Find the cracked shingles and pry them with a flat pry bar to expose the underside. Apply a good amount of sealant on the underside of the crack and attach it to the roof. The sealant should prevent water from entering again. For heavily damaged shingles, remove them and install new ones instead.Nov 7, 2010
How do I fix a leaking porch?
The fix could be as simple as caulking a joint or crack to properly flashing the joint where the siding and porch intersect. If the leak is where the siding and the porch meet, the short-term fix is caulking the joint for now, but plan on installing proper flashing later.May 4, 2011
What is the most common cause of roof leaks?
Most roof leaks are caused by one of five common factors: people, issues with seams, neglect, rooftop equipment, and weather. Prevention is of course better than repair. Once you get to know the main offenders, you can develop a strategy to avoid problems before they arise.
Can a roof leak just once?
You might have seen a leak once and figured that the problem was solved when it didn't happen during the next rainstorm. Roof leaks typically do not resolve on their own. Instead, a single water leak is a sign that you'll likely have problems in the future.
