Upon expecting the inside of the church it was obvious there was 2 separate leaks. One on the upper roof and one on the lower front roof. We had difficulty getting on the metal roof due to weather so we had to do the inspection / work over a 2 day period when it was safe to get on the roof. The following is what we found and what we did.
How we are going to fix leaks on this metal roof
Table of contents
- Several areas water could come in
- Leak at the steeple of the church
- Rusting metal panels that are compromised
- Rusting metal panels have gaps and cracks

Once on the upper roof it was obvious that where the cross met the roof was definitely leaking.
To fix this we will remove the old pipe boot and clean the area very well. Then we will add a layer of ALDO roof coating, then a layer of a Kevlar style fabric and then 2 more layers of ALDO. This will create a solid rubber coating around this area that is almost impervious to uv rays. The red circle represents the area we will coating in ALDO.

Along this side of the roof the metal panels came up to be not wide enough towards the top of the roof which means they started the metal panels crooked or the top of the roof is a bit wider than the bottom. So they had to add a piece of metal to make up that distance. There are cracks and gaps between the metal panels that need to be coated as well. I outlined this area in red.
