What’s the condition of your roof? It’s time to check

The roof provides protection from the weather and negligence to its repair may bring big damage. It prevents the home from the harsh weather so it is imperative to keep an eye on its maintenance. The roof is the upper part that is out of the sight, therefore most of us do not think about its cleanliness or repair. Regular inspection of the roof maintains it as well as increases the life expectancy of the overall house. Roof maintenance is not a difficult task but it will be good if you call the professional for check or seek professional advice.

 

Check the ventilation:

Vents are important as they keep the proper circulation of the air inside the house. Closed vents may build up trash around which can damage the roof from inside. Moreover, the moisture caused by the blockage will give place to the plants that grow in humid places. Check the vents frequently so that you could not experience other problems.

 

The growth of moss:

Mosses mostly nest in the shady areas of the roofs that are covered with tiles. These are small plants with no flowers. If you notice this sort of growth on the roof, clean it immediately. It may seem like they are harmless but in fact, mosses are the chief source of moisture that is absorbed by the tiles and eventually damage them. You can brush off the mosses easily with a broom on any nice weather day.

 

Drainage pipes:

These pipes run down the water especially in the season of rainfall. If there is any barrier to proper drainage, chances of the roof and inner wall damage will rise. Persistent leakage or complete blockage both lead to the moisture absorbance by the roof and walls that will make them frail and susceptible to bigger damage. Different materials for pipes are available as steel, iron, zinc, PVC, and others. It is recommended to use the material of the pipes as required.

 

Roof tiles:

With time or depending on the weather, roof tiles become cracked or broken. You can go up the roof and check for the damaged tiles for a full view. But be careful and prepared before going on the roof. Wear shoes of good gripping and take a ladder and ropes for safety. If you are not feeling comfortable in doing the inspection by yourself, call the professionals. They will do their job with proficiency and give useful advice for maintenance.

 

General inspection of any damage:

Now it’s time to finally check the roof from each aspect. Spot any water patch or circle, any stain of rot or growth and tiles if they move from the actual place. There are many protective methods to keep the loft insulated and away from damage. These methods keep the roof safe and your bills cost low.

10 Plumbing Mistakes To Avoid

Drain clogging or leaked pipes? We often think of ourselves as a professional for solving these small plumbing problems. But in reality, we do not have any sort of training in setting wrong faults to right. With little or no knowledge of plumbing we only make the problem worst and devastating for ourselves. In this blog, you can read about common mistakes in plumbing.

 

1- Using Wrong Tools:

There are different types of plumbing work and each requires a separate set of working tools. At home, we generally do not have right tools to work or fix a problem. Plumbing jobs require specific tools and techniques to restore any problem. Call the professional as they have knowledge and expertise in doing tasks.

 

2- Poor Drain Slope:

Perfectly angled drain slope causes the drain pipe to take away water and solid waste properly. If the pipe is over sloped (i.e greater than ½ inch per feet) the solid will remain behind causing the clog of waste and liquid will flow as liquid flows faster than solid. The ideal slope is ¼ in per feet.

 

3- No Traps and Vents:

Traps and vents are there for keeping a barrier between living space and sewage system. The trap is also important to keep the vermin and toxic gases away. A-P shape vent is most appropriate for sink drains.

 

4- No Proper Vent for Combustion Air: 

Especially in the basement, heating installations and other appliances do not get sufficient space for venting out harmful combustion gases. An open space should be left according to the requirement for the exhaustion of bad air.

 

5- Out of Reach Clean-Outs: 

Clean-outs are usually needed at the base of each sanitary stack. Inaccessible clean-outs make it difficult for cleaners to fully do the cleaning jobs. Adequate space must be maintained for ease in cleaning.

 

6- Flat Venting:

An improperly installed dry vent can lead to the trapping of dirt or the sediment in the pipe. Dry and wet vent are related to air system and clogging of pipe creates a barrier for fresh air to flow in and dirty air to vent out.

 

7- Temperature and Pressure Relief Vales: 

The water heater has the installation of pressure and temperature devices. Without these protective devices, the failed thermostat will show rise in pressure leading the tank to burst and hot water to flow out.

 

8- Connection of Unrelated Pipes:

Metal pipes should be used that do not interact with each other in an appropriate manner or otherwise they will cause early corrosion, breaking and other faults.

 

9- Improper Air Gaps:

To prevent a mixing of clean and wastewater, a suitable distance should be maintained between flood lines and water spouts.

 

10- Spaces Around Toilets: 

An ideal placement of toilet is 18 inches away from the front wall and 15 inches from the side walls.
