Not resealing once per year.
Roofs
All roofs require maintenance.
At least two times each year,
inspect all seams: front, rear,
around all vents, and along all
moldings for voids, lifting, peel-
ing or cracking. Reseal as nec-
essary or at least one time each
year. If you notice any deterio-
ration in the seal, scrape off any
cracked or loose sealant and
then reseal the area.
COMPONENT MAINTENANCE AVOID
Sealants
All sealants used in construction
can deteriorate from U.V.
exposure, air polution, freezing
temperatures and other exposure
to weather elements.
Tape sealants used around
doors, windows, and extrusions
are subject to dry out conditions
by sunlight and will allow water
seepage when they deteriorate.
Inspect sealants at least two
times each year and look for
voids and/or dried out, cracking
or peeling conditions. See
Fig. 7-5 or 7-6. Inspect all
locations as indicated in Figures
7-8 or 7-9. Reseal as necessary
or at least one time each year.
Contact your dealer for the
appropriate sealant to use.
Using poor quality sealing ma-
terial.
Failure to reseal sealant and
putty tape.
Clearance Lights
Inspect all exterior lights to make
sure they do not have moisture
trapped inside. The “weep”
holes at the bottom of the lights
must be kept open to allow mois-
ture to escape from the light
fixture.
Inspect and seal corners of the
door frame threshold one time
each year. Fig. 7-7
