon as possible to detect the cause of the roof frequently leaking. Hopefully this information is useful.
