Rolled tar roof leaks on porch, any solutions?
We have a built-on porch (to the detached garage) put on in the 60's by the previous owner. The roof is tar, flat, and now it is leaking badly. A handyman put some tar stuff on it once or twice and that helped, but only momentarily. Do we have no option but to bring this porch down? Can a flat rolled roof like that even be fixed? The water is coming in on some studs in the back of the porch, where is becomes a lilttle work room. I don't like the idea of wet lumber. Any suggestions are welcome. Helen.
