Roof Leaking -- Rain Tonight
Posted: Sat Dec 27, 2008 3:56 pm
I have a 1970 14 x 60 with a leak in the bedroom. I had a regular stick house roofer look at it. He said that the middle of the roof formed a "V" and water had collected about 1" to 1.5" deep. He sweep off the water, but said that he could not do anything while it is wet.
I asked if he could put a tarp on the roof for tonight because it was supposed to rain starting at Midnight and lasting most of the day, he said the water would go through the tarp if he did not build the middle up. He said to build up the middle would be expensive. Also he could not finish before nightfall.
He said he would come back when it is dry and the forecast was for a couple of dry days to seal it.
Any suggestions?
