My roof has a minor leak. The leak is coming from the kitchen sink sewer vent. I have a pail under the vent now. The whole roof has ice build up on it, icicles too. The bathroom exhaust fan has caused about a 4 inch in round ice formation down the siding where the bathroom is and bathroom window.
I’ve never dealt with leaking roofs before. So I have a few questions for the group. In your opinion is the ice on the roof the cause of this leak?
To fix the leak would the correct way be to clean all the old sealant off and reseal it with some type of neoprene or polyurethane seal?
My last question is on roof coatings. From what I remember from fall the roof had
very little coating on it. I thought maybe if it was coated it might not get anymore leaks and maybe not be so hot like an oven in the summertime. I thought of using something called kool seal elastomeric roof coating.
I do have mark’s book on mobile homes. Just want to make sure I understand the steps for coating.
1.scrub all dirt and grime off roof
2 seal around sewer vents and furnace vent and seams
3. I was going to use some type of metal roof primer 4. Spread roof coating on with paint roller with long handle.
I was planning on doing this next spring sometime. I’d appreciate any help or advice you can give.
Thanks
