 Simple DIY Roof Leak Repair Technique |
 |
A leaking roof can cause significant damage if not fixed quickly, but many leaks can be repaired without professional help. With a few basic tools and some know-how, you can tackle common roof leaks yourself.
Replace Damaged Shingles
Damaged or missing shingles are a common cause of roof leaks. When shingles crack, break, or blow off, they leave gaps where water can enter. To fix this:
Remove the damaged shingle: Use a flat pry bar to lift the shingle above the damaged one. Pull out the nails holding the broken shingle in place and slide it out.
Install a new shingle: Slide a new shingle into place and secure it with roofing nails. Make sure the nails are flat and the shingle is properly aligned with the others.
Seal with roofing cement: Apply a small amount of roofing cement under the edges of the shingle to ensure a watertight seal.
