What do you do if your roof springs a leak…???

Roof leaks are bound to happen, it doesn’t matter how much precautionary steps you take. The best thing you can do is damage control to extend the life of your roofing system.  If, there are multiple leaks it means that situation is worse and leaks have penetrated the underlying roofing deck. This situation demands calling for a certified roofing contractor and start damage control to avoid further damage to the roof. If you are lucky enough to have a single roof leak, you can fix it up by following certain steps and using the right materials e.g., EPDM Liquid Rubber.

Step 1: Find the Source of the Leak

Finding a roof leak is a tricky task because each roof is angled at some position which allows water to travel to a different location, away from its point of origin making it difficult to find exact location of roof leak. Water leaks may be due to a missing shingle, a broken flashing or perforation in your EPDM roofing. You can use a garden hose to spray small amounts of water on different parts of the roof and see if it helps to locate the source of the leak.

Step 2: Fix the Roof Leak

Once you have identified the source of leak the next step is to make repairs. If your roof is missing a shingle than you have to make a replacement and if you have a hole in your EPDM roofing system, then you’ll need to apply a coat of Liquid Rubber to the damaged area. Fixing roof leaks with EPDM Liquid Rubber is quite easy as it is a Do-It-Yourself product, however if the problem looks bigger always seek professional help.
