How does the repair of the apartment of the upper floor begins

Perhaps residents of new buildings do not yet know such problems as annual apartment renovation because, for example, an insufficiently insulated roof, but those who live in Khrushchevs or Stalinks have recently come close to this problem. Depreciation of residential premises led to moral obsolescence, and at the same time to partial or complete destruction of roofing structures. As a result of which the apartments of the upper floors in winter are distinguished by a special “decoration” of the corners in the form of a snow -iron, which gradually, with warming on the street, turns into wet spots, and then into mold. Therefore, before making the repair of the apartment on the top floor, it is necessary to raise the question in the housing and communal services about the restoration of the roof structure to the operational level, or take any measures on your own. Although, even if the housing and communal services immediately respond and start capital restoration work, which will include the installation of a new roofing, problems of this kind can still return due to insufficient insufficient. And the measures for the additional insulation of the roof and ceiling floors in most cases residents take upon themselves. What needs to be done so that in your apartment on the top floor it is always warm? First, explore ceiling floors for insulation. If there is no one, or it, in your opinion, is not enough, then you will have to go broke at least on basalt or mineral wool and lay it thoroughly, covering the most inaccessible corner places. The quality of your life in this apartment depends on the quality of your work. Ultimately, of course, the prices will be much higher for the repair of apartments, since it is necessary to fork out for “optional” materials for residents of the lower floors. But the result will not be long in coming, but will be revealed on the nearest frosty day. For the greatest efficiency, it is advisable to carry out such events jointly to all residents of apartments located on the top floor. If possible, you can even spray polyurethane foam to ceiling floors. He will play the role of good insulation and waterproofer in one person. Even if the housing and communal services cannot eliminate leaks in your roof, at least their result will not hit the walls of the upper apartments with their uncomplicated pattern. When the repair of the roof and its insulation is completed, you can proceed with additional insulation measures, but already indoors. During operation in the plaster layer, cracks formed on the ceiling, a special construction concrete mixture based on lime and cement, which is applied to a carefully prepared surface, is taken for their sealing.
