3 ways to fix leaking roof and gutters - DIY

I have to reseal my box gutter at a warehouse, should I clean the previous silicone off before applying the crommelin or just paint it straight on top 2 coats?

If the job isent done with first coat the product is no good because that means you have to go back up the ladder again if your working on a job that's to much time and effort heavy liquid products are much better

bull shit it's not that easy

Legend mate thank you.

Use fastfix wet shield so much better

On our leaking tin roof I used gaffer tape to cover the rusted problem areas, then painted over with that grey Crommelin waterproofing compound - absolutely fantastic, and has held solid for over a year now.

Thanks for that,
It was really helpful

Dudewhat is fucking best option

We'll take your word for it that it worked then

Hi Bill. Where can I purchase the crommelin ?? Not Home Depot nor Lowes.

Garbage products after 4 months leaks again

Hey Bill any chance of doing a video how to replace a cracked roof tile?
Love your handy tips

he has a cool speech impediment

Would be nice if you showed how you applied the silicon or what we call caulk.

Do not buy those spray product. They crack later. Doesn't last long.

does spray can last long comparing with other 2?

Great video! Much needed with all this rain!

Question, do you know which one of the 3 would work best in a place with lower temps during winter. We are talking Minnesota weather so sometimes in the minus.

Thank you for the video, very helpful

Bill, I would have added the liquid bitumen product. Crommelin 1l is about $16. Now bitumen is also compatible with drinking water surfaces. To make the job longer lasting soak it to a support cloth, polyester, fiberglass, cotton etc. This is specially useful for the first roof surface you fixed. It can be painted if the repair surface is visible. The paintbrush can be cleaned in water Keep em coming

Thank you for the tips. I think the Aerosol LeakSeal is the go as it can get in and onto inaccessible places. I have used a product which is similar to a thick bitumen tar. It is most useful as it is can be forced into cracked to get a proper seal. In fact, you can make it run better but heating it with a heat gun. Not pretty as it is black as tar (pun) and is lumpy. But it is out of sight anyway, up in the roof gutters.

Awesome tips! Can you do one around fixing the fall in a gutter? Water pools up in one section of my gutter

I thought I'd like the spray but it's just too think and by the time you get a little area done, it's gone. I'd rather use the gallon container and seal it properly

Wat is best so floplast gutter on joint union to allow exspantion I connected a new to old plastic and fitted a new seal but the gutter is lost a bit of profile

hey man. I have leaking gutters but on all the joins. I have a colourbond roof and right at the back of the join is very hard to get to and clean properly but tried my best and got it pretty clean and dry. I have tried with roof and gutter silicone with longer silicone nozzles to reach right at the back of the join. Siliconed it but still leaks. Improved it but still leaking ( mainly from the rivets) Very annoying. Just drips. Should I try the spray ? Do I need to clean and take off the silicone I put before applying the spray? I have only done it from the inside of the gutter

Dodgy gutters pty ltd is his buisness name 🤣

Can the waterproof be used on top of the concrete silicone

Used the spray on a split in the flashing, great result and just need to paint it now. Thanks Bill.

Litterally the dumbest thing i have ever seen

if water is leaking above the bay window, should I use either of the products? Whic ius best? wouod the item be painter/sprayed from the outyside?

How can I get in New Delhi?

Ty Bill...very helpful and great explanation

I use lexel. Works better than any other product

Thanks Bill. I know what I'll be doing tomorrow if it's not raining.

I have a gutter placed in the housing of a canopy, with lexan plates, not at the end of it but just before it.
The gutter leaks from the brackets that support it (a few drops), especially in the point where there is the slope of the canopy near the hole and the end of the gutter, there is a continuous stream of water.

Thanks for the video, what's the largest crack width which you would seal with the spray? Cheers

Thanks a bunch the brush on looks better job the spray not sure thanks

Cheers for the guide mate
