The roof in the house flows: instructions for eliminating leaks

No matter what reliable operational qualities there are building materials, they all get old. Some in 10 years, some after fifty. Roofing material is no exception. The whole load from external weather conditions lies on it and monitor its safety by the responsibility of each stringing owner.

What to do if the roof flows?

Probably this question is rhetorical, but still.

If you are the owner of the apartment in a multi -storey building and your house serves the housing office, then the corresponding services should be renovated by the roofing of the roof.

To do this, you need to file a complaint. Verbally for the quick and operational response of housing and communal services or another management company. Very often, oral statements remain statements.

In writing to confirm the complaint. A written complaint is a document to which utilities must respond. In the statement at the Housing Office, it is necessary to describe in detail the essence of the problem: by whom and when the leakage, the name of the street, the number of the house and the apartment is noticed, indicate the amount of material damage caused. In the preparation of the application, the housing office refers to regulatory documents, clauses and contracts under which the house is served. Attach photos from the place of leaks with a detailed description of the event.

The application must require a commission to conduct an examination of the apartment and draw up the relevant act.

The Housing Office or other management company within 12 hours, after the application, must draw up an act of inspection of the object. According to clause 72, the Rules for the provision of utility services of citizens within 24 hours from the date of examination to eliminate the cause of the leak. According to Appendix No. 2 to the rules and norms of the technical operation of the housing stock.

If the management company refuses to draw up an act of survey of the facility, it is necessary to invite an independent expert organization to draw up an act on establishing a cause of the roof leak.

It is also necessary to conduct an assessment examination of material damage.

Often service organizations do not fulfill the requirements on time. It is advisable to immediately prepare for contacting the State Housing Inspectorate (GZHI). To do this, you need to have a copy of the certified appeal or a document confirming the delivery of the application to the service organization.

GZHI response period is from 20-30 days, depending on the region, but no more. In the process of verification, at any time you can ask at what stage your complaint and you must give you the necessary documents. Based on the results of the audit, the service organization can be involved under Article 7.22 of the Code of Administrative Offenses to administrative responsibility, it is also issued an order. The management company does not dare not to complete the order from the GZHI.

Sometimes there is no reaction from the GZHI. In this case, it is necessary to apply to the court in accordance with Chapter 25 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation. The court will consider the appeal within 10th period in accordance with Articles 257 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation. The court decision must be executed and the GZH official will fulfill the court decision, otherwise criminal liability comes.

If you have your own house, then you will have to repair the roof or hire a master who will do such a job.

The reasons for the flow of the roof

Before the liquidation of the leak, it is necessary to establish the cause of the leak. Conventionally, these reasons can be divided into two large groups: internal and external.

The circumstance of the fact that water is dripping from the ceiling, roofing material may not have anything to do. Moisture condenses in the attic and falls down again. Such situations arise if a vapor barrier is incorrectly laid or it was not used at all. The air saturated with a water pair rises from the room to the attic, where moisture is cooled and condenses from it. It saturates the elements of the ceiling with the subsequent loss of dew indoors. In this case, it is necessary to lay a vapor barrier film and provide good ventilation of the attic space.

An example of insulation of the attic and not operated attic.

Changing the operating conditions of the house, increasing thermal insulation of the attic or walls, lack of ventilation or narrowed ventilation ducts, all this can also affect the change in the air balance of the house and, accordingly, can lead to condensate formation.

If the insulation is hidden, it must be replaced. The moisture that condensed in it washed the binder, which worsened its physical properties. In extreme cases, it can be used, but this part of the roof must be additionally insulated.

A wet insulation must be dried qualitatively. Moreover, he can lose his geometric dimensions.

Among the external reasons for the leak of the roof is the first and, probably, the main one is the output of the shelf life of roofing material. After all, everything is aging, and the roofing material is in the first place. The way out of the situation is obvious to replace the roof.

One of the reasons for the leakage of the roof is the violation of the adjacent elements of the roof of the smoke pipe and ventilation ducts. To eliminate leaks, it is necessary to examine the joints, clean and re -seal.

If a profiled sheet or metal tile was used as a roof, roofing screws can be the cause of leaks. During operation, the sealing washer could dry out, it must be replaced. Another reason for the leak of the metal roof is an insufficient amount of fasteners. It is necessary to eliminate the problem with additional mounting elements.

When repairing the roof from the tiles, bitumen tiles, slate, shifts of the roof elements relative to each other are possible. It is necessary to eliminate the problem by installing the roof elements to the right place, or by replacing the damaged elements.

The wrong choice of roofing material can also negatively affect the operation of the roof. In this case, you need to replace the roofing material with the necessary, one that corresponds to the slope of the roof.

Causes of a flat roof

A variant of flat roofing in private housing construction in Europe and the world has long been familiar. In the Russian Federation, this practice is only taking root and is just beginning to look for its consumer.

Flat roofing has high reliability. But it is necessary to examine it at least twice a year. Even if the roof is not operated.

The roofing must be examined for the presence of cracks, ruptures of the roof carpet and, if its condition causes suspicion, it is necessary to make a decision on the repair of a flat roof. Processing with repair can lead to significant material losses.

Repair of a flat roof can be carried out with your own hands or hire a contractor. And in the first and second cases, it is necessary to determine the main problems of the roof to calculate the budget for the repair of the roof.

In almost all cases, when repairing a flat roof, it is necessary to replace a rolled covering carpet or part of it during local repair.

The carpet is removed using a large spatula or ordinary bayonet shovel to check the insulation layer and the condition of the cement screed. If the old carpet without bloating has no large cracks and holds tightly, then there is no need to remove it. After all, the greater the thickness of the roof, the higher its reliability.

When examining a flat roof for the presence of leaks, special attention must be paid to the elements of the adjoins: overhangs, technological passages, visors. They are bypassed with sheet iron, it must be checked, if necessary, replace it.

Since the angle of inclination of a flat roof on average is 30 mm per 1 meter, high requirements are advanced to the quality of all stages of roof installation.

Modern roller roof bitumen -melted materials are made on a synthetic non -rotting basis. For the basis of the material, fiberglass or polyester is used. The basis is impregnated with modified bitumen, which has increased physicochemical properties for wear, mechanical deformations, withstand a large temperature difference.

The lines of the material of the material are 10-15 years.

During the repair, the roll is rolled out perpendicular to the slope of the roof with overlap at least 10% of the width of the roll.

With a local or so -called lamp repair, the desired area must be previously cleaned of dirt and layers. It is used for a recently laid roof, for a roof that is almost worn out, it is pointless to use lance repairs.

Repair in winter: for and against.

It is not recommended to carry out full -fledged repair in winter. But there is no reason to wait for spring or summer either. With most roofing materials, you can work year -round, with some materials with small restrictions.

It is problematic to work in winter with an oily at air temperature - 5C, it becomes very fragile. For bitumen tiles, the restriction becomes up to -10C, for the euro -ruble -up to -15s.

In general, at an air temperature below -15C, it is advisable not to carry out any external work, this is due to the possibility of frostbite and prohibition at the legislative level.
