How to repair different types of roofing?
Roofing repairs are needed when a roof system is leaking, or the roof has been damaged in some way, such as a fallen tree or high winds. The type of roofing will dictate the materials and the method of repairs, so it is first necessary to determine which type of roofing is in place. Once the type of roofing has been established the materials can be purchased. There are typical procedures that are used for repairing different types of roofing.Wood shingles will dry out and crack over time and when this happens, the roof will leak. The repair can be accomplished by replacing a section of the roof or by repairing the leaky sections using aluminum shingles. Aluminum shingles can be slid under the wood shingles and will act as another surface to ship water. The holes can be spotted from below, in an attic area, and the daylight that seeps through will signify where the aluminum shingles need to be inserted. If the leak is confined to an area of damage, remove the damaged shingles and re-roof that area. Be sure to lace the new shingles into the existing to ensure the roofing system is continuous.Composition shingles cannot be patched in any way that will make a suitable repair. To repair a composition shingle roof, remove the damaged singles in an area larger than the actual damaged area, in order to allow for lacing into the old roofing. Be sure to apply two layers of felt roofing paper to the roof sheathing before installing the new composition shingles. The new shingles can be attached using staples or galvanized roofing nails.Spanish tiles and concrete tile roofing will break when hit by hard objects. When this happens it is necessary to remove and replace the damaged tiles. Be sure to extend the area of repair outward from the damaged section in order to ensure a suitable repair. In addition, it will be necessary to replace the heavy moisture barrier under the tiles. The area of the new barrier should overlap the existing moisture paper to ensure a good under-lay system. Roofing tiles are held in place using a single, galvanized nail that is made for the particular tile. A qualified salesperson will be able to recommend the correct nails to use for a particular type of tile. Do not walk on the new roofing tiles once they are in place, as this could cause them to crack, which will result in further repairs.
