Roof Replacement:
Roofs undergo maximum wear and tear as these structures protect the interiors and the occupants from extreme climatic conditions. The average lifespan of a roof is between 15-20 yrs with regular maintenance. More than any other building component, roofs also need regular replacement to maintain the look and prevent any serious damage to the roof resulting in leaking. Roof sheets and roof tiles, especially if they are colored, need to be maintained regularly to avoid faded roof patches as a result of the continual exposure to various climatic conditions.
Precautions to be taken before roof replacement starts:
Roof replacement is a hectic activity. There are high chances of the interiors getting damaged if proper precaution is not taken to safeguard the same. A few precautions to be taken before starting to replace your roof are:
- The first step is to cover and pack all your belongings so that the debris doesn’t cause the dust to settle on your belongings.
- Clear the walls off from wall hangings, motifs, etc. This will help the roofing solution contractor to work without any restrictions.
- Automotives like two-wheelers and four-wheelers must be moved to a safer shed as the debris from the wall might damage your locomotives during roof replacement.
- Green cover around your house, i.e the trees that stand tall on the roof must be trimmed or removed. If the trees aren't removed, they might cause damage to the new roof. The grass must also be trimmed short so that it is easy to clean your lawn (if you have) of the small roof pieces and debris.
- The adequate materials to replace the roof sheet and roof tiles must be purchased well in advance. It helps in reducing the time taken for replacing the roof. Efficient time management helps to install the roof faster.
Why roof replacement is important:
Roof replacement is vital as it helps increase the lifespan of the roof. A timely roof replacement can prevent major damages to the wall or other structures of the house. When a new roof is installed the quality of air increases as the moisture and other dirt from the old roof gets replaced and cleaned. Roof replacement helps you get a better cover for the arriving season. Especially in a coastal area like Western and Eastern coastlines where the roof is exposed to climatic conditions, replacing the roof is better for the people living and the building. A hilly terrain climate witnesses a lot of dew and moist collection on the roof. So, the roof must be replaced regularly and consistently checked for small leakages.
