I-New Orleans (WVUE) -Umoya onamandla we-Ada ushiye umonakalo omkhulu obonakalayo ophahleni endaweni, kodwa ochwepheshe bathi abanikazi bezindlu kufanele babheke ngokucophelela ukuze baqinisekise ukuthi azikho izinkinga zomonakalo ezifihliwe esikhathini esizayo.
Ezindaweni eziningi eziseningizimu-mpumalanga yeLouisiana, ukukhanya okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka kugqame kakhulu emkhathizwe. U-Ian Giammanco ungowokuzalwa e-Louisiana futhi uyisazi sesimo sezulu esicwaningayo se-Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety (IBHS). Inhlangano ihlola izinto zokwakha futhi isebenzela ukuthuthukisa imihlahlandlela ukusiza ukumelana nezinhlekelele zemvelo. UGiammanco uthe: “Ekugcineni misa lo mjikelezo wokucekela phansi kanye nokuphazamiseka kokufuduka. Sibona isimo sezulu esingesihle unyaka nonyaka.”
Nakuba umonakalo omkhulu womoya obangelwa i-Ida usobala futhi uvame ukuba yinhlekelele, abanye abanikazi bezindlu bangase bathole ulwazi olungqubuzanayo mayelana nendlela yokubhekana nezinkinga zophahla ezibonakala zizincane. “I-Ada idale umonakalo omkhulu ophahleni, ikakhulukazi ama-shingles etiyela. Lesi yisimbozo esijwayelekile sophahla,” kusho uGiammanco. Lapho ungabona i-liner, ngisho nophahla lwamapulangwe kufanele lushintshwe. Uthe.
Ochwepheshe bathi ngisho noma uphahla lwakho lubukeka luhle, akufanelekile ukuthola ukuhlolwa kochwepheshe ngemva kwemimoya efana ne-Ada.
UGiammanco uthe: “Eqinisweni i-glue sealant. I-Glue sealant inamathela kahle uma iyintsha, kodwa njengoba iguga futhi ithola konke ukushisa kwemvula. Ngisho noma kuyifu ngokwalo kanye nokushintshashintsha kwezinga lokushisa, bangakwazi Ukulahlekelwa ikhono lokusekelana.
U-Giammanco uncoma ukuthi okungenani oyedwa osophahleni enze ukuhlola. Uthe: “Uma sinesigameko sesiphepho. Ngicela uze uzobheka. Kungenzeka ukuthi uyazi ukuthi izinyunyana eziningi zophahla zikwenza mahhala. Abalungisi bangasiza futhi ngezilungiselelo.”
Okungenani, weluleka abanikazi bezindlu ukuthi babheke kahle amapulangwe abo, "I-asphalt shingles ithwala isilinganiso somoya esinikeziwe, kodwa ngeshwa, eziphepho ngezikhathi ezithile, lezi zilinganiso ngokwazo azibalulekile kangako. Asiqhubeke. Lolu hlobo lokwehluleka oluqhutshwa umoya, ikakhulukazi emicimbini yomoya ethatha isikhathi eside.”
Uthe i-sealant izokwehliswa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, futhi phakathi neminyaka engaba ngu-5, ama-shingles angase ahlasele uma kunomoya onamandla, okubangela izinkinga ezinkulu kakhulu, ngakho manje yisikhathi sokuphenya.
Izindinganiso zophahla eziqinisiwe zidinga ukuvalwa okuqinile kophahla kanye nezindinganiso eziqinile zezinzipho.
