How we are going to fix leaks on this metal roof

  1. 1
    Several areas water could come in

    Here are the areas we caulked that water could be penetrating the roof. The first noticeable place was the large crack running along the window sill and wall. This is a crack in a concrete wall running up the front wall of a church.

    Leak at the steeple of the church

    Once on the upper roof, it is evident that where the cross met, the roof was leaking. This is a close up view of a round pipe boot on a square metal.

    We will remove the old pipe boot and clean the area well to fix this. 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 coat in ALDO.

    Rusting metal panels that are compromised

    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 also need to be coated. I outlined this area in red.

    Rusting metal panels have gaps and cracks

    This site is very similar to the other side of the roof, and we are proposing to do the same thing and use ALDO to coat this section outlined in red to keep water from penetrating the roof. This is a view of metal roof panel that has a gap and pulling from the other panels. This is a rusted metal roof panel that is pulling away from the other panels.
