Looking for a metal roof sealant to achieve excellent waterproofing?

Metal roofs are designed to be long lasting and can last fairly long if properly care and maintained for. Remember to continue to maintaining your metal roof as this will help you avoid missing a small crack that could lead to a large leak after one hard rain. So there are some tips to keep your metal roof leak repair and make it looking great for many years to come.

Inspect and Clean Regularly

Inspect your roof regularly at scheduled inspections throughout the year.Scheduled or Seasonal inspections are the core of roof maintenance especially in the areas where there are three to four distinct seasons throughout the year. Roof inspections should be the norm after storms and hail damage because even severe rain can damage your roof. Roofs should be cleaned once a year to make sure the roof gutters are clean form debris, leaves and any other kind of loose material that cause water ponding and ice-dams to form.

Ensure that Different Metals Do Not Touch

If different kinds of metal come in contact with each other while they are wet, they will corrode. For example, copper pipes projecting through sheet metal will eventually rust at the point of contact. There are coating products available on the market to prevent this kind of contact.

Repair Scratches

Minor roof scratches may not be a big issue however, if they are not repaired water may pool into these uneven surfaces and rusting will occur.  To repair scratches, pour a small amount of mineral spirits on a clean cloth and use it to remove any debris from the scratches. After the area dries, take a small paintbrush and cover the scratched area with an appropriate color of metal touch-up paint. You can then re-coat the metal roof with EPDM Liquid Rubber for additional protection.

Remove Rust

Rust spots should be cleaned and sanded down first with a cleanser and then scrubbed lightly using sandpaper. Also don’t use wire brush on rusted metal roof. Once the rust is removed apply a primer and then apply metal roof coating appropriate for the metal roof.

Repair Dents

Sometimes dents may be popped out on the underside of the roof. Repairing dents in a metal roof requires specialized material and it’s not the average DIY job so you may need to call professionals.

Consider a Protective Elastomeric Coating

Metal roof coatings like Elastomeric coatings can further increase the lifespan of the roofing system. Currently elastomeric roof coatings are available in variety of colors and they provide water proofing, reduce sound and also beautify your roof. The time spend on the roof is worth the investment as it makes your roof water proof and make it last longer.
