Leak in roof of my aluminum screenhouse
-
Lee on Aug 13, 2015best bet is to have someone run the garden hose on the roof, start above where you think the problem is, and someone underneath looking for where the water is stating to run in,. Don't slump on the running time, may take a while to build up, Good Luck some leaks are very hard to find, this can give your a running-start to find the spot….Helpful Reply

FRED LEONARD on Aug 14, 2015I used a product called Kool Seal to paint the roof. Not only stopped leaks, but the room is now cooler because the product also insulates.Helpful Reply

DORLIS on Aug 14, 2015we had a sun room built and it leaks in a heavy rain. Found that the gutter on the house roof over fills in a heavy rain and the water runs under the roof and into the sun room. Original builder says not his problem. We are still trying to figure how to fix it.Helpful Reply

Karen V on Aug 14, 2015You need to find the source of leak for sure! Water can start coming in one place and out another.... far away from the entry point! Experienced with his issue once :(Helpful Reply

Barbara on Aug 14, 2015I had leaks in my screen room too. My son picked up a sealer tape from Home Depot and covered every seam and gutter edge. It's about 6" wide and covers 50 feet. You peel off the back paper and press it on. Awesome now, no leaks. The heat of the sun makes it stick more.Helpful Reply

Duv310660 on Aug 14, 2015Try poncing or otherwise applying the easily-cleanable powder of your choice, like ajax, talc, etc. on the inside of your room, starting from the leak site and moving 'uphill' as far as you can go. When it rains, the inside leak source will make a track down to the leak site that you're seeing. Where the water enters from the outside will either be there, or 'uphill' from there. I've used this on long stretches of water pipe; hopefully it will be of use to you.Helpful Reply

Barbara on Aug 15, 2015You can walk on mine, it is partially attached to the house so there is some support. This stuff is great, he just rolled it out a little at a time and pressed it on the best he could. The warm sun did the rest.Helpful Reply

JustMe on Aug 16, 2015Can't help you figure out how to find the leak, but try using silicone caulk (available at Home Depot) to patch up any holes. It's a quick easy fix.Helpful Reply
