Soft roofing material takes particular demand when arranging the roof is not accidental. First of all, it allows you to install on the design of any complexity, regardless of the form. And rolled, and the piece material is particularly flexible and strength due to the features of the composition (fiberglass, impregnated with bitumen), which significantly increases its operational characteristics and provides long-term use. But despite this, he is less likely than the other roofing materials, but still needs to be repaired with cosmetic or capital.

When is required repair of a soft roof?

Preventive inspection regularly, each season. Such an approach will allow you to identify minor damages in time, which is much easier to correct than at the stage of strong flow. The repair price of a soft roof at the initial stage will also be significantly lower.

What to pay attention to the inspection of the roof?

With a prophylactic inspection, inspected not only the outer surface of the roof, but also the ceiling, and the walls indoors.

Outside the roof defects are as follows:

• bundle roofing cake, in particular detachment of the top layer
• funny, bubbles
• sewage of the roof in separate parts
• violation of the integrity of the aprons around chimney pipes
• tree cracking
• formation of recesses of funnels with water stag
• significant Wetting of Walls with Subkum
• the appearance of moss, fungus, rotting material.

In case of inspection, pay attention to such manifestations:

• the integrity of the surface of the ceiling and walls of the upper floor
• lodges
• swimming, cracks
• changing the color of plaster or detachment of the facing material.

Important! Note that the presence of problems inside is a vivid indicator of the destruction of the roof, but their absence in the room does not mean that there are no defects outside.

Soft roof repair technology

To install a new coating in problem places, select more appropriate technology. After that, you will define the necessary set of tools.

The following methods are suitable for laying soft roofs:

• Floating under the influence of high temperature
• Blind using bitumen mastic.
  

  Important! The first method is more popular lately, as it provides the most sealed clutch of the material and the damaged surface and less labor.
  

Materials and tools

To perform the repair of soft roof roofs, prepare the following tools:

• Gas-burner
• Gas cylinder
• The stick for rolling stacked material
• Roulette or other measuring device for cutting material
• Mounting cutter
• Roofing knife
• Axe
• Spatulas
• Broom
• Vacuum cleaner
• Construction Fen
• Shovel
• Protective clothes (gloves, boots, thick pants)
• Bituminous mastic
• Mounting sealant
• Rollers
• Primer primer
• Cement-sand mix for screed
• Buckets for making a solution
• Boiler or barrel for mastic melting.
  

  Important! When selecting a set of tools, focus on the volume of repair work and the type of damage.

What material to use for repair and how to calculate the quantity?

For the repair of a soft roof, the materials are not difficult to choose. It is enough to have a list of the most suitable options for this purpose and check when choosing compatibility with already existing roofs on the table. It usually provides sellers of building stores.

List of materials suitable for repair

Check out the list of the most requested materials for repair work:

• Ruberoid
• Technoelast
• Uniflex
• Glass elast
• Isoelast
• Isoplast
• Breplayst.
  

  Important! When buying a material, we will note that the material with a protective spript is suitable for the top layer, the thickness of which is 4-4.5 cm, for the inner is quite 3-3.5 cm of density.

How to make a repair estimate?

The need for the estimate occurs mainly when performing major repairs. In this case, proceed to count only after removing the previous coating to clearly define the entire list of necessary materials, including hydro, steam, thermal insulation.

Important! The rational solution even with overhaul will be the use of the previous roof as a lining carpet.

When drawing up the calculated sheet, consider the following recommendations:

1. Measure the roof area that requires updates.
2. Calculate the amount of consumables to perform work, taking into account its width and length parameters.
3. To the resulting result, add 10-20% of the overrun.
4. Clean the roof area where the screed update is required.
5. Perform the calculation of the cement-sand mixture to fill these places.
   

   Important! When choosing a purchase place, consider the delivery conditions. Often more advantageous is the proposal of stores with a medium-level pricing policy, the cheapest value of the main purchase, which overlaps the high cost of transporting the goods. Pay attention to stocks at the height of the construction season not only on materials, but also on the necessary tools.

Scheme of device and repair of soft roof

Consider the scheme of the roof device decorated with a soft material to clearly imagine the scope of work and the principle of the protective mechanism.

Preparatory work

Like any other process, the roof repair from soft material requires mandatory preparation that is not limited to the selection of tools for work. It has its own features of technology, without performing all the actions to eliminate the destruction of the roof will be in vain.

Stick in the following sequence:

1. Remove the snow from the roof with a wooden shovel if the repair is urgently required in winter.
   

   Important! In the absence of an emergency, planning all the work on the renewal of the roofing space into the warm dry season (the air temperature must be not lower than + 5C).

2. Clean the roof from dirt and dust by a broom.
3. Fill with water.
4. Wait for dried.
5. Make a chalk of places in which water is not glass.
6. Wait until the surface is completely dry.
7. Treat marked places with bitumen mastic, leveling roofing space.
   

   Important! All the above-described actions refer to the repair process, in which the old material is not deleted.

With the overhaul of soft roof, do it yourself with the replacement of the coating, do the following:

1. Remove the old roofing material.
2. Clean the surface from garbage carefully.

Repair of minor coating damage

With small areas of damage, it is enough to perform local repair of a patch type.

To do this, perform the work, adhering to the following recommendations:

1. Remove the rot, plants, detached particles.
2. Make crushed cuts in places of blinking and providing material.
3. Remove all trash inside the resulting hole.
4. Drain with a burner or construction dryer not only the outer part of the surface, but also inside the hole.
5. Make the cutting material according to the dimensions of the damaged surface.
6. Loom to mastic.
7. Enclose material.
8. At the edges, treat the burner or more tightly press the material to the surface to provide a solid grip around the edge.
   

   Important! Very often, the cause of the occurrence of leaks is precisely poorly glued edges, under which water is collected during operation. It gradually destroys the entire roofing pie, expanding the area of \u200b\u200bdamage.

9. Mix a bitumen mastic again.
10. Cross the roller.
11. Enclose another layer of material by similar technology.
    

    Important! Second layer of material, glue in places that are subjected to increased destructive effects of the environment or with deep excavations of the formed funnels, depadies.

12. Review the applied video to correct defects with a soft roof.

Overhaul of soft roof

This process is more laborious and will require a preliminary planning of its actions.

Important! All work perform in a timely manner, correctly calculate the processing area possible at a time.

Instruction:

1. Check the integrity of the heat, hydro and vaporizolation layer.
2. Replace if necessary.
3. Prepare the cement-sandy solution according to the instructions on the package.
4. Make a screed.
5. Wait for complete drying.
6. Drive the primer.
7. Load all the roofing space of mastic.
8. Remove the protective film from the inside of the roofing material.
9. Place a new material.
   

   Important! To perform the installation of a new soft roof, enlist the minimum 1 assistant support. In this case, the performance will be convenient and correct.

10. When using a roll material, roll it up, preheated the inner surface with a gas burner.
    

    Important! Heat only the gap that can be laid at a time.

11. Subsequent strips of soft roof laying the bracket 10-20 cm.
    

    Important! Please note the most convenient technology: 1 person rolls the roll and presses the laid carpet for maximum tightness, the second - the surface of the mastic and heats up.

12. Carefully treat all the joints adjacent to the vertical protractions of walls, pipes, chimneys.
    

    Important! All hard-to-reach places make up a solid sheet, and not by piping.

13. Treat all edges in complex places with an increased load of assessment sealant.
