Not many of you are aware of the steps involved in concrete roof repairs, right? Here I just want to share the tips on this area so that fellow houseowners can decide on the best remedial measure for their concrete roof.
A concrete roof is constructed using concrete and reinforced with steel reinforcement bars so that the roof can carry all the load on it. In reality, concrete is porous with many voids. The sizes of the voids depend on the how dense the concrete is. The naked eye cannot see the voids but water can seep into concrete through these voids.
Water inside the concrete can get in contact with the steel reinforcement bars and help start corrosion. When rust is formed on the steel reinforcement bars, the concrete will crack and fall off. Normally the concrete at the bottom surface of the roof will start first to crack and fall down.
It can be dangerous if the cracked concrete fall down and hit you and your family. Not only that, water seeping inside your house can damage your eletrical fittings. That is why you must carry out a concrete roof repair that is economical and effective.
