  flexible waterproof material. It is quick and
  easy temporary fix for a roof leak repair.

  moisture out. This is an emergency repair that
  can be completed in minutes, so always make sure
  you have a TARP handy that you could use in a

Use Silicone to stop the Leak

• A good silicone coating could last up to 15 years
  with proper annual maintenance and inspection of
  the roof after any weather impacting events.
• Silicone roof coatings will first and foremost
  seal up and stop up all of your existing roof
  leaks, without requiring you to locate and repair
  every single one individually.
• Silicone is especially good for fixing a small
  hole in a shingle, flashing or soffit. Some
  roofers use silicone around chimneys and this can
  become old and cracked. A fresh application can
  help stop a leak in these trouble areas.

  market finding one that can repair the leak can
  be difficult. It is not a long term fix but but
  can help in an emergency situation.

Roof Flashing to Temporarily Cover

• Roof flashing is a flimsy metal material that can
  be caulked under shingles over leaking areas. The
  flashing allows water to run over the area
  without being able to get into the house.
• Roof Flashing can be very effective at stopping
  leaks around the base of the chimney or in parts
  of the roof where the most water will drain to.
• Professional roofing contractors will usually
  install flashing when the roof is originally
  built in order to ensure the longevity of the
  roof.

  good chance that your pipe flashing boot has been
  cracked or busted. This can happen to old pipe
  flashings.
• You can purchased and replaced at minimal cost
  and could be just what you need to stop the leak.
  Make sure to measure and choose the correct size
  for your pipe. There are a variety of sizes and
  colors.
• Slip a flat bar under the edge of the vent
  flashing and pop the nails up. Pull the old
  flashing up over the vent pipe and scrape any old
  caulk and debris off the roof. Slide the new
  flashing over the vent pipe and under the
  shingles above the pipe.
