Pitched roof: the ideal solution for a leaking garage roof

How do you get a leaking garage roof tight again? The mono-pitch roof structure is considered by many experts to be the ideal solution. Why is that?

Winter is tough on older garages – frost and precipitation can cause minor to major damage to old garages. The garage roof is also often affected, as it is particularly exposed to the weather conditions. This is particularly noticeable to some owners in spring.

However, leaks in the garage roof can be particularly dangerous for the garage. As soon as moisture gets into the garage, interior wall surfaces start to falter and objects stored inside can easily become moldy or start to rust. The garage roof must therefore be replaced in good time!

But how do you recognize a leaking garage roof?

If it is already dripping from the ceiling, the damage to the garage roof is already well advanced. It is therefore best to check the walls for damp spots much earlier and on a regular basis. Other signs of a leaking roof are

Sealing a garage roof – the “classic” way:

The classic basis for renovating a garage roof is simple roof waterproofing. To do this, the renovation experts at ZAPF remove the old, porous coating. A new layer of insulation then ensures that damaged areas are completely sealed again. Finally, this is sealed with a durable top coat. If you wish, you can also have the roof fitted with a temperature-insulating layer of gravel.

As an alternative to the classic solution, ZAPF also offers the “royal solution” by adding a console roof:

The mono-pitch roof is a roof structure that is mounted on top of the old flat garage roof. In this way, the structure functions like a hood, which ensures special durability and makes the garage roof weather-resistant. This variant of roof waterproofing also looks modern and dynamic to many observers.

Pitched roof – the advantages at a glance:

The slope allows rainwater to run off better.
The garage is visually enhanced by the new roof shape.
The additional roof structure protects the garage roof from environmental influences.
The sound-absorbing effect of the shed roof significantly reduces noise – such as heavy pattering rain.

Note: ZAPF carries out the roof renovation and the construction of the shed roof not only for older ZAPF garages, but of course also for all other prefabricated garages and brick garages!
