Screen Room roof leak

D4810 · #1 Aug 2, 2007, 12:22 PM

I have a two year old screen roof that has a insulated roof system. Since this roof faces the east in the hot Florida sun there is plenty of expansion and contraction. The room continues to leak each time it rains. It has been suggested that due to the pitch of that roll roofing be applied to the plenty roof to stop the leaks. Is this correct. The other concern is that the expense may be a couple of thousands. Any help would be appreciated.

Should be an easy fix. Home depot or lowes sells a self adhering modified membrane. The leak is probably coming in where the existing roof meets the porch. You need to get the membrane under the shingles about 8-12 inches. Roll the remaining membrane onto the porch. Make sure it is covering the roof joint. The membrane has a removable film on the back for easy adhering. The membrane need to be installed with the width of the porch.

Hope this helps
