Home
sweet home. But this home will be hell if it got problem like leaky roof. It
creates a very uncomfortable stage in home. Minor roof repair can be done by
yourself rather than calling a professional for it. It saves both your time and
money. I am not saying that it is easy but you should try for this.
First
of all check your roof and spot the leaking point. Clean that place nicely.
Don’t stand near the damaged place. Stand at a safe distance from it or it will
get more damage to your leaky point. If you have shingles roof then remove the
damaged shingle by taking out the nails. After that place a new shingle and
nail each upper corner of it. Then cover every site of it with roof cement.
Roof cement is the basic product for repairing leaky roofs.
In the case of damaged
shake roofing remove the shake by using hammer and chisel. If the shake is in a
good figure for reuse, then just cutoff the old nails and use it like a new one
or just cut a new shake. Place it, nail it and then seal it with cement or
other caulking material. Most of the trouble starts from jointing area like
chimney and vent pipe. So check them regularly. If you notice cracks in there,
then repair it by using roof cement or other roof repairing materials which are
easily available in market.
If
the problem is out of your reach then just use temporary remedies like plastic
sheet and roofing paper to fix it and call a roof repair company like us to
help in sorting out the issue. Christmas time is coming, so there will be a
lots snow fall outside. So check out properly and enjoy your Christmas holiday.
