Follow-maintenance building components intended to support components of the building are in good condition so that the building remains feasible functions. Follow the maintenance of the building is divided into several components, namely structural components, architecture, and spatial utilities outside. Principal component maintenance of building structures include:
(a) Maintain in good and regular structural elements of the building from the effects of corrosion, weather, humidity and loading beyond the limits of the structure.
(b) Maintain in good and regular elements of the protective structure.
(c) Conduct regular checks as part of preventive maintenance.
(d) Anticipate change and / or addition of function activity which can cause increased work load on the building, beyond the limits of the planned load.
(e) how maintenance and repairs the correct structure by officers who have the expertise and / or competence in the field
(f) Maintain a building that functioned according to the planned use.
As for the parts of the structural components that need attention in the maintenance of the building include:
Building Foundation
Building foundation serves to hold the load of existing buildings on it.
Technical maintenance:
1. Around the buildings or parts close to the foundation body labored to clean from the tree roots can damage the foundation.
2. Basic foundation must be maintained such that the water flowing around the foundation does not erode the soil around the foundation so that the same basic foundation into the soil surface.
3. For areas with a lot of termites, sprinkle or pour around the foundation with chemicals such as: Aldrien, Chlordane, Dieldrin, Heptaclor, Lindanef, etc.
Concrete Building Structures
Parts of buildings that use these materials are usually in construction poles, floor or slab or roof (DAK). Usually leaks that occur in the floor plate due to cracks in plate construction, so the room water or rain water to seep into it and out to other parts of the building as a leak.
Concrete Floor
Technical maintenance:
1. Clean dirt on the concrete surface evenly.
2. She returned with emulsion paints (coatings) or paint that is waterproof and acid on the surface.
Frame Roof Structure
Roof truss structure on the building construction is generally made of wood, then in the era of the 90s began to be known and used roof truss structure made of mild steel. Because it is a closed structure, so that the maintenance and upkeep of the roof frame structure more are preventiv.
Technical maintenance:
1. Fix immediately if found any leaky roof covering, to avoid going weathering the wood frame structure.
2. Perform periodic checks against possible attack by termites, which comes through the pipe wall or electrical installations.
3. Perform periodic visual observation by looking at the exterior, whether visible wavy or deflection occurs either on the roof or ceiling coverings indoors. If this happens immediately do the repair needs to be done.
Wall
Maintenance steps are performed:
1. Clean the surface of a wall of dust and dirt by using a broom and brush. For wall tile and marble can be cleaned with a mop and water.
2. Wash the walls, especially on the exterior walls can be done with a plastic brush and rinsed with clean water.
