When a rooftop made of foam gets a crack inside of it, there will be a need to make a quick repair so moisture does not become trapped inside the crevice. Failing to patch a crack in a timely manner can lead to leaking of water into the home.
Here are some of the steps Roofers Severna Park MD will take when fixing a foam rooftop.
The Roof Will Be Cleaned To Reveal Cracking
It is important that the rooftop is cleaned in its entirety before a crack is filled in. This will allow the material used to do the repair to adhere without any dirt or dust in the way. It will also allow the roofing company to find any additional damage to the foam roof so it can also be repaired as necessary. A roofing company will remove natural debris by hand and use a foam cleansing agent to wipe away any dirt accumulation, allowing cracks and pitted areas to be seen as a result.
Caulk Will Be Inserted In The Crack
A roofing service will use a SPF compatible roofing caulk to fill in all cracks found. This is inserted into the crevices with a caulk gun. The material will harden, sealing the foam so moisture cannot penetrate through to the underlying wood. The roof will then require a new coating of foam to cover up the sealed area from view.
The Right Foam Will Be Used
Foam rooftops will require the same type of foam is used when making a repair. A roofer will be able to determine if the rooftop is comprised of silicone, urethane, or acrylic. They will then use the same type of foam when doing the repair work. This is important as trying to use a different type of foam can leave the rooftop looking discolored.
