Thanks for all the help. My roofing in Toronto during the rainy season is the worse. We have pots catching water all over the house just like you see in the movies, its almost funny. I'm excited to just get it fixed and not have to deal with it anymore. Thanks again!

For finding leaks just make an inspection of your living place or where you want to find damages. For fixing the roof leaks use a mixture of cement, sand and water. The previous one is a great article and keep sharing. jacksonville emergency roof damage repair - http://www.emergencycleaningservicejacksonville.com/

This was a great article but it didn't make any reference to skylight repairs?? My roof has been leaking for about 6yrs. or longer. Not only am I tired of the XL cat litter pan(to catch the water but I'm concerned about the Mold/Mildew issue. My limited knowledge of leaks, tells me that it very well may NOT be the skylights. I've been in the attic 5 times(0ver the yrs.) and I couldn't see where its leaking. I'm 64 & on Social Sec.and I've been "taken" by more Contractors, than I'd like to admit. So, I try to fix things myself. I did save the article on "Making a Skylight Leakproof" but that's starting from new. Thanks for listening to me, Susan Williams

Good, thorough treatment of a common problem Only thing I would add is to forbid the use of SILICONE caulk as a repair material. Many people think silicone somehow is better than "regular" caulk.. In fact, it may last almost forever, but it usually fails to stick for longer than a year in adverse conditions,thus it conceals future problems without fixing anything
