According to a renowned roof waterproofing expert, “Managing roofs is an intricate task that requires research, the right materials and tools, and a team of qualified engineers.”
Roof leaks are common in under-developed countries, especially Sri Lanka, Nigeria, Pakistan, and more, the main reason being lack of quality with regards to advanced techniques and research methods. Some of the most common methods applied for roof leakrepair are:
Bitumen Waterproofing
Cementitious Waterproofing
Acrylic Waterproofing
Polyurethane Waterproofing
An efficient roofing expert knows the art ’n’ craft of understanding the cause of roof leaks and its repair process. Moreover, he comprehends the aftermath of ignoring a minor roof leak. Roof leakage problems can lead to issues, such as rotting frames, mold & mildew growth, drywall damage, electrical damage, flooring damage, etc.
If the leak is problematic to view with the naked eye, reach the rooftop with a hose. Start low by soaking the area (over the leak seen from the interior). Clear the entire area when the water is drained on the roof. Get an assistant and tell him to stay indoors where the leak appears. let the water gush for several minutes before moving away from the area; inform the assistant to send an alert when the water starts dripping.
N.B. The process can take one or more hour(s). So, be patient and watchful.
