We were contacted about a roof leak in a cabin that was coming in at the ceiling fan. We went out to the property and did a roof inspection finding several issues and fixing them all.
Repairing this metal roof
- 1Missing screw leaving a open hole
After seeing a hand full of very loose screws and raised ridge cap metal I noticed a area that had previously been caulked as I got closer I noticed that there was a screw missing where the caulk was leaving a wide open hole right at the top of the roof. The washer was still stuck in the caulk but no screw.
I filled the hole with sealant and put a heavier gauge screw in the hole
Go To Pin - 2Screws backing out
Along the edge of the ridge cap I found screws backing way out. There was also some random holes in the metal where someone had added a screw and missed wood so they took the screw out and left a open hole.
I pulled out the screw caulked all the holes and put the screw back in much tighter
Go To Pin - 3More screws backing out
This is wide spread through the roof. After fixing the main cause of the leak we like for our customers to get there money worth so I re-screwed down any and all loose screw I could see and get to. Here is some of those
