High Wind Water Damage

Print VersionBookmarkEmail this page to a friend.
Here's a new technique to protect your house from water damage during high winds. Once the plywood roof sheathing has been attached, an adhesive bituminous membrane is applied across the panel joints to keep the rain out if the roof covering is lost in a storm. This seals the joints of the plywood so water doesn't run between the joints and into your house.
