How to renovate the roof of an old rural house

The old rural brick house is one of the traditional forms of construction in China, and this kind of house has been eroded by wind and rain for a long time, and often has problems such as leaking roofs and falling tiles. Therefore, it is necessary to renovate the roof of the old rural house.

First, the roof surface needs to be cleaned of debris. Brooms and pickaxes can be used to clean up the hard debris and make the roof surface clean and tidy.

Secondly, the structure of the lower roof of the roof needs to be inspected. If any wood is found to be rotten, it needs to be replaced in time. Also, the insulation and waterproofing need to be checked.

Next, the old shingles need to be organized. It is important to select good quality, strong tiles and splice the refurbished tiles with the old ones so that the old and new tiles blend well together. At the same time, replace the tiles that need to be replaced one by one.

Then, a waterproof coating needs to be applied to the roof surface to protect the house from rain. When applying the waterproof coating, use tools to apply it evenly on the roof surface and pay attention to the thickness of the coating.

Finally, the renovated roof needs to be inspected. Be careful to observe whether there are gaps between the tiles, if there are gaps need to be sealed again. At the same time, look out for any drips or water stains and clean them up if necessary as well.

In short, the roof renovation of old rural houses is a tedious job that needs to be done by professionals. People must pay attention to safety when carrying out roof renovation to prevent accidents.
