INew Orleans (WVUE)-Imimoya enamandla yase-Ada ishiye umonakalo omkhulu obonakalayo eluphahleni olujikeleze le ndawo, kodwa iingcali zithi abanini bezindlu kufuneka baqaphele ngononophelo ukuqinisekisa ukuba akukho monakalo ufihlakeleyo kwixesha elizayo.
Kwiindawo ezininzi ezikumzantsi-mpuma weLouisiana, umbala oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ubonakala kakhulu. U-Ian Giammanco ungummi waseLouisiana kwaye usosayensi wemozulu ophandayo kwi-Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety (IBHS). Lo mbutho uvavanya izixhobo zokwakha kwaye usebenza ukuphucula izikhokelo zokunceda ukumelana neentlekele zemvelo. UGiammanco uthe: “Okokugqibela yeka lo mjikelo wokutshatyalaliswa nokuphazamiseka kokufuduka. Sikubona ngenxa yemozulu embi unyaka nonyaka.”
Nangona uninzi lomonakalo womoya obangelwe yi-Ida lucacile kwaye ludla ngokuba yintlekele, abanye abanini bezindlu banokufumana ulwazi olungqubanayo malunga nendlela yokujongana neengxaki zophahla ezibonakala zincinci. “I-Ada ibangele umonakalo omkhulu wophahla, ikakhulu ii-asphalt shingles. Olu luphahla oluqhelekileyo,” utshilo uGiammanco. “Apho ungabona i-liner, kwaye ne-plywood roof deck kufuneka itshintshwe.” Uthe.
Iingcali zithi nokuba uphahla lwakho lubukeka luhle, akufanelekanga ukuba uhlolwe ngobuchwephesha emva kwemimoya efana ne-Ada.
UGiammanco uthe: “Ngokuyintloko yiglue sealant. Iglue sealant inamathela kakuhle xa intsha, kodwa njengoko iguga kwaye idlula kubushushu bemvula. Nokuba lilifu ngokwalo kunye nokuguquguquka kobushushu, banokulahlekelwa ngamandla okuxhasana.
UGiammanco ucebisa ukuba ubuncinane umntu omnye ophahleni enze olu hlolo. Uthe: “Xa sithe sahlaselwa yinkanyamba. Nceda uze ujonge. Kusenokwenzeka ukuba uyazi ukuba uninzi lwee-roof unions luyenza simahla. Abalungisi banokunceda ngezicwangciso.”
Ubuncinane, ucebisa abanini bezindlu ukuba bajonge kakuhle ii-rafters zabo, “Ii-asphalt shingles zinomlinganiselo othile womoya, kodwa ngelishwa, kwiinkanyamba amaxesha ngamaxesha, ezi zilinganiso ngokwazo azibalulekanga kangako. Masiqhubeke. Olu hlobo lokusilela oluqhutywa ngumoya, ingakumbi kwiziganeko zomoya ezithatha ixesha elide.”
Uthe i-sealant iya konakala ngokuhamba kwexesha, kwaye kwiminyaka emalunga nemi-5, ii-shingles zisenokuwela emoyeni onamandla, nto leyo ebangela iingxaki ezinkulu, ngoko ke ngoku lixesha lokuba siphande.
Imigangatho yophahla eqinisiweyo ifuna ukutywinwa okuqinileyo kophahla kunye nemigangatho yezipikili eqinisiweyo.
