Is your Metal Building Roof Leaking?

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

Metal or steel buildings roofs are directly exposed to the scorching heat and other vagaries of weather and climate, leaving them damaged quite easily. Getting a metal roof repaired can be troublesome if not handled in time. Fixing the leak right away is the best deal and the task begins with finding the inconspicuous source for the leak in the steel building roof.

In order to find the leak, you need to closely inspect your roof. Do not leave the areas that need utmost attention like the J-rail, the flashing around vents, pipes and skylights, the seams, rumble-buttons and the roof sealant.

How to patch the leak?

Once you’ve spotted the hole responsible for the leak, you shall need the following tools & materials:

  • a piece of galvanized metal
  • sheet metal screws
  • butyl tape
  • roof coating
  • caulk
  • flexibility putty knife

Remember that roof is an essential part of steel buildings and its maintenance is as significant as any other part of a metal building, may be more.

Following are certain steps that you should take note of in order to repair your metal building roof.

Steps to patch the hole:

  1. Clean the area scrapping off flakes or loosen the metal roof coating with flexible putty knife.
  2. Apply the butyl tape to the perimeter of the area that needs to be patched up.
  3. Cut a patch out of galvanized metal overlapping the hole, exactly above the butyl tape
  4. Pre-drill holes in the galvanized metal. Make sure, you don’t drill the trusses and to start with, you can place the screw every two inches and if it’s not tight enough, put a screw every one inch.
  5. Finally seal around the edges of the patch and the screws with caulk.
  6. When the caulk dries, cover it up with a roof coating.

Fixing up the leak as soon as you spot one is quite essential because if you don’t do that it might affect the the other aspects of your steel building like insulation. So, fix up your roof right away if you think it has a hole, starting with the close inspection of the metal building roof.
