Work done on the Roof.

On this page I will try to cover all of the things that I had to do to fix the Roof. This is a critical item that needs to be done early in the game. If you fail to fix it anything you repair on the inside will just be all undone by that dreaded water.

  • Finding the roof leaks it.
    • Ok, you say you have a leak and now you need to find it. You're scratching that skull of your's and you feel the hair coming out thinking "HOW DO I FIND THAT little or is a HUDGE LEAK".

      Here is the steps to take:

      1. Check the roof for weak spots.
      2. Check for cracks or splits in roof coating.
      3. Seal all cracks and recoat that area of the roof.
  • Fixing the roof leaks it.
    • Well here is what I did:

      I checked the roof for weak spots by climbing up onto the roof. Be careful doing this you don't want to fall off the roof. Also don't put your full weight down on any section of the roof until you test it for weakness. I did this by pressing down gentally in the area under test. When I was satified that it was in good shape I moved on until the whole roof was checked for weeknesses.

      Then I wire brushed and scraped all the seams to remove the old roof caoting and rust. Then I layed down a liberal coating of Kool Seal roof sealent on all of the seams and flashings. After this coating setup and was dry according to the manufacture directions I put on some of the Kool Seal roof coating.

      I used a brush to work the Roof Sealent into the seam cracks. Make sure you aply a liberal coating, you want to seal up all of the leaks.

      Then use a roller to aply the roof coating and make sure that you aply an even coating of it.

    • See that wasn't so bad was it. Though my way was the easy way. The trailers roof needed to be recoated and I took care of the leaks this way by redoing the whole roof.

      If your roof doesn't need to be recoated then check the whole roof for anything that looks like a crack or split in the roof coating. When you locate all of the defects follow the same basic way I did it for the whole roof. But this time you will only need to do it in the bad areas.
