    • 2

      Clean the roof with a damp mop and let the roof dry.

      Apply sealing tape to the area where the leaking occurs. Remove the clear covering from the tape and apply the tape 3 to 4 inches at a time.

    • 4

      Rub the tape well to ensure that is adheres tightly.

    • 5

      Check the inside for roof damage where the leak was.
