Any owner of the house knows very well that possessions need careful care and regular inspection. The same can be said about the roof. In particular, flexible tiles also need to be careful. After all, you must admit that the overhaul of the roof will cost much more than to eliminate all the defects, as they say, in fact. A planned examination of the state of flexible tiles and caring for it implies the following stages:
– Cleaning the surface of dirt, garbage (leaves and branches). Cleaning is carried out using a soft brush. Long branches are best removed on your own.
– Cleaning the drainage system of the roof.
– Removal of various growths (moss and lichen) from the surface of the roof. Only at first glance it seems that this is a laborious process, but this is not so. It is unlikely that you can do without the use of sharp and stupid objects, if you do not know a few simple rules.
First, process the necessary place on the roof with a special solution for removing vegetation (such antibacterial fluid can be purchased in any household or construction pavilion). Next, you need to wait some time to enter the drug into action. The final step – washing mosses and lichens with a stream of water.
Important!
Rinse vegetation strictly from top to bottom, otherwise water can seep into the roof holes and leaks form.
– If required – the elimination of chips and holes in the drainage system and directly in the roofing material itself.
– In the winter – compulsory purification from accumulated snow. The snow that has fallen in large quantities can seriously deform the material, so it is impossible to delay with cleaning here. It is worth noting that experts advise not to completely remove all the snow, but to leave a small layer – about 25 – 30 cm. Be careful when cleaning the roof with shovels or scoops – you can damage the coating! In order to prevent this, exclude metal shovels, scrap and ax from your arsenal.
As a result
As a result, given all the above tips, you can easily clean the flexible roof without much difficulty. Do not forget to ensure the flow of water from the surface by completing the process by freeing the gutters from garbage. Observing these simple recommendations, the flexible roof will always look “excellent” and will last you for more than a dozen years.
