Worn screw washers
Every screw on an exposed fastener roof has a rubber washer that seals the hole. Strong sun dries and cracks those washers over time, and water slips past.

Metal Roof Leak Repair in Spanish Fork
Metal roofs are tough and long lasting, which is why you see them on homes, shops, barns, porches and patio covers around Spanish Fork. But tough does not mean leak proof. Most metal roof leaks come from small parts like screws, washers, seams and trim, not the panels themselves.
We find the failed spot and repair it the right way. Call (801) 426-8831.
Find the source. Fix it right.
About this service
Types of Metal Roofs We Repair
Exposed fastener panels. These are the ribbed panels held down with screws driven through the face of the metal. They are common on shops, outbuildings, carports, porch roofs and some homes.
Standing seam. Panels are joined with raised seams and hidden clips, with no screws through the surface. They are more common on newer homes and higher end projects.
Each type leaks in different ways, so the repair is different too.
What to know
Why Metal Roofs Leak
◎
Loose screws
Metal expands in summer heat and shrinks on cold nights. In Spanish Fork, with big swings between day and night temperatures, that movement slowly loosens screws and widens holes.
✓
Over or under tightened screws
A screw driven too tight crushes its washer. Too loose and it never sealed. Both leak.
☂
Panel laps
Where panels overlap, wind driven rain and melting snow can be pulled in if the lap is not sealed properly.
❄
Seam failures
On standing seam roofs, seams can separate or lose their sealant, especially where panels meet ridge, wall or valley trim.
⚒
Flashing and trim
Ridge caps, wall flashing, pipe flashing and edge trim are frequent leak points, especially if they were not installed with the right closures and sealant.
◈
Rust
Scratched coatings, cut edges and spots where wet debris sits can rust through over time.
★
Snow and ice
Snow sliding off a metal roof can tear off vent pipes and gutters. Ice building up at the edge can push water up under trim.
How it works
How We Repair Metal Roof Leaks
We swap old screws for new ones with fresh washers, often one size larger if the hole has widened.
We clean and reseal panel overlaps and seams with sealants made for metal.
Bent, loose or poorly sealed trim gets refastened or replaced.
We install proper metal roof pipe boots that flex with the panel ribs.
Small rust areas are cleaned and sealed. Panels that have rusted through are patched or replaced.
If a panel is badly dented, holed or rusted, we replace that section.
STEP 01Replace worn fasteners

Metal Roof Leak Repair
Should a Metal Roof Be Coated?
For older exposed fastener roofs with many worn screws and surface rust, a roof coating can sometimes extend the life of the roof. It is not the right fix for every roof. We will tell you honestly if it makes sense for yours, or if targeted repairs are the better choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still have a question? Call and ask. We will give you a straight answer.
(801) 426-8831 →The screws themselves last a long time, but the rubber washers usually wear out sooner, especially under strong sun. Checking and replacing worn fasteners every so often prevents most exposed fastener leaks.
Yes. If it is a metal roof on any building in Spanish Fork, we can repair it.
Melting snow and ice dams can push water up under laps and trim that shed rain just fine. Condensation under uninsulated metal roofs can also drip in cold weather and look like a leak.
Metal roofs can be very slippery, especially when wet, dusty or frosty. We use proper safety gear. Homeowners should stay off.
Dents from hail are usually cosmetic, but severe impacts can loosen fasteners or crack seams. We check for that after storms. See storm and hail damage repair.
