There are many different kinds of roofing materials on the market today, and Roof sealant, like that from CT1 is one of the most common. Whether it’s a wood shake slate, or tile roof, there will always be some kind of sealant applied to prevent water from getting inside the shingles or tiles. Roofing sealant works by stopping water from seeping into the roof. It also helps to prevent moisture from evaporating from the roof and building materials below the surface, so that they don’t rot and start to mold.
The way roof sealant works varies based on the kind of roof you have, as well as the climate of your area. While some roofs may need to be treated more than others depending on where you live, in general the general rule of thumb is that the newer the roof, the more you should expect to use roof sealant. If you live in an area where snow regularly hits your roof, you should expect to apply roof sealant every six to twelve months. In areas that experience colder temperatures, you should apply it every year or less. Regardless of the climate where you live however, if you need to protect your roof from high wind or heavy rain, you should make sure that you are applying roof sealant on a regular basis no matter what.
Once the sealant is applied properly, it will be able to adhere to any surface, including your roof, and you can expect it to work as quickly as possible. It can be used for just about any kind of roof problem, including leaky pipes, damaged shingles, and cracked tiles. So no matter what roofing issue you are currently dealing with, chances are that you can get it fixed with a good application of roof sealant.
