Many of us would like to know how to repair the roof of the garage on their own.
At the base of repairing the roof of the garage, as a rule, liestechnology of repair of soft roofing. It is not difficult to perform such repairs, and this will not take much time, since in terms of installation, roll roofing is the simplest. There is no need to have any special equipment and special skills.
Repair the garage roof should begin with the preparation of the base. If it is current repair, then the roof can simply be patched or covered with old layers with 1-2 layers of new material in the place of the defect.
Before patching it is necessary to eliminate (cut down) alldefects. Then the surface is rid of debris and poured with bituminous mastic. Then lay a layer of roofing material, the size of which should be greater than the defective area, over which repairs are made. The edges must be greased with bituminous mastic. However, this method often does not bring the desired result.
Another method of repairing the roof is thatThe old layers are not removed, but two layers are deposited over the old coating. This leads to an increase in the load on the roof, which must also be taken into account. Repair of the garage roof in this way begins with the fact that the old cover is cleared of debris. It must be remembered that this method is not used if the roof contains more than eight layers. Installation of new layers is carried out in the usual way.
But it happens that the roof is in a veryworn condition. In this case, the garage roof is overhauled, which consists of the following steps: removal of all old layers, repair of the base, application of a waterproof coating, if necessary laying insulation, screed, laying roofing material, applying a protective layer.
Капитальный ремонт кровли зданий осуществляется using the following means: gas burner, roofing material (roofing material), knife for cutting roofing material, bitumen mastic or sealant, cement, insulation, broom. For heating the material, it is recommended to use a gas burner, not a blowtorch, since the time for heating the roofing material in this case is significantly reduced.
When removing the old coating, use bothSpecial equipment (machine for removing the old layer), and an ordinary ax, in which the wooden handle is replaced with a long metal handle. The base of the roof is cleaned of debris and inspected for defects. If there is not a lot of damage, then there is no need to tie cement. If it is produced, it is sometimes preceded by a roof covering with a heater (foam, gravel, etc.). Within a few hours after laying the cement, the surface is coated with a thin layer of bitumen, which prevents evaporation of moisture.
The main stage is the proper laying of the roofingmaterial that is produced after the cementification of the cement. It is desirable to use fiberglass materials, which have a longer service life, in contrast to materials based on cardboard. Laying is done starting from the bottom of the roof and rising higher. All rows of material are laid with an overlap of more than 10 cm. The seams must be treated with bituminous mastic. Next, the next layer is laid, the seams of the first and second layers must not coincide.
The last step is the application of a protective layer ofbitumen mastic, which is sprinkled with rock crumb and rolled by a roller. This completes the repair of the garage roof. This is a simple process, which, as a rule, is performed by two people.
In conclusion, it should be noted that the inspection of the roof surface for preventive purposes should be carried out at least once every three years.
