ROOF REPAIR

Roof repairs are not limited to repairing defects and restoring them in case of wear and tear. Roof
repairs
 also include the installation of terraces, roof gardens, as well as providing additional thermal insulation or waterproofing, basically, these are any final works and improvements.

Roof repair

There are various possible reasons for roof defects and damage – poor quality of roof installation work
and use of inappropriate or low-quality materials in the roof repair process, the quality of which
does not match the current operating conditions. The most common reasons for roof repair work include
:

  • Roof leaks;
  • Catastrophic accidents or natural disasters;
  • Insufficient heat insulation;
  • Insufficient waterproofing.

On the other hand, the most common types of damage to flat roofs, which we encounter every
day during the roof repair process, are several:

  • Surface damage – occurs due to the use of roofing and insulation material that is not designed for installation at low temperatures. In some cases, defects are associated with overheating during installation work;
  • Local holes, cracks, cuts – occur due to careless handling of the roofing material and non-observance of its installation technology. Sometimes damage may occur during the transportation of material to the job site;
  • Peeling of the material – occurs during installation, due to poor preparation of the work surface. For example, dirt, dust and abrasive particles have not been previously cleaned from the surface of the flat roof;
  • Swelling and wrinkling – occurs due to poor contact between the insulation material and the work surface. Moisture penetrates under the canvas and evaporates when heated. As a result, steam rises, forming defects in the coating;
  • Coating wear – occurs as a result of high mechanical stress or as a result of natural wear and tear. Most roll materials are not designed for walking or moving heavy objects on their front surface.
  • Lack of regular maintenance also causes minor and critical damages that require immediate roof repair – perhaps it was an accident or simply the “age” of the roof – Roofmaster’s team of specialists is ready to help with roof repairs, as well as to ensure that your roof repairs will be carried out with high quality .

Types of roof repair – what are they?

  • Local roof repair – local works that are carried out when small defects and damages are detected in the roof plane. Basically, a partial replacement of the damaged roof covering, delamination and bubble removal is performed;
  • Major roof repair – is a complete replacement of the current insulation layer and roofing material, including a full cycle of surface preparation for the subsequent laying of a new coating. Capital repairs are based on the presence of various types of damage, more than 40% of the total area of ​​flat roofs. Unlike local works, major repairs require more investment.

In order to prevent damage to the roof covering, it is recommended to carry out a planned inspection of the front surface of the roof. When problems are identified, it is important to decide how to carry out repairs to prevent further
damage

Roofs that we repair

What kind of roof repair do we offer?

We offered the repair of soft roofs, bitumen roll materials, PVC and polyurethane flat roofs
throughout Latvia.
Roof repairs are easier and faster in the case of flat roofs. In most cases, dismantling the old waterproofing material is not necessary at all. It is enough to repair the damage to the old covering and, if necessary, apply the new layer. However, there are also cases when the old layer is too uneven or worn out, then it is recommended to level the pavement by laying a thin layer of stone wool and covering it with a new bituminous roll material pavement.

What to pay attention to before starting roof repairs?
Before carrying out roof repairs, the following factors should be taken into account:

  • The thickness of the roof thermal insulation;
  • Condition of the existing roofing;
  • Functionality of the water drainage system;
  • Functionality of ventilation systems;
  • The specifics of the flat roof, the number of outlets, etc.

You have to think not only about the technical factors of the roof, but also about the functionality of the specific roof. The cost of roof
repair will vary greatly depending on its technical condition and functionality.
