How to Fix Roof Leakage in Rainy Season

Roof leakage during the rainy season is a common and frustrating problem for homeowners in Karachi and across Pakistan. Constant water seepage not only damages the structure but can also lead to mold, wall stains, and higher maintenance costs. Fortunately, there are reliable ways to fix roof leakage—even during the rain.

In this article, we’ll guide you through how to fix roof leakage during the rainy season, both as an emergency fix and a long-term solution.


1. Identify the Source of Leakage

Before you can fix the problem, you need to find it. During rain:


2. Temporary Emergency Solutions (During Ongoing Rain)

If it’s raining and the leakage has started, use the following quick fixes:

Roof Leak Tape or Patches

Apply waterproof tape over the leaking area to block water entry temporarily. It’s ideal for small cracks.

Plastic Sheet or Tarp Cover

Use a plastic sheet or tarpaulin to cover the affected area on the roof until proper treatment can be done.

Sealant Spray

Use ready-to-use waterproofing sealant sprays to patch cracks or gaps instantly.

🛑 Note: These are only temporary fixes! Permanent waterproofing is needed after the rain stops.


3. Permanent Waterproofing Solutions (After Rain Stops)

Once the weather is dry, go for professional waterproofing to avoid future leaks:

🔹 Cementitious Waterproofing

Apply two-component waterproofing chemical like Aqua Seal 200 to seal cracks and pores.

🔹 Canvas Cloth Treatment

For badly cracked or old roofs, apply waterproofing fabric (canvas) with a chemical topcoat like Aqua Seal 1001.

🔹 Heat-Proof cum Waterproof Coating

Use a reflective waterproofing coating to protect against both heat and rain.

🔹 PU or Bitumen Membrane

For long-lasting results, apply polyurethane or bitumen membrane with torching for flat RCC roofs.
