How to Repair A Leaking Roof?
2. Roof Repairs
● Actually, the minor roof leaks may be repaired
without the help of a professional roofer.
● However, you should work on your roof on a day
when the roof is dry, to prevent accidents.
● Here are some common ideas for identifying and
fixing roof issues.
3. Inspect the Roof
● If your roof is slanted,
inspect areas on the roof
that are higher than
where the leak enters the
home.
● If you have an attic,
inspect it with a flashlight
for water stains, black
marks or mold.
4. Look For Damaged Roof
● Look for damaged, curled or missing shingles near
where the leak is coming in.
● Look closely for exposed roofing tacks, too.
5. Straighten The Roof Shingles
● In colder weather, this might require that you
soften the shingle edge with heat, such as an
electric hair dryer.
● Using a torch or other open flame heat source
isn't recommended since asphalt shingles may be
flammable, and regardless of whether they are
flame retardant or not, excess heat will ruin the
shingle.
6. Replace Damaged Shingles
● Remove the old shingle by lifting its edges and
prying out the nail.
● Scrape the area underneath it to remove any
leftover roofing cement.
● Slide the new shingle into place and drive 1 1⁄4 inch
(3.2 cm) galvanized roofing nails into each upper
corner, then cover the nail heads with roof
cement.
