2 Ways to Repair a Leaky Old Metal Roof

Panel rusting and leaks due to slotting fastener holes have occurred on this 20-year-old thru-fastened metal roof.

Temporary Roof Coating Procedure:
When a thru-fastened metal roof starts to leak, coating the panel laps is a commonly-used quick fix. This "Band-Aid" approach may provide temporary relief at best. In time, the coating traps moisture and accelerates corrosion at the panel lap joint.


Prior to the coating application, all fasteners must be primed and prepared.

4 Years Later, Roof Coating Failure:
Thru-fastened roofs leak over time at the fastener locations. As the roof expands and contracts, the roof works back and forth at the fastener locations and creates a slot in the panel. This slot is the key source of leaks. Applying a coating does nothing to eliminate the movement. the roof is still vulnerable to leaks at these critical locations.
