Tips to Prevent Corrugated Iron Leaks in the Rainy Season

Corrugated zinc is one of the roofing materials that is often used in Indonesia because it is lightweight, durable, and easy to install. However, the rainy season often brings challenges such as leaks in zinc roofs. Here are some tips that you can do to prevent corrugated zinc from leaking and keep your home comfortable.

1. Check the Condition of the Zinc Regularly
Corrugated zinc that is starting to rust or crack is one of the main causes of leaks. Therefore, carry out routine checks, especially before the rainy season arrives.

Tips:

• Pay attention to the joints and nails that are often weak points.
• Replace zinc that is too rusty or has holes.

2. Use Anti-Rust Coating Paint
A protective layer such as anti-rust paint is very important to extend the life of corrugated zinc and prevent corrosion due to rainwater.

Tips:

• Use zinc-aluminum based paint for more durable results.
• Make sure the zinc surface is clean and dry before applying paint.

3. Make Sure the Roof Joints are Tight
Leaks often occur in the joints or stacks of zinc. If they are not tight, rainwater can seep in.

Tips:

• Use high-quality roofing sealant or glue on the joints to ensure they are waterproof.
• Install corrugated iron with a minimum overlap of 10 cm so that there are no gaps.

4. Use Special Roofing Nails for Iron
Ordinary nails tend not to be waterproof and often cause leaks. Use special roofing nails that are equipped with rubber or protective plastic.

Tips:

• Make sure the nails are installed correctly, not too tight to damage the iron.
• Check the condition of the rubber on the nails regularly to ensure it is not worn out.

5. Clean the Roof Regularly
Dirt such as leaves, moss, and dust can block the flow of rainwater, so that water can pool and accelerate corrosion.

Tips:

• Clean the roof at least twice a year, especially before the rainy season.
• Use cleaning tools such as a broom or water hose to clean hard-to-reach areas.

6. Pay Attention to the Roof Slope
The slope of the iron roof greatly affects the ability of water to flow smoothly. If it is too shallow, water can pool and cause leaks.

Tips:

• Make sure the roof slope is at least 15 degrees to ensure good water flow.
• Consult an expert if the roof slope needs to be adjusted.
