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.
Before you can fix the problem, you need to find it. During rain:
Check for visible water drops or wet patches on ceilings or walls.
Inspect the roof drainage system—clogged gutters or water accumulation can cause leakage.
Look for cracks, gaps, or damaged joints in the roof surface or around pipes.
If it’s raining and the leakage has started, use the following quick fixes:
Apply waterproof tape over the leaking area to block water entry temporarily. It’s ideal for small cracks.
Use a plastic sheet or tarpaulin to cover the affected area on the roof until proper treatment can be done.
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.
Once the weather is dry, go for professional waterproofing to avoid future leaks:
Apply two-component waterproofing chemical like Aqua Seal 200 to seal cracks and pores.
For badly cracked or old roofs, apply waterproofing fabric (canvas) with a chemical topcoat like Aqua Seal 1001.
Use a reflective waterproofing coating to protect against both heat and rain.
For long-lasting results, apply polyurethane or bitumen membrane with torching for flat RCC roofs.
Remove debris from gutters and water outlets regularly.
Check and clean downpipes to avoid blockage.
Ensure that the roof slope is correct so water doesn’t accumulate.
