Trailer Roof Leak? Skip a Quick Fix for a Lasting One & Save

Your tractor trailer roof experiences a lot of wear and tear, from wind and weather to flying road debris and the effects of freeze/thaw cycles. As with other components on your trailer, these issues take a toll over time, wearing down seals and resulting in cracks, gaps and holes that put your trailer and cargo at-risk. It might seem easy to quickly tape, patch, or caulk a leaky trailer roof – the first time. After that, neither quick nor easy come into play as dirty tape or peeling patches and caulk complicate matters: Achieving a good seal becomes more difficult and time-consuming with each repair attempt, and over time repair costs add up. At some point, you’ll have to stop the insanity – or risk snowballing trailer damage.

What Can You Save by Skipping the Quick Fix for a Lasting Roof Repair?

Instead of turning to temporary solutions and constantly re-patching your trailer roof, making an appointment for a lasting, professional roof repair could save you quite a bit in…

• Trailer Value 

Except for when you’re in a pinch, letting a leaky roof go long-term ultimate decreases its value as water damage compounds over time.

• Equipment & Cargo

It doesn’t take long for equipment and cargo left beneath a leaky trailer roof to suffer extensive damage from moisture, mold, and mildew.

• Trailer Structural Damage

Eventually, compounding water damage leads to mold and structural rot – and the need for more extensive and costly repairs.
