Roof Repair Advice

My roof has had a leak for years. We have patched it and it still leaks. What can I do to fix or find the leak, besides replacing the roof?

Do you have a chimney? Our roof leaked. Had complete new roof put on. Still had a leak. After calling the roofer back and checking all the new roof work, he suggested the cracks in the chimney may be causing the problem. My son-in-law checked the chimney. Picked up bag of cement and patched the chimney...no more leaks. Just thought I would pass this on. Also although a leak may show up in one area, it could originate from anywhere. Good luck!

I heard a repair show one time and it suggested that one person observe where the leak was coming in at and another person go up on the roof and methodically run a water hose on each area of the roof until the first person sees the water leaking. Then you will know where the water is coming in at.

Have you been in the attic while it's raining. If not try it, maybe you can find the leak. You can also patch it with tar, good luck.
