What is your opinion of metal roof coatings on a sloped roof? Is it a viable method for eliminating leaks?		Lorry Kelly 10/6/2013	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/18874/find/
It probably will not be a good long term solution		Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 10/6/2013	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/18875/find/
What do you consider long term? Just curious		Lorry Kelly 10/7/2013	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/18876/find/

There are some coatings that we have used on flat roof applications that have life cycle tests on them that indicate 10 year increments. What is leaking on the roof and can that be repaired?

Finding the leak has been the difficulty. We had the flat roofs "redone" but the leaks continued, so the next theory is where the slopes meet - ie the dormers. Chasing leaks is always a mystery.		Lorry Kelly 10/15/2013	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/18880/find/
Try to get someone out there with an IR camera and that will help narrow the searching.		Eric Novotny An informed customer is the Best Customer! 10/15/2013	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/18881/find/
I'm assuming if the IR shows an area with alot of heat escaping that would be an area with a leak? I apprciate all of your help!		Lorry Kelly 10/17/2013	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/18882/find/
IR will show where the moisture is.		Eric Novotny An informed customer is the Best Customer! 10/17/2013	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/18883/find/
