Roof Leaks
|
Depending on how long your roof has leaked, it might already be too late to do anything other than replace it, especially if your roof has any split seams, sags or pockets that can trap water. These are good indications the interior structure is rotting away. There are a couple of things you can do however.
First, the least expensive is to reseal all roof seams including all roof vents, antennas and cable accesses. Prior to installing the new sealer, all the old roof sealant will have to removed and the surfaces properly prepared. Once this has been done you can start to reseal the roof. A trick to resealing a roof is to put the first coat of sealant on thinly, followed by another application in 24 hours. Check with your local RV repair shop for recommendations on which roof sealant to use as well as information on replacing your roof.
Another method you might want to look at is installing a liquid roof membrane, such as System 2000 Plus Roofing, which involves completely cleaning your existing roof as well as the removal of all existing old roof sealant. This is followed by the application of two coats of an acrylic solution which will create a continuous waterproof membrane over your RV’s roof. It comes with a 10-year warranty.
