Common leak locations
Most RV roof leaks start at a penetration or a transition, not in the middle of the membrane. The usual suspects:
- Skylights and roof vents
- Air conditioner gaskets and surrounds
- Seams, edges, and end caps
- Slideout roofs and toppers
- Ladders, racks, antennas, and other accessories
- Old lap sealant that has cracked, lifted, or been layered over
Signs the leak may be worse than it looks
A small stain can sit at the end of a long water path. Soft spots underfoot, sagging ceiling panels, a musty smell in cabinets, or discoloured wall panels usually mean water has been travelling inside the structure for a while. We check for these during every leak inspection so the repair plan reflects what is actually happening, not just what shows.
How we inspect and repair roof leaks
We start on the roof: sealant condition, seams, penetrations, membrane condition, and any prior repairs. Then we check the interior for staining, softness, and odour. Repairs target the entry point first — removing failed sealant, repairing the damaged area, and resealing with materials compatible with your roof type.
What happens if water damage is found
If the inspection turns up soft sheathing or interior damage, we document it with photos and walk you through practical options — from targeted repair to larger structural work. Sealing over damaged structure is not a repair, and we will tell you when that is the case.
Pricing
Final pricing depends on roof size, roof condition, prep requirements, travel, access, visible damage, and hidden damage found during inspection.
That is why estimates start with an inspection or photos — it keeps the quote honest instead of padded.
