leaky roof

[badkuk]

The roof seems to be springing a lot of leaks lately...considering that the past few rainshowers this year haven't been that intense, i'm a bit concerned that it might get worse during the wet season.

From what i gather from past repairs, the GI sheets seem to be OK, nagkakaproblem lang sa mga dugtong/nailpoints.

Ano kayang magandang solution:

1. Vulca seal
-- imho, a bit hard to pinpoint where to apply it; sa tag ulan lang talaga magiging obvious

2. rubberized roofing
-- i'm hoping that coating the entire roof would be aone shot deal, to seal up the leaks and also provide heat insulation.
-- mahal ba to? how much per sqm lalabas?
-- any special procedure to apply it, or do we just buy a few cans and paint it on?

If leaks were not a problem w your roof before, Clean the gutters, spouts and drains tapos vulcaseal muna. Check well the edges and flat sheets that may need repair or replacement. Vc

Sa akin, design defect talaga yung isang part ng house so perennially may leak problem.

I doubt the rubberized will help much though. Mas okay pa rin insulation.

Check also for water seepage from the walls and gutters.

Isa pang problema yan; one side of the room "cries" when it rains. Nagkataon pang nasa taas ng wall socket. Am thinking about disconnecting it na lang, mahirap na

Hindi ba house roof kasi the TS mentioned dugtong and nailpoint.

Pero bigla rin nga ako nalito :rofl:

Si sir lang yata ang nalito :D

on the shee metal joints try evo-stick flashband. this is like a tar like band of sticky tape. available in most hardware stores. medyo ma kamahalan lang. it comes in various lenghts and widths. for all its worth, get a guy that you can pay on a per day basis and have him slather vulca seal on every nail or bolt head that he sees, plus the roof edges.

hehe. I thought I made a mistake too and had to read the TS' post again

But really, leaking roofs are very expensive. Minsan kasi pag nagpapagawa ang dami pang ibang nakikita na hawa hawa na

[holdencaulfield]

makikita mo yan pag umakyat ka.
puntahan mo lang naman yung area ng sa tingin mo andun yung tulo. yung pako angat usualy or yung butas makikita mo. buy ka lang tulad ng sabi ng isa rito na cord marine epoxy or any epoxy for roof. lagyan mo na lahat ng pakong makakayanan nung isang pouch.
good luck at sana di ka masyado mabigat so as not to put some more damage to your roof. hanapin mo yung pamakuan dun ka maglakad.
ingat!

I will tell you a secret. VULCASEAL & FEDSEAL are crappy products that does not even do it's intended purpose at all. At most, it would last a half a year and end up you needing to re-apply it again. That is how the company behind the product makes money.

There is a much better product that actually seals the gaps in the roofing and lasts many years after ONE application.

What product is that?

What product is that?

PYE FLEXI-SEAL ...

We used to distribute their products but we discontinued after 2 years because of slow sales. While we had their products, we tried it ourselves. Very good in sealing and waterproofing our van roofs and warehouse roof as well. Our van roof constantly leaked when we were using fedseal/vulcaseal. After one use of PYE sealant, no more leaks for years!

mas magandang ngayon mo gawin yan habang summer pa. diy mo rin yung mga karpintero minsan di pulido gumawa.

That explains why every year or so we have to re-do the darn roof. In fact i'm just about to put out the PPP again.

When i construct my own house, I really intend to do the roof well.

GH, are the PYE products still available locally?

What roof sealant product had that girl doing the roof in the rain? Baka every year, papagawa ng bubong yung mga tao kung ganyan ang mag-apply ng vulca seal.
