Metal Roof Repair Q&A:
Q:
We have a commercial building with metal roof and as soon as we
fix the leak areas new leaks develop. They are in different areas.
What can I do to seal the area and what materials should you use.
A. In a
many cases, butyl sealant was originally used to seal seams and
rubber washered screws used to adhere panels. These materials may
have reached the point of drying out, and as the materials continues
to dry out, more leaks develop.
The
screws SHOULD have a crack free rubber sealing washer on them. If not replace
with roof screws with
sealing washers. Depending on the age, the sealing washer rubber
could be old and starting to fail -- and again new leaks continue to
develop over time. Usually screw size is increased one to two sizes
to assure a tight fit.
Depending on your roof material, different sealants can be used to
caulk the seams. Here is one many roofers use as it adheres well to
Kynar and siliconized roofing paints:
Duralink Metal Roof Sealant
Many
prefer seam sealant or seam tape for the seams, such as Eternabond
Webseal or Roofseal. This material is
VERY good but more expensive. Its also great for quick fixes to
problem areas:

any penetrations, we suggest re-flashing them with Master Flash

Formflex 6000 is very popular for recoating the metal roof once
major areas are treated. It will seal the screws that just have
minor leaks, and very small leaks in other areas. Then protect the
entire roof.

Often
the turbine vents are shot and also leak water. Turbine type vents
leak anyway with certain storm conditions. For improving the venting
and putting in permanent water-tight venting, try these:

Metal Roof Quick Repairs with Eternabond Tape:
Metal Roof Repair And Maintenance--The Easy Way
(courtesy Eternabond)
The
word metal is an extremely general one. When talking about metal
roofs, there are a variety of options to choose from, such as steel,
zinc alloys, aluminum and copper. There are coated metal roofs,
which are the colored ones you see. Additionally, metal roofs are
typically installed in one of two ways: as shingles or large
individual sheets. All metal roofs have seams where the pieces of
metal fit together. It is at these seams, and at penetrations
through the metal for vents, skylights, etc, and where the roofs
join a new plane like at the ridge, in the valleys, and along the
fascias that metal roofs start running into problems. Furthermore
metal roofs can rust through. In all cases, leaks are most prevalent
in older metal roofs, and roofs that were installed incorrectly.
Because leaks do occur, metal roofs require repair, restoration and
maintenance.
Metal roofs use sealants in the
installation process. The sealants that have been available in the
past do not last, getting hard, shrinking, loosing their elasticity
and dis-bonding over time. Today, however, there is an alternative to
the old butyls, asphalt and caulking sealants--it is a
MicroSealant called EternaBond. A MicroSealant is a very unique
chemistry formulated to be virtually invisible to the ravages of
nature. Eternabond was designed as the ultimate metal roof sealing
solution. Eternabond is a MicroSealant in an easy to use tape form,
and it is used in similar fashion--but provides a permanent fix to any
leak, regardless of the type of metal roof on which it is used.
EternaBond is quickly becoming the sealant of choice of professional
roofing technicians, and because recreational vehicle roofs are so
difficult to keep tight, EternaBond is now being used by over 25 RV
manufacturers in the manufacturing process.
Constructed with the most advanced
and aggressive MicroSealant adhesive available on the market today,
EternaBond, which has a built-in primer, requires minimal preparation
for it to be effectively used by even the most inexperienced novice.
Easy and fast to use, it is designed to withstand extreme hot and cold
temperatures and can expand upwards of 700 percent of its original
size. Combined with its UV stable backing, an EternaBond repair or
restoration is a permanent repair.
