The garage is the second home. And if the woman supports a woman in the first order and comfort, then a man is followed in the garage. It should not be warm and cozy here, but it is simply necessary to comply with the necessary requirements for dryness and reliability. The proceed roof can become a serious test for the owner, if it does not patch it on time. About how and what to repair the roof of the garage we will talk in this article.
Methods of repair
The roof repair method directly depends on the type of construction, the type of roof itself and, of course, the degree of its wear. Often, the garage is built in a small distance from a residential building and make it from low-cost roofing materials: professional flooring, metal tiles, ondulin and flexible tile. As for collective garages, there will be no tile here. For them, soft bitumen materials are more suitable.
There are several ways to repair the roof of garages:
- hot bitumen;
- soft roofing materials;
- tiled or professional flooring.
Preparatory work
To begin with, it should be determined how much the roof suffered and special attention to the failed elements that need to be replaced. The fastest repair of the roof of the garage is carried out with the help of rolled or leaf construction materials. Piecely take away much more time, so if the rainy season is on the nose, and the roof gaps with holes, it is better to do everything quickly.
Stages of preparatory work:
- Clean the roof from foliage and garbage.
- Inspect the surface to assess the degree of damage. It is possible that there will be enough patches in problem places for repair.
- Remove the problem and projected roof elements for subsequent replacement.
- If the old roof was covered with rubberoid, and you saw cracks or bubbles on it, then they must be eliminated before the start of repair work. Cut the problem areas with a sharp knife with a sharp knife and remove the edges. Space inside Clean the dust and dirt if there is such. Subsequently, you can simply pour these recesses with hot bitumen.
Repair hot bitumen
Repair of soft roof garage is usually made with a hot bitumen.
Required materials and tools:
- bitumen;
- bucket (it is better to choose a bucket that is not a pity because it will be "disposable");
- rope with a metal hook at the end to lift the bucket on the roof;
- ladder;
- bricks to make a "oven" for heating bitumen;
- rigid brush to clean the problem areas from dirt;
- construction gloves.
Stages of work:
- Clean the roof from foliage and dirt and warm up the bitumen on the improvised stove-grill of bricks. When the mass becomes a militant and plastic, you can start the fill.
- With the help of a rope with a hook, lift the bucket with a molten bitumen to the roof and point to them distressed. If there is a desire and the ability, you can cover the roof of the bitumen completely to make sure to eliminate the possibility of leakage.
- Specify the bitumen direction with a flat wooden board, moving it over the surface.
- Wait for the material to dry.
Repair with soft materials
Soft roofing materials are often used to repair the roof of the garage (photo).
These include bikrost and ruberoid. And if the latter can be put on bitumen mastic, then you will need a gas burner for laying a biket. Despite this, working with the bike is much easier and faster, because it is not necessary to mess with the preparation and fill of mastic.
Ruberoid
Repair the roof of the garage with the help of the rubberoid is not so difficult, especially if you just need to put several patches. Just cut the required number of pieces and close it prepared areas. The only nuance - a diedy piece must accurately correspond to the size of the hole, otherwise all efforts will be useless.
Patch creation steps:
- On the swollen or cracked plot, make a cross-shaped incision and move triangles.
- Clean the hole from dust and dirt with the help of a rigid brush.
- Apply inside bitumen mastic or resin.
- Next to the mastic to put a prepared cutteroil segment.
- Apply on top of the runnerdoor one layer of bitumen mastic.
- Without waiting for drying, return the bent triangles to its original position.
- Measure another piece of rubberoid, sizes a little more than a damaged area.
- Apply mastic on a closed hole and cover it with a larger referenced.
- Top wanted another bitumen layer.
If you decide to cover the entire roof bitumen, the course of work will be somewhat different, and this time will leave much more.
Stages of work:
- Clean the roof from dirt and dust.
- Apply the Hudron layer, the width of which will correspond to the width of the cloves of the rubberoid.
