If you notice that the roof of the house gradually began to wear out, then this is not a reason to completely replace it. To do this, it is enough to carry out small repair work. Given the condition of damage, it may require overhaul or slight recovery.
Visual inspection
First of all, you need to start the repair of the roof with a thorough check of the roof. It is recommended to initially climb the attic and determine in what condition the rafters, the waterproofing layer, etc. It is worth checking to be there:
Dampness.
Mold.
Rotten details and pr.
If the wood began to fade or dark spots are present on it, then this indicates an increased level of humidity. In addition, one of the main signs of a worn roof is a wet ceiling and walls in residential premises. This may become one of the first arguments in favor of starting roof repairs.
Additionally, the roof should be examined from the outside. It is worth starting this check from the ridge, and then move on to the areas of the roof adjustment to the pipes and other elements. These areas are considered the most vulnerable.
After that, you can start inspection of the ventilation ducts and the drainage system. Based on the audit, the required number of building materials and the approximate cost of repair work are calculated.
Restoration of insulation
If damage to the insulation was detected during the audit, you will have to work hard. To do this, remove the internal sheathing, which will allow you to get to steam isolation. Having removed it, it is necessary to inspect the insulation. All moist parts of the thermal insulator must be obtained and replaced with dry.
Having reached waterproofing, it is necessary to check its integrity. If the material is intact, then the film can be laid in place. Otherwise, it will require replacement. It should be noted that the waterproofing membrane should be mounted on the following principle. She is obliged to go around the rafters. To do this, you can use ordinary nails or brackets.
Cut the insulation so that the material is slightly wider than the distance between the rafters. During installation, it is recommended to press it a little. It is important that the joints between the individual layers of the thermal insulator are not combined. It is recommended to lay a vapor barrier on the insulation.
