Fix that Leak for Good Without Removing Existing Repairs

Sashco Fix that Leak
October 1, 2022 at 3:00 p.m.

By Sashco.  

Have you sealed the same leak countless times, only for the leak to return? Time to fix it for good with Through the Roof 

Tired of leaks coming back with a vengeance? Looking for something to seal the leak, but don’t feel up to removing the past four roof repair products you have already tried on the leak? Allow us to save you some time, the product you are looking for is Sashco’s  Through the ROOF!®.

Through the ROOF!® doesn’t require you remove existing repairs to use it, the product will stick to and seal a number of existing roof repair products, including:

  • Asphalt 

  • Roof cement 

  • Bitumen products 

  • EPDM rubber* 

  • Most roof sheet coatings 

  • And more!

Through the ROOF!® can even be applied in the middle of a rain or snow storm! 

*OK – one caveat: Silicone must be removed. Nothing sticks to silicone, including silicone, so it will have to come off. After testing several products, we’ve found that McKanica® Silicone Caulk Remover works the best. It’s available at hardware stores nationwide. 

Here’s how to do it: 

Through the ROOF! works great to repair cracked shingles and failed roof patches. 

1 - Thoroughly clean the surface. 
Make sure it’s free of dust, bird poo, loose or flaking roof materials, etc. And, as mentioned above, get rid of silicone if it’s present. 

2 - Apply Through the ROOF!® 
If using the brush-on formula, use a disposable foam paintbrush and apply no less than 1/16″ thick. If sealing cracks in existing asphalt roof repairs or other roof cement, make sure you get enough down in the cracked asphalt, as well as around the edges of the repair to truly ensure it’s sealed. If using the traditional cartridge formula, be sure to smooth it out on the surface to ensure it’s adhering well to the existing patch, as well as an extra 1/8″ to 1/4″ beyond the existing patch. 

3 - Enjoy staying dry. 
Congratulations! You just sealed that nagging roof leak and can enjoy the fruits of your labor, namely a leak-free home. 

Don’t take our word for it 

Be sure to check out Through the ROOF!® reviews over at Amazon.com where survivors of years-long leaks have finally been able to say “firve-year leak GONE!” This could be you, too. Then, hop in your car for a visit to your nearest Sashco retailer to pick up your own Through the ROOF!® before El Nino and hurricane season have you scrambling.
