So you have a leaky roof… you know that water is coming in but you don’t exactly know where or how. How will you know where the leak is and how to fix it? Well that’s what will be discussed in this article today.
So the very first thing you’ll want to do is start to look for soft spots on your roof and then go into your attic to discover where the leak is coming from. Once you discover where the source of the leak is coming from, you have to then take steps in order to remedy the situation. First you will want to get tar paper and ice guard, as well as enough shingle bundles to repair the soft spot. Rip the surrounding area around the soft spot and then the paper as well. Once the afflicted area is removed, you must then replace the old paper and ice guard with the new, and then you can start laying down the shingles that are the right size in comparison with what you removed.
Once that is completed, keep an eye over the coming weeks and make sure that the spot is properly sealed. Keeping these helpful tips in mind will help your home to continue to be a safe environment.
