What are the reasons for roof leakage?

1. The house ages after living for a long time, and coupled with our lack of regular maintenance and upkeep, the waterproof material on the roof gradually ages due to exposure to sunlight and rain, resulting in poor waterproof performance and water leakage.

2. Some people like to plant a lot of flowers and plants on the roof, which also affects the waterproof layer of the roof.

3. The house was dug by the construction team at that time during construction, and the waterproofing work was not done well. If the construction did not meet the standards, water leakage would naturally occur.

How can we prescribe the right medicine to prevent roof leakage?

1. Finding the leak point on a sunny day can be a bit difficult, as if a leak is seen inside the house, it may not necessarily be on the roof, but also on the walls. Therefore, it is necessary to open a large area of the roof to thoroughly locate the leak point and then replace it with waterproofing membrane.

2. Repairing on the back of the water surface, injecting waterproof glue into the leaking area, and strengthening the density of the concrete in the leaking area. However, this method can only solve the urgent problem and may recur in the future.

3. Usually, cracks can be seen when there is a roof leak. We can fill the cracks with asphalt, and after it dries, we can apply waterproof coating several times to ensure that there is no more leakage

4. If it is a commercial housing, water leakage problems usually occur in areas such as kitchens, toilets, and balconies. Therefore, we need to strengthen the waterproof function of these areas. Of course, the most practical way is to find the property management to identify the cause of the water leakage and negotiate a solution.

5. The methods for repairing roof leaks often only treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. If you want to completely cure the problem, you can chisel open the walls around the pipes, redo the waterproofing of the entire leaking roof, and completely block the leaking area.
