Common reasons to request help
- Loose or backed-out fasteners
- Failed sealant at seams
- Leaks around penetrations
- Dented or damaged panels
- Flashing problems at walls and edges
Common metal-roof leak points
Potential sources include exposed fasteners, standing seams, end laps, penetrations, closures, flashing, edge details and areas where incompatible materials were applied.
Repair materials must match the system
Metal roofing moves with temperature. Repair products and fastening methods should be compatible with the panel type, coating and movement of the existing system.
When panel replacement is considered
Severely damaged panels, extensive corrosion, repeated seam failures or broad installation problems may require more than spot sealing.
