Common Items Required for Flat Roof Repair

The repair specialist will ask you to keep a number of things ready. You will have to supply the items like roofing nails, roofing cement, utility knives, putty knives, towels and brooms to the roof contractor before repairing begins.

Steps to follow for flat roof repair

1– The repairing work should be performed in dry weather condition rather than in rainy season. Use a broom to sweep the roofing and make it clean and dirt/dust free.

2- Find the leak or crack on the flat surface of the roofing. Metal sheets used on the joint of the chimney and roof or a plumbing vent stack, also referred to as roof flashings, are the areas where small leaks or cracks develop more often.

3- Sweep away the dirt, leaves and loose-fitting gravel from the suspected area. It will make sure that all the potential damages get visible and the roofing cement applied on the roof surface will stick to it properly.

4– Cut and remove the damaged or cracked portion on the roof carefully. You need to cut through the crack on the top and keep its underneath unaffected. Try to cut it in a proper shape like a circle or rectangle. If there is any water, then allow it to go inside the crack.

5– Cut a replacement shingle in a similar pattern like the cut-out pieces. Take a putty knife and slide it under the edges of the shingle to apply roofing cement in a thin layer to it.

6- Spread the applied roofing cement on the cracked surface and seal it properly. While spreading the cement, you need to cover all the nail heads in order to make strong binding.
