Types of Roof Sealants We Use
We use different roof sealants based on the roof type and weather conditions. Each sealant type offers unique benefits like flexibility, durability, or water resistance. Choosing the right one helps protect your roof and extend its life.
Acrylic and Elastomeric Sealants
Acrylic and elastomeric sealants are water-based and reflect sunlight well. They are great for reducing roof temperature, which can lower energy costs. These sealants are flexible, allowing them to expand and contract with roof movements without cracking.
We use acrylic for roofs with good drainage because it doesn’t stand up well to ponding water. Elastomeric sealants provide stronger waterproofing and can last several years with proper application. Both options are easy to apply and clean up with water, making maintenance simple.
Silicone Sealants
Silicone sealants are known for their excellent water resistance and durability. They remain flexible over time and won’t break down under harsh sunlight or rain. This makes them a good choice for flat or low-slope roofs where water can pool.
Silicone does not absorb water, so it prevents leaks effectively. It also resists mold and mildew growth, keeping roofs healthier. However, silicone can be harder to apply and may require professional equipment for best results.
Polyurethane Options
Polyurethane sealants offer strong adhesion and toughness. They are highly resistant to impacts and harsh weather, making them ideal for roofs exposed to extreme conditions. This sealant sticks well to many surfaces, including metal, wood, and concrete.
We use polyurethane where a durable, long-lasting seal is needed. It tends to be more expensive but provides superior protection against cracks and leaks. Polyurethane also holds up well against UV rays, which reduces the chance of damage.
Our Roof Sealing Process
We focus on careful steps to ensure your roof gets the best protection. Every stage is done with attention to detail and the right tools. This helps the seal last longer and shields your home from damage.
Initial Inspection and Assessment
We start by checking your roof thoroughly. Our team looks for cracks, holes, and areas where water has gathered. We also check the condition of existing roofing materials. This helps us know exactly what needs sealing and how much sealant to use. Our inspection includes measuring the roof area and noting any repairs needed before sealing. We take photos and record details to plan the work carefully. This step ensures no hidden problems get missed.
Surface Preparation Methods
Preparing the roof surface is key to good sealing. We clean the roof using power washing to remove dirt, moss, and old coatings. This makes the surface smooth and ready to hold the sealant tightly. We also dry the roof completely before starting. If we find damaged areas, we repair or replace those parts. This prevents leaks and helps the sealant stick well over time.
Application of Sealant
We apply the sealant using brushes, rollers, or sprayers depending on the roof type. Our sealants are chosen for durability and water resistance. We carefully cover every part, including edges and seams. The sealant is spread evenly in one or more coats, depending on the product and roof condition. We allow each layer to dry before applying the next. This builds a strong, flexible barrier against weather.
Final Quality Checks
After sealing, we inspect the roof again to find any missed spots or thin areas. We touch up those places to ensure full coverage. We also check that the sealant has bonded well with the surface. We guide you on how to care for your sealed roof and when to schedule future inspections. Our goal is to secure your roof’s performance for years without problems.
Signs Your Roof Needs Sealing
We often see roofs showing early signs that sealing is needed to protect them. One clear sign is visible cracks or blisters on the roof surface. These can let water in and cause damage inside your home.
Another important sign is water stains or leaks in the ceiling or attic. This usually means the roof is allowing moisture to pass through. Sealing can stop further leaks and protect your home’s structure.
If your roof looks faded or chalky, it may have lost its protective layer. This makes it less able to repel water and resist the sun’s heat. Sealing can restore this protection.
We also watch for loose or missing granules on the shingles. This wear can expose the roof to damage. Sealing helps bond these granules and extends the roof’s life.
If you notice any of these, it’s a good idea to get your roof inspected by us for sealing. This helps keep your roof strong and leak-free.
