1. Tapered Insulation System
This method involves installing a tapered insulation system over the existing roof structure to create the correct slope.
Steps:
- Assessment: Determine the existing slope and the required slope for adequate drainage.
- Design: Develop a design plan that outlines the placement and thickness of the tapered insulation.
- Preparation: Clean the existing roof surface and repair any damages or weak spots.
- Installation: Install the tapered insulation panels, starting from the highest point and working towards the drains. Secure the panels according to the manufacturer’s guidelines.
- Covering: Apply a new roofing membrane or cover over the insulation to ensure a watertight seal.
Pros: Effective for creating a uniform slope, improves insulation, and can be installed over the existing roof.
Cons: Can be expensive and may require professional installation.
2. Adding a Slope with a Lightweight Screed
A lightweight screed is a layer of material (usually cement-based) that can be applied to create the desired slope.
Steps:
- Preparation: Clean and prepare the existing roof surface, repairing any damages.
- Primer: Apply a bonding primer to ensure proper adhesion of the screed.
- Mixing: Prepare the lightweight screed mix according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Application: Apply the screed starting from the high point of the roof, tapering it down towards the drains or edges.
- Curing: Allow the screed to cure as per the manufacturer’s recommendations.
- Waterproofing: Apply a waterproof membrane or coating over the cured screed.
Pros: Relatively cost-effective, can be done without removing the existing roof.
Cons: Adds weight to the roof structure, requires proper curing time.
3. Structural Adjustment
This method involves altering the roof’s structure to create the correct fall.
Steps:
- Assessment: Evaluate the current structural integrity and determine the necessary adjustments.
- Design: Develop a plan that may include adding new joists, adjusting existing joists, or adding purlins to create the desired slope.
- Construction: Remove the existing roof covering as needed to access the structure.
- Adjustment: Modify the roof structure according to the plan, ensuring the new slope directs water towards the drainage points.
- Inspection: Ensure the new structure is stable and compliant with building codes.
- Re-roofing: Install new roof decking and covering to create a watertight seal.
Pros: Provides a permanent solution, can improve the overall structural integrity.
Cons: Expensive, labor-intensive, and may require extensive construction work.
Each of these methods has its own advantages and disadvantages. The choice depends on factors such as budget, existing roof condition, and desired durability. Consulting with a professional roofer or structural engineer is advisable to determine the best approach for your specific situation.
