FIND THE CAUSE OF YOUR ROOF LEAKING  and  FIND THE SOLUTION

The rainy season is coming soon, are you worried that your house will leak? 
The most important thing you should do is to do a routine check on the condition of your roof / tile.

Get to know some of the causes of your roof leak below and the solutions that can be taken to overcome it:

1. Roof that is too sloping and installation that is not as recommended,
The roof must follow a certain slope so that the water does not settle and fall down. The level of slope of the roof must be adjusted to the type of roof / tile to be used.

2. Improper installation of roofs / tiles,
The use of lightweight steel frames is currently considered more appropriate than the use of wooden frames for your roof. Wooden frames can be weathered which often causes roof tiles to fall and leak roofs. 

Also make sure the installation of your roof is the right screw and the appropriate amount. It is important to have gutters so that running water falls to the ground and does not settle on the roof.
If you use tile, make sure you also have a nok side cover to hold water so as not to enter the between tiles.

3. Hair cracks or tiles damaged due to weather changes,
Hot and cold weather can cause leaks on the roof.
Waterproofing is important to apply in order to provide protection against roof connections or on the dak / cast of your home.
The need for ventilation or vents or windows on the side of the roof (under the roof tiles) to maintain good circulation and avoid excess moisture / heat on your roof.

4. Clogged water drains/gutters,
Make sure the size of the water gutter is adequate. Avoid planting large trees close to your roof. If there are many tall plants around your roof, make sure you keep the roof clean because the foliage waste often causes your roof's gutters to become clogged and cause leaks.