- Place the "strip" of the rubberoid on a lubricated place.
- Cover the next section of the roof of the Hudron, entering a slightly brass at the previous piece of rubberoid (about 10-15 centimeters), and again the bed of the canvas.
- Promotion in this way until you cover the rubberoid all surface.
Useful advice: If bubbles appear during the stacking, just cover them with a knife, release air and tightly press the tar. For one hundred percent waterproofing, you can once again slip them from above.
If your garage is adjacent to the neighboring, then during the styling of the runneroid, pay special attention to the places of docking material with other roofs. Usually these are the most "weak" places where cracks appear most often.
We offer to familiarize yourself with the useful video about the repair of the roof of the garage with the help of the rubberoid.
As a rule, one layer of rubberoid is enough for your garage to be reliably protected from moisture, but if the operating conditions are too harsh, or you live in a region with high humidity and frequent rains, then it is better to lay two layers.
The cost of repairing the roof of the garage rubberoid usually does not exceed 600-700 rubles. The material itself is inexpensive (from 200 to 300 rubles per roll), bituminous mastic or resin cost about 100 rubles per bag, and the rest of the materials and tools can be found in the same garage.
Bikrost.
If the repairs in the rubberoid seemed to you too complicated and energy-intensive, we bring to your attention a biker. To lay it, you will not need to flood bitumen mastic or resin. All you need is a gas burner and an oxidized quick-hardening bitumen. This is a special bitumen variety, which is very quickly "grasped" and tightly attached to the base.
Stages of work:
- Roll off the bike roll by 50-60 cm and warm it with a burner from the wrong side.
- Quickly press the heated material to the surface of the roof T-shaped stick.
- Stand your legs on a fresh place, again roll a roll again and repeat the procedure, putting the second strip of the mustache for 7-9 centimeters.
Such work will take a maximum of one and a half hours of work, and the quality of waterproofing will not be worse than from the professional laying of the rubberoid.
The price of repairing the roof of the garage biker will be slightly higher, but not so much so as not to be seduced by compressed work deadlines. So, dry and comfort of your garage will cost about 1,500 rubles.
Repair professional flooring and tile
Separate garages, as a rule, are covered with metal tiles, flexible tiles or professional flooring. And if the damaged segment of the professional flooring is not much difficult, then with the tile will have to tinker.
Professor
To repair the roof of the garage by a professional flooring, you need to stock up with simple tools. You need the sheets of material, tape measure, disk saw and screwdriver.
Typically, individual garages are covered with allocated corrugated sheets that are not increasing, as in the case of metal tile. In this case, it is necessary to make a side nest, and one such "wave" is quite enough to ensure proper waterproofing of the entire premises.
Since the width of the sheet of professional flooring is approximately meter, then 5 sheets will need 5 sheets for the usual five-meter garage.
Stages of work:
- In the upper corner the screwdriver fix the first sheet of the professional flooring. It is not necessary to twist fastening to the end so that if necessary, it was possible to adjust its location.
- In the same way, fasten a couple of sheets and check whether the line of the roof line coincides with their edges.
- Align the sheets and finally secure them with a screwdriver.
- The upper and lower part consolidate through the "wave", and the middle part is in a checker order.
Metal tile.
The coating of the roof of the garage with metal tiles will take a little longer. Despite the obvious labor intensity, today most people choose this method, because the metal tile looks beautiful and effectively. On the market you can choose absolutely any colors and turn your garage into an object envy of all neighbors!
Fix metal tile should be fixed from below and moving towards the very top of the roof. For fixing, use self-tapping screws with a rubber gasket so that the metal "does not go" and not loosened. In addition, gaskets will provide additional waterproofing in places of attachment.
Stelite the elements of the mustache using special latches at the top and bottom of the sheets. It will give even more reliable clutch.
Repair the roof is simply, especially if you have a construction for construction. Having made such work at least once with your own hands, you will receive a valuable experience that is more useful to you in the future.
