People who live on the top floor of buildings or in rural bungalows may have a certain understanding of gutter waterproofing. If gutter waterproofing is not done well, it will bring great inconvenience to future residents, and problems such as roof water leakage have not been solved. Who wants to live in water curtain cave? The following small series will briefly introduce the gutter waterproofing and the practice of gutter waterproofing.
gutter:
gutter refers to the concave part between the two legs of the building roof, which is commonly referred to as the drainage ditch on the roof. Roof drainage mainly consists of two ways (mainly flat roofs), one is a roof with parapets, because rainwater is blocked by parapets and cannot flow out. At this time, organized drainage is generally adopted, that is, rainwater is gathered in the gutter and then discharged through drainage pipes. The other is unorganized drainage, which allows rainwater to flow down the roof naturally without any drainage measures.
Practice of gutter drainage:
Everyone may not have a special understanding of this aspect. Generally, if there is a problem, they will ask the repairman to solve it. Sometimes the repairman simply repairs it, but it can't "cure the problem". Therefore, it is necessary to understand the practice of gutter waterproofing.
first, the original waterproof layer must be removed. The reason for the great water leakage on the roof is the problem of the original waterproof layer. In fact, the waterproof layer has a certain service life, and it needs to be replaced regularly, but often we will repair it only when there are problems, which will often cause some economic losses.
second, clean up the grassroots. When cleaning the grass-roots level, all foreign bodies, dust and sundries on the surface of the grass-roots level must be cleaned, especially in the internal corners, which need to be cleaned carefully. After cleaning up the grass-roots level, a new waterproof layer can be better coated. If the cleaning is not clean, it is likely that the new waterproof layer will be smeared unevenly, which is not worth the loss. Therefore, it seems simple to clean up the grass-roots level, but it is actually a very important step.
thirdly, paint the waterproof layer for the first time. When coating the waterproof layer, it should be uniform, and there should be no omissions. In the process of coating, we should also pay attention to the fact that the wet coating layer can not be polluted, so that the waterproof layer can be used for a longer time.
fourth, apply the waterproof layer for the second time. The method of daubing is the same as that of daubing the first layer. It is also important to note that water must not be poured before the waterproof material is dry.
Fifth, check and accept. When the waterproof layer is completely dry, wash it with water to see if it will leak rain.
after these five steps, the roof gutter waterproofing is completed. These seemingly insignificant little common sense are still very important when encountering difficulties!
