Can we cover asphalt leak with metal roof? | Ask The Experts Forum

Guest User 3/31/2009	We currently have 1 layer of asphalt roof and have a leak coming into our garage. If we were to get a metal shingle roof installed, with underlayment, will that lock in moisture in the garage attic and start a mold problem? Do we need to fix the leak first and let it dry out before getting the metal roof installed?	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/13045/find/
Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 4/5/2009	The moisture does not bother me. However, if there is rotted wood, it needs to be addressed. Also, I always suggest tracking down and at least knowing the source of the leak before proceeding with a new roof. That can go a long way in making sure that you don't still have the same leak after all has been fixed.	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/13046/find/
