When the house was inhabited

Cases which occurred on the roof of your house which is inhabited by a leak. For that meditation should immediately if there is leakage. stored water will accelerates the weathering of wood. Steps taken to deal with leaks is to find the cause of the leak. Some of the causes that can creates leaks are as follow:

a. Closing the roof is less good. Al this can happens because the cover material such as poor quality or less precision, so installation is less tidy. Can also occur due to seepage from the roof cover. For the election of a high quality roof cover should take precedence.

b. The slope of the roof is too sloped so water does not flow fast flowing and there was a puddle. Recommended for roof sloped at least 30 degrees while the asbestos 10 to 15

c. The meeting between the tile and Rooftop often have cracked or broken. Normally the materials used to cover the top of the roof tile mortar which is then given nok. Connections between nok often separate or crack. This also happens in other connections. A simple step is the connection Waterproofing previously been given a fiber base.

d. Of guttering usually come many cases, depending on the size and materials used are as follow:

1. Small gutter that can not accommodate the bulk of rain water.
2. The slope of the gutter so that water flows less smoothly.
3. When using zinc guttering, leaks can occur in zinc-hole or a connection between the gutters and drainage
4. When using concrete gutters, leaks occur because of cracks in the concrete so that the hair is in Waterproofing.

Besides a few things about these treatments, the presence of termites in the roof should always be wary of. For routine maintenance was performed on a regular basis between two to four years for termite attack can be prevented. When termites have invaded the roof is the safest step is to replace the roof truss.

Fiber cement

Closing the roof fiber cement most easily installed and relatively cheap price compared to other roof cover. This is because the use of the framework of the roof is not as much as the framework for the roof using a roof tile cover. The framework of the roof only using support without rafter and lath used to support roof tile. Size is quite small material, depending on the length of its exposition. Size fiber cement commonly found in the market, among others, 1.05 m wide with 1.5 m long, 1.8 m, 2.1 m, 2.4 m, 2.7 m, and 3 m.

Fiber cement cover the roof of this there are three types, namely 5.5 waves, 14 waves, and asbestos tile. Type of wave is called 5.5 because, in each of them there are 5.5 waves. Meanwhile, the wave is called the type 14 because in each there are 14 pieces of its waves. For asbestos tile, every sheet its size is 0.8 m x 1 m. Use of the cover or fiber cement aims as a substitute for asbestos is not recommended for use because it can disrupt the health consequences of raw materials used that contain fiber size is very small when damaged. Fiber cannot evaporate in the air and not soluble in water. When the human respiratory, this will be fine fiber settles in the lungs which can cause diseases such as lung cancer, asbestosis (injured in the lungs) and mesothelioma (cancer in the peritoneal and chest). Therefore, it is recommended for users asbestos roof to minimize the effect caused, namely how to use the ceiling underneath. This can prevents will be draw on its fiber. Recommended when possible as soon as possible to the asbestos is damaged, and replace.
