REPAIR YOUR LEAKY ROOF WITH THESE 4 PRODUCTS

We are in the middle of hurricane season right now. If you have a current roof leak, the situation will only get worse during the next two months. Your home is valuable, and you want to protect your investment. Replacing furniture and electronics damaged by water can be costly. It is much less expensive to repair your leaky roof now, then it will be when the situation gets worse with every new storm. Right now, the costs involved in roof repairs are relatively low. If you wait until after a damaging storm, costs for materials will rise. It is essential that you protect your home during hurricane season, and to do that you need to repair your leaky roof to guard against damage.

If you are just wondering, “is my roof leaking…?” or “how do you know if you have a roof leak…?”Sometimes it’s obvious to see that you have a leaking roof. You may notice water dripping or dark stains start to form on your ceiling. Sometimes the roof water leak is more subtle, showing up as a very small spot. But, it’s equally important to fix the roof leak as soon as possible to prevent more damage, because a bad roof leak will eventually require significant repairs both inside and outside your house.

 Here are 8 common signs to look for:

  1. Water stains or damp spots on your ceiling
  2. Moist drywall or paint around light fixtTures or electrical outlets
  3. Interior paint bubbling or peeling during hard rains
  4. Dripping sounds inside your home
  5. Water stains on rafters or on roof sheathing
  6. Loose or exposed nails on your roof
  7. Roof rot with discolored or excessively degraded shingles/galvanize
  8. Peeling paint or rotten areas under roof eaves

This is not an exhaustive list of signs that you may have a roof leak, but if you see one of these, it could point to a roof leak.

Products to fix roof leaks available at Rayneau stores:

1 – Roofer’s Choice Fibered Roof Coating

Perfect for flat roofs and exterior foundations, the Roofer's Choice 14 Fibered Roof Coating provides easy workability for a smoother application.
